Thank you all for the comments and suggestions. They’ve been a big help in putting things in perspective and giving us confidence that we’ve done things right. Well, things did come in 3’s... got a call this evening to say the leak was back. I went back up with wine and sponge cake in hand (had them...

Gah...Now the broadband is on the blink. Plusnet have confirmed it's an issue for BT Openreach and the local green box... so really outside of our control.. But being a Friday afternoon, unlikely to be rectified before Mon or Tues, after they have gone home. Stuff does go wrong and things like this ...

Thanks folks
I’ll go with the bottle idea
I think it’s just a confidence thing with it being the first booking.
In our mind it’s a disaster but in reality it’s just one of those unforeseen things and we’ve fixed it


Thanks for the support - it really helps

First guests, first night... and we have a leak!!

Just as we are thinking everything was ship shape, the guests had arrived and handover had gone well... After a year of scrapping woodchip off walls and renovating... At 2130 last night just after we had said “well, that was a lot of hard work but it’s some achievement...” we got a phone call. Leak ...

Mattress topper sizes for zip & link

Hi folks
With zip & link (6ft x 6ft 3 / 180 x 190), what size toppers have you used when both singles are joined together?
Am seeing plenty of 180 x 200, but not the 190's
Fear is the 10cm length difference will create a pronounceced overhang.
Can anybody offer any advice?
thanks again

Thanks so much folks Went for HCB in the end Didn't think we'd have them until first week in January with Christmas, but I had a good chat with them over the phone... I work in manufacturing so asked a few bits about their supply chain and location etc. Curiosity more than validating how the beds wo...

Zip and Link suppliers - experience of Mattison vs HCB?

Hi folks
Totally confused with bed and pricing options.
Heading towards 1000 pocket sprung, which hotel contract beds and Mattisons both offer.
Anybody have any experience of both companies?
Are both offerings much the same?
Thanks
Yours etc

Hi folks Just wanted to pop in and say Hello before I started posting in other parts of the forum. You'll see from my profile that there aren't many details there. That's because we've only recently decided to (finally) get off the fence and take a punt after many years. Good thing is, for the most ...
