When the July 4th re-opening date was announced, the local news reports over the following few days were of bookings being up by hundreds of percent, and people being inundated with phone calls and emails - and we sat here wondering who was getting them, because we weren't, not a single booking or e...

Thanks all - the rooms have sat unused for months at a time previously, but that's been over the winter, so even when the sun's been out it's not been strong... ....now, of course, being south-facing, from late March to mid-July it's been a different story - and a consequence we hadn't envisaged at ...

Thanks for the replies.... The king duvet cover is 50/50 polycotton, and has a full-width colour panel (matching the headboard), so using bleach isn't an option... ....similarly, although 100% cotton, the twin single covers have a centre detail panel edged with coloured piping, again ruling out blea...

'Bleached' bedding - help!
So after nearly four months, we're getting ready this week to re-open - we last had guests in early March, and the rooms have sat basically untouched since... ....this morning, we went round and removed the 'unnecessary' soft furnishing items, ie., cushions and bed runners - and on taking the latter...

I'd subsequently realised that - but as holiday travel had already been officially classed as non-essential (as per my post of Monday morning), no-one should be making journeys to holiday lets either. What is significant is that the wording in the 'exceptions' specifically only allows people already...

Holiday Travel now officially classed 'non-essential'
The government has finally clarified that travel to second homes, holiday venues, etc., is deemed to be 'non-essential': "Sunday evening, the government issued a further statement, clarifying its advice that "people should avoid travelling unless it is essential". Essential travel, th...

We have already suggested that she could redirect them to us, as we still have an as of yet uncancelled booking for the two nights beforehand... ....but we might be passing that stage already - there is such outrage growing here following some platforms promoting the area as a place to 'escape' to, ...

Booking.com being unhelpful
Took a worried phone call yesterday from the lady across the road, who now she's on her own has scaled-down her B&B to a one-room part-time basis - she was asking if we'd had any dealings with booking.com, as they were being very unhelpful in the current situation... ....her age means she is in ...

Doubtless like many others, we have had nothing but cancellations in the last few weeks, and no new bookings - and with the current measures revolving around a 12-week timeframe (taking us into early June) we're fully expecting the dozen remaing nights in our diary during that period to cancel soon....

Feeling left out. :( Come on Seb, what's wrong with Cornwall? Nothing, apparently - we received his email enquiry, which had us fooled to start with, but then we're new to all this..... ....Our suspicions were instantly raised when his response to our reply with room rates had stuff about a company...
