So I have a large property and have been renting it for over 10 years, we sleep 16. My advice you will have to bend to succeed. I rent to stag and hen parties, I warn them we are in a residential area and that the law says no noise after 11pm. If you are worried take a good deposit. I say no parties...

Late Arrival

So I'm wondering how you would handle this. We have a booking where the guests were due to arrive today. On the booking confirmation form, it states they can arrive from 4pm. I then email them about a week before and remind them of this and ask them to let us know if they will arrive later than 4pm....

What would you do?

Hypothetically, lets say you were contacted by a freelance journalist who said that they wanted to write an article on your property. You checked them out on-line and they seemed genuine, although there wasn't a lot to be found out about them other then their website which seemed very professional. ...

Mr. & Mrs. Floyd Hamilton

They are on their honeymoon in Paris however their company in the US are paying for another honeymoon next month and want to send a cheque from the states. Out of six enquiries I've had four now that are scams. If I look on the bright side at least I'm able to be found, but what a waste of time. I'm...

The first one took me a while to catch on, it was only when he wanted money returned to him by Western Union that I got it. The second one sounded funny so I googled the name and sure en...
