This week’s episode is a banger - I sat down and had an amazing chat with Phil Saunders and I'm buzzing with all the insights he shared about the service accommodation world.

Phil's journey started with a super creative rent-to-SA glamping setup in the Peak District - basically turning farm land into a profitable venture. Now he's built an impressive portfolio across the UK and helps others break into the industry 🚀

In this episode, we dive deep into how he's managed to scale his business while navigating all the typical pitfalls. What stood out was his practical approach to choosing properties - he's all about those larger unique properties with hot tubs and cinema rooms that consistently outperform the standard units.

The conversation got really interesting when we talked about partnerships - Phil doesn't sugar-coat it - picking the right joint venture partners can make or break your business. He shared some horror stories and success cases - you’ll have to tune in to find out 👀

Phil revealed some clever alternative revenue streams that most hosts overlook - these little tweaks can seriously boost your bottom line - which you know I am all about.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up your existing SA business, this episode is packed with actionable strategies that Phil has personally tested and proven 🙌🏻
