We use F2B for both B&B & SC rentals and it works really well. Takes a bit of time to set up, arrival days, etc and has some limitations bu F2B staff very helpful if you call them up for assistance. Also, appreciate feedback on what is missing

We give a Welcome basket (home made muffins and shortbread) to SC guests and the saddest thing is seeing our little hand written 'Welcome' card in the recycling either whole, torn up or scrunched into a ball (the most annoying). AND we're left wondering if it lastest 5 mins, a day or the whole week ...

had guests charge electric bike batteries from an RCD protected socket in our shed but only one lot so far - most guests wouldn't probably ask about charging things and some come with multiple gadgets, batteries, etc. I wonder how long it will take the rental companies to expect a full tank and a fu...

It's a spring and we have about 10000 litres storage capacity, which we estimate would last about 7 days as it is shared with another property. We can't increase the hill reservoir and underground storage would be very expensive. i'd argue non-potable water delivery would arguably be ok (showers, to...

The real question is if Guest X uses our broadband service for dodgy purposes ... am I liable !? An accessible landline socket is a separate issue and easily solved. Similarly,...

Telephone & Wifi Limiting Liability

Hi, So, after 'Hello' the first guest question is 'What's your wifi code ?' We're setting up another property and contracting for broadband/wifi, and were seeking to bar outgoing calls on the phone-line (just in case someone brings a plug-in phone) to discover BT want £4.50/mth to stop someone using...
