To Joffan, I guess that your advert indicates a phone number in France. By the way, do not be surprised if most of the calls come from French people.

Morristhedog : proceed as you think it is the best for you ! Your last year experience indicates that you lost a week of booking during the highest peak season ? Therefore, switch to full week bookings with changeover on Saturday (or Sunday). If guests want to stay in your accommodation, they will a...

Sam V told " I used to advertise we could accommodate an extra guest on a z-bed " Therefore, if the forthcoming guests got this information when they decided to book your accommodation, I think that you should accept and charge them with the extra-bed. In future, do not advertise any more...
