I was always advised to rent on a long term basis - on the pretext that anyone long term would look after the house better than anyone who rented short term/holiday let; and that it may be less money per month, but in the long term it was financially better.
After three years of letting this way - and thousands of pounds worth of bills - and having to deal with letting agents who returned the deposit to the tenants without checking the house/inventory I threw the towel in!! I have stopped letting. The house is for my sole use now - no rent money.... but more importantly no hassle!!
