ABOUT STAYWRIGHT

Hospitality started at home.

A spare room, a listing, and the idea of welcoming travellers into the home Cory shares with his partner. That was the beginning.

Cory Carr, founder of Staywright

Hello, I’m Cory.

Founder of Staywright

What stayed with me from hosting at home was how much people appreciated the ordinary things done with care.

A fresh bed, a good shower, a friendly conversation and a little help when they needed it. We welcomed people from around the world, often hearing about where they had been and where they were going next.

A conversation with a local property manager prompted a new idea: offer that experience and attention to other property owners. That became Staywright.

My background brings together customer service, graphic design and business. I enjoy finding what gives a property its own appeal, whether that means a furnishing plan, a clearer listing or the small provisions a guest is pleased to find.

A considered collection.

I’m building Staywright around suitable properties and owners who value the experience they provide. The ambition is a collection of stays with character, supported by clear standards and dependable everyday work.

Local knowledge is part of that care: a café around the corner, a useful recommendation, or the easiest way to get where you are going.

We begin with your property, its condition and what you want from short-term accommodation. I’ll explain where Staywright can help and what preparation may be needed.
