Lay My Hat

I now use Out of Eden poly cotton. It is amazing quality. My Visit England report mentioned it specifically.

We now do
Milk
Orange juice
Prosecco or wine
Crisps
Ground coffee
Biscuits

We have had 2 full bottles hidden in the Woodburn though, I assume on religious grounds.

So I suppose I should ask people? This ruins the element of surprise though. People do mention this in reviews.

We had a very last minute guest. Our cleaner messed up a little- she forgot to put tea towels in the house. Also forgot to put our hard copy house manual- it is on line though. She has now told me some of the towels were slightly damp when she put them out. The guest has pointed these things out to ...

Sounds great, but we are not on site! If we were, we would simply take the rubbish out ourselves.

The problem is that there is no one to put the rubbish out as it means walking up a very long drive.

I think I am going to buy a wheelie bin.

I've only just started using the duvet protectors, due to the posh zip and link duvet. I would hope it would mean less regular washing. It is amazing how expensive it gets. I started off with Egyptian cotton. I have now changed to Out of Eden poly cotton. The Visit England inspector thought they wer...

I had no idea of that. I will contact the commercial waste people.

The problem still remains that the rubbish would have to be left out though. Though at least for fewer days.

Our house is on council tax, as we are waiting for business rates to kick in. We have a very long sloping drive. The rubbish is meant to be left out on the land on a Sunday night. We don't feel we can ask guests to 'put the rubbish out' as it is quite an undertaking! Also, the rubbish would not be t...

I have all of them! The zip link duvet is a revelation. I have the one from Out of Eden. There is no need to store the singles/superking when not in use. What's not to like? It is expensive to kit out all the beds, but I use Soak and Sleep and Out of Eden, brilliant quality and cheaper than the high...

You can add what is in your terms and conditions to the House Rules section. A house near us has about 50 house rules listed. We have extra ones too, e.g. we say we may terminate the booking if a dog is left unattended. If it's payment terms you are talking about then you have to abide by the Air B ...

We had guests last week who didn't know to press the button on the smoke alarm to make it stop. The alarm went off intermittently all night and they didn't sleep. They said they were afraid to touch it as they thought it could be wired into the mains and they might be electrocuted. They have my numb...

I have just discovered the zip and link duvet from Out of Eden. This makes things SO much easier.

It is a lot of bedding though...

I just bought mattresses from Hotel Contract beds for bunks.

I can't remember the name, but I phoned them and the bloke advised which ones to get.

I think, as this is a public forum, you need to be aware that anyone can post or read these forums. Actually, I think it is important to know guest point of view. An understanding of why they behave as they do. In only 3 weeks of rental I have had A duvet along with Egyptian cotton duvet cover taken...

The reason for the cleaning fee is to keep the daily price down. We are experimenting at the moment as it seems the price for a house like ours varies wildly! We have another cottage with a local agency. We pay the same for a changeover for 3 days or a week so short breaks can sometimes end up makin...

We have complete flexibility on air b and b- we only specify 3 day maximum stays. In August, we have 4 empty days that won't sell- all single days. So we have 'lost' £600. We probably would have sold August had we gone for a specific changeover day. However, our cleaners are happier as it means they...
