Leigh Ashbee & Taylor Norman

We’re Leigh Ashbee and Taylor Norman, founders of The Short Stay Consultancy. With over a decade in the short-term rental industry, we’ve built and scaled our own STR portfolios from single properties to multi-unit operations, navigating everything from market volatility to operational challenges.
Our passion lies in empowering others to succeed in this dynamic space. After years of refining strategies that drove our growth, we’ve developed comprehensive programs - from beginner blueprints to advanced scaling plans - designed to streamline operations, boost revenue, and foster sustainable expansion. We’re committed to delivering personalised 1:1 coaching and expert advice, helping homeowners, investors, and managers achieve their goals without the guesswork.
Even with the endless sea of courses, “gurus,” and mentors online, very few can genuinely guide you through the entire short-stay journey - from your very first property to scaling a full operation and eventually achieving a profitable exit.
Most stop at surface-level advice. They can tell you what to do but rarely how to do it - and almost never with the transparency or accountability that comes from having lived it firsthand.
We built The Short Stay Consultancy to change that.
Our mission is to provide honest, experience-backed guidance that covers every stage - setup, growth, automation, and scaling - all the way through to selling or stepping back on your own terms. We don’t believe in theory or shortcuts; we believe in tested systems, straight-talking advice, and helping you make the smartest moves possible for your business.
If you’re serious about building something sustainable, profitable, and built to last - this is where you’ll find the roadmap.
