Hi Isy, I would be inclined not to be over generous. Did you struggle to fill June last year? There is still plenty of time to go and most people won't start booking their summer holiday until after Christmas. Yes, a small discount for cleaning but won't you still offer a change of linen? I always s...

In 3 years, one booking - from France, and they were meeting up with family who lived in Liverpool! I have no idea why I don't get enquiries from abroad - probably because I only advertise on HL and don't have my own website. We are in such a great spot, but maybe a little off the beaten track (or W...

Hi Derek, Welcome to the forum. Like Apexblue the majority of my bookings come from HL - I was slower to book up this year but got there eventually and I only had one review up until a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps it is because we are UK based?? I don't like them as much since they were taken over a...

Hi Kathy, I agree with the others that if you don't have a contract with them then they may not realise they are doing anything that may upset you. They are only going for 6 days, presumably so they can be back for change-over, and in their minds, not letting you down at all. I suppose you need to d...

We have very soft water in our area (thank the Lord!) so no problem with limescale but my tip for bathrooms is Flash spray with bleach. I give the tiles, bath, loo, sink, screen and taps a really good spray (it foams up so you can see where you've done) and leave for 20 mins while I strip the beds. ...

That would make me so mad! I'm a non-smoker and very anti-smoking. It annoys me when I turn up at my place and find cigaretter butts stuck in the planters and left on the patio. Grrr! but smoking in the house is the ultimate insult. Bob has said it very well. I would keep the entire security deposit...
