Meet Jacqui – Your Holiday Let Mentor

Hi, I’m Jacqui, founder of Host & Bloom. 

My Airbnb journey began in 2015 when we transformed part of a small barn into a cosy, dog-friendly Airbnb for two. I wasn’t sure it would work and was nervous and unsure, but Woodpeckers Cottage flourished, and so did my love for hosting.

I quickly became a Superhost and have consistently held the title for almost 10 years.

In 2023 I joined Airbnb’s Superhost Ambassador programme and have now assisted hundreds of new hosts successfully list on Airbnb. Many are now Superhosts themselves! Read some of the sucess stories on Facebook 

In 2024 I became a professional Co-Host and my profile, along with the properties I support, can be viewed on Airbnb Co-Host Network 

In June 2025, I left my 'day job' to support other hosts full-time. 

Hosting on Airbnb has changed my life and now I support others to host with confidence
