Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in West Lulworth?

Gross bookings per West Lulworth listing averaged £33,054 over the 12 months to September 2026 (England average: £19,455), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average West Lulworth listing brings in £6,420 in August, its best month, and £1,870 in November, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 39% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 2.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn £7,780+ a month, about 3.1 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn £4,290 or more, roughly £1,800 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about £2,500 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn £1,440 or less, about 58% of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

August earns about 3.4 times what November does

The typical West Lulworth listing earns about £2,500 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb income calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in West Lulworth Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average West Lulworth Airbnb took in £33,054 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,660 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about £2,880 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the £4,390 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £2,020 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,420 a month.

These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How West Lulworth's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of West Lulworth listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 46% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £185 adds about £1,850 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £310 a night or more, against a median of £185. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about £2,870 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about £6,420, against £1,870 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. West Lulworth listings average 4.82 stars, and 48% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about £4,730 a month, against £2,750 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in West Lulworth?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in West Lulworth?

Yes, when it's run well. The average West Lulworth Airbnb grossed £33,054 in the 12 months to September 2026, 70% above the England average of £19,455. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, £19,904 a year (about £1,660 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about £2,880 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
