Profit
Is an Airbnb in Strachur Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Strachur Airbnb took in £16,972 in the 12 months to April 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £930 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 £1,290 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £1,850 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,080 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £800 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 Strachur's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Strachur listings are booked on 73% or more of their nights, against 40% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £140 adds about £1,390 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £210 a night or more, against a median of £140. 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 £1,510 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about £2,940, against £1,340 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Strachur listings average 4.89 stars, and 53% 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 £1,960 a month, against £1,410 for the average one.
