Lay My Hat

Great news...it's so rewarding when happy guests are, well, happy

Well done.

Mine is this one - table/counter top - good for two people, it's basic but big enough for a 30cm pizza as it has a bulge at the back! Not for gourmet cooking but useful. I would love to find something like it which could be built in, or at least wall mounted for a more streamlined look. Yes fan assi...

I would say yes - if you're building the kitchen from scratch definitely try to include a mini-oven/grill. I have 2 x sleep-two apartments, 150m walk from a village bristling with restaurants, cafes, etc. No dishwasher, no oven, dishwasher has never been mentioned, - lack of oven mentioned about 3 o...

oh good.

So nice when something actually works!!!

arggghhh I have literally just sent a balance payment reminder to the wrong Louise.....an old repeat guest but not even booked this year. She's just emailed me to tell me. Feel like such a bafoon. P>S Can't shake this ghastly feeling I've got a double booking somewhere....and this thread isn't helpi...

I did this last week to someone when someone was grumbling about paying in full upfront...was just tired of discussions.

Offered to cancel and refund all monies paid so far.

Well done neat and picky...it's only a question of time before the guests start to get to grips with the new situation....so everything we can do to help educate them is great. The last two guests I mentioned "service charge" to had absolutely no idea what I was talking about...and why wou...

sorry to hear that Sam, don't think I can help as not in your area, but will post if I can think of anyone.

IIRC 9.8% is the top (on my property as it's the cheaper end) plus VAT

good morning OPH - wow I can imagine the stress levels!

Hope all goes well.

What a song and dance Pam! I have a friend whose parents became naturalized British Citizens 50/60 years ago, before she was born, She now lives in Rome but has to fly to the UK for an interview to renew her British Passport! p.s. edit to say: AND the cost! For those stupid electronic chip things wh...

By coincidence, Nemo, I was just looking at the advert report... A quick glance says it's been shown to about 2.5k people, vast majority on mobile devices, age group 25-44 This means all the people sitting at the pavement cafes in the hot nights this weekend (and watching the football ahah) Got 8 ne...

He was born just after the law came in (1981) allowing us ladies to pass our UK nationality to our offspring born abroad. Vive la difference! I'm intrigued Pam, I just renewed my daughter's passport, born in the UK (90's), British Mum, Pt Dad. Applied from Portugal mid June and the new one arrived l...

The proof of the pudding and all that. Has to be worth a punt. I think a high percentage of summer holidaymakers spend a great deal of their summer holiday online scouting options for the following year's summer holiday!! :lol: That's my thinking too Cass. My only doubt is the targeting info on FB ...

According to FB insights - 79% of the people near my business (150m radius) using FB in the last week are TOURISTS. Of course, as to be expected. Usually when I target my FB ads I try to avoid local people/businesses for the obvious reason that they're not holiday makers. So, I'm trying an ad target...
