Bringing You the Best in Dog-Friendly Holidays & Holiday Letting Advice
I’m Carl, the guy behind Woodfarm Barns & Barges in Suffolk and Casa Trebbio in Tuscany. For over 15 years, I’ve been running what I like to think is a successful holiday letting business, helping thousands of guests (and their dogs!) escape to the countryside or enjoy a peaceful waterside retreat.
Along the way, I’ve learned a thing or two about what makes a holiday rental work: not just for guests, but for owners like me too. That’s why I started Holiday Letting Unlocked, offering no-nonsense advice for fellow holiday let owners who want to succeed in an ever-changing market.
Why Trust My Advice?
15+ Years of Hands-On Experience – I’ve grown Woodfarm from nothing. From the ground up, adapting to trends, economic changes, and evolving customer habits. It's a minefield and I know where a lot of the mines are!
Dog-Friendly Holiday Pioneer – Long before it became trendy, I made sure my Suffolk Barns and Barges were designed for four-legged guests just as much as their humans.
Tuscany Insider – Owning and managing a holiday home in Italy has given me a unique perspective on running a property overseas.
The consultancy side of who I am covers everything from Choosing your property, The Planning process, Preparing for letting, Fit-out,Branding & positioning, Pricing strategy, Sales & Marketing, Growth strategy, Website & SEO, Building your database (and what to do with it), Social media, Customer loyalty and Managing your team, plus more besides.
Straight-Talking & Practical – No fluff, no gimmicks: just tried-and-tested insights that work in the real world.
