Lay My Hat

I think that's very good and they should understand. I was able to explain to my neighbour and they changed their name with no fuss afterall they don't want any confusion either. Good Luck!

Yes, it could have been a lot worse!

Hi, I haven't been here for a while and just read some of the comments. Thank you all so much for taking the time to respond. There's some useful info you've given me and I'm grateful for each and every suggestion. To let you know what happened, I rang the owner and let him know that I wasn't happy ...

I ask on the booking form which beds they want to use, they can just tick boxes. Some couples do sleep in separate rooms which is fine. I do this because if I make up all beds, a double & 2 singles, if they use the double the singles can get sat upon, or cases stored on them so they get creased ...

The beach was wet!!!

Yes seriously!

Yes that's why I've done nothing yet. They are assumptions so I have to research thoroughly before letting them know my dissatisfaction with the situation.

Oh wow a lot been going on here since I last looked! I haven't done anything yet! I agree that the inland Rev, etc probably haven't been informed. The owner of the cottage on the other side of mine was going to let it out but discovered there was no tax relief. I don't understand how that works beca...

I can't imagine it being worthwhile financially if one isn't dealing with it oneself - is it? I know they want it to pay and expect a profit. There are unforeseen problems too such as damages you'd never imagine can happen, or maybe I've just been unlucky.

Thanks for the replies and opinions which were all very helpful. As someone said I could act upon it by the "passing off" law. I haven't named my cottage officially as a postal address and thinking about it I don't particularly want too. I only named it from the address because mine was th...

Thanks, you have a similar situation and acted properly by calling yours something different! it is upsetting as they do know about mine. They've owned theirs about the same length of time letting it out as a permanent rental, only now changing to a holiday rental.

It's next door so even when people do a google map search they'll see the name in the right location! They are also undercutting me, don't know if that's deliberate or not but they aren't doing themselves a favour. Theirs is slightly smaller than mine but people won't know that until they get here. ...

I own a cottage I've let out for 10 years. Another cottage has opened this year and they've given it the same name as mine! It is causing confusion for potential guests who see it being advertised on a holiday site then Google it and find mine which has a website, on Google maps etc, which I manage ...
