A few things owners ask.

Can I claim an existing directory listing?

Yes, where the hut page offers a claim link. Sign in and explain your authority to manage the entire listing. Our team verifies the claim before you take it over and complete listing review and payment setup. Group listings remain external-booking advertisements unless staff verify a single individually rentable hut.

How do I choose my rental route?

Sign in or create one Hut & Tide account, then start your hut listing. Choose advertising with a link to your own booking website, or availability and booking requests managed through Hut & Tide. Save your hut details and submit them for review. Contact our team about changing a submitted listing or an existing billing arrangement.

What are the listing fees?

Advertising costs £5 per month, per hut, paid through a recurring Stripe subscription that you start after listing approval. The Hut & Tide bookings route charges 12% commission on hire payments. Guests authorise their card before approval, and payment is captured when the booking is approved. Your share is processed when due after checkout, less the saved commission and any refunds. Bank arrival depends on Stripe and your bank. An external booking provider's charges are separate.

Why does each rental route use Stripe differently?

Advertising uses Stripe Checkout for the monthly listing subscription and the Stripe billing portal for payment details, invoices and cancellation. The Hut & Tide bookings route uses Stripe-hosted identity and bank-account setup for owner payouts. Completing payout setup does not collect a guest payment or publish a hut; listing review is a separate step.

What happens if a guest cancels?

For Hut & Tide bookings, choose non-refundable or a full refund until 7, 14, 21 or 28 days before hire. Guests accept the policy at checkout, and each booking keeps the terms agreed at that time. Guests can cancel from their private booking page; owners can issue more generous refunds. Bookings made on your own website follow that provider’s terms.

How do I follow my council's rules?

Check your licence or lease before hiring out your hut. Rules can include hire-day limits, maximum charges and residency requirements. Keep the relevant records and check your booking arrangements with your council and provider.

What about damage and insurance?

Check that your insurance covers hiring out your hut and explain your house rules before booking. Hut & Tide does not collect a separate damage deposit or settle damage claims. For external bookings, check your provider’s deposit arrangements; contact your insurer about damage cover.
