About Us
Based in the heart of Henley-on-Thames, we’re a team of passionate local hosts who know this corner of England inside out.

Emily
Director
Emily is our Director and the person who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Overseeing the day-to-day operations at Hostsmart, she makes sure our homes, guests and owners are all in safe hands.
Born and bred in the local area, Emily knows the local areas inside out and loves sharing what makes it such a special place. She’s also a self-confessed foodie, so if you’re looking for the best places to eat, from hidden local gems to brilliant seaside spots, Emily always has a recommendation up her sleeve.

Josephine
Guest relations manager
Josephine is at the heart of our guest relations, making sure every stay with Hostsmart is welcoming, smooth and memorable from start to finish. She’s also the friendly face you’ll find in our high street office, always happy to help with questions, local recommendations or anything guests may need during their stay.
Of course, Josephine doesn’t work alone. She’s joined by her very important assistant, Peggy, our four-legged team member who brings plenty of charm to the office and is always ready to greet visitors!
