Lay My Hat

Well thank you people. I'm sure you're aware that this multi-letting by remote control is very new to me so your input is extremely valuable. The mattress protectors will be new - I'm buying all new bed linen before my place goes live. I've already established that they will be in the wash each time...

Here's a little update - and another question for everyone. I've signed up with Cumbrian Cottages, and the 'takeover' will take plce on 22nd December next. My let is expected to go live immediately after Christmas but there may be a first let over Christmas and/or New Year. The other aspect is just ...

Greeting, fellow UK folk. This is a here we go again. After two pitiful years (all that walked in through the door last year was £5,600), I'm about to execute Plan B. My gaffe is a two-bed detached former stable jut outside Kendal in Cumbria. It has an ensuite shower room downstairs and and an ensui...

Sorry to ask this. But what is it with the Brits and carpeted bathrooms? Mildew, mould and many other types of harmful bacteria can build up as a result of prolonged moisture exposure in a bathroom. Introducing ones self is normal. Unless you live off site. If you have no partition between yourself...

Thank you for your comments. The essence of this review is that it was becoming personal and has ony two elements of truth in it. Tea and coffeee were provided, the window lock key was on the kitchen windowsill, the vacuum cleaner was in the living room (the one with the new carpet) and the bedroom ...

Hello all, I've just had three less than welcome guests in my Lake District cottage. The first party was OK but in keeping with Cumbrian Cottage's rules I had two LED array-type torches, one for each bed. Or I used to have. Come departure day, the double bedroom torch was gone. So rather than £11 ar...

Hello all, I'm seeking a little clarification, or maybe someone can help. Post-divorce, I've retained my home in The Lake District. I've arranged it so I can holiday let the ground floor. Last season, I started things off in April and sold 70-odd nights, via Holiday Lettings from Tripadvisor. I disa...

Missed that one, I'll see to it!

Thanks.

Just done it, changing the 'work in progress', for which read, 'lounge in a mess!'

I'm also working on some text/caption overlaps on the 'inside and out' page. Not sure if it's the same in all browsers.

I have guests staying with us in June who want to stay in the Lake District immediately afterwards. They were thinking of staying around Grasmere but they're open to all options. There are 4 of them (2 adults and 2 children) but they'll consider something larger... They want to know if I have any r...

Hello all, Well, davhill is back, walking wounded from a punishing divorce. Nevertheless, I kept my house (she got the previous holiday let) and I've opened up the ground floor of the house for letting. The new website isn't quite finished inasmuch as I have to finish off the local attractions/place...

Thank you very much for your reply, Wendy.This is an ongoing research project and is not being too fruitful so far. However, I'll follow up on the link you sent.

Thanks again,

David

Just musing here. Is running a holiday let (to live off and living locally to run it) in California...

(a) Permissible?
(b) Potentially Viable?
(c) Worthwhile?

My wife and I are UK-based at present but are researching a possible move. My wife has US citizenship.

Thanks,

David

You probably don't need to use management. Just configure each router with its own username and password. The signal areas will overlap but the customer can only access the signal for which he has the login info.

If any problems arise, try consulting your WIFi provider re router config.

I recently bought the CoPilot sat nav application for my Dell Streak 5 (Android OS). It's very good (£24.99 for UK & Ireland) and works very well. It's also available for the eyephone and you can upgrade to Europe mapping too.

Thanks Phil, Three in favour, one against...interesting. The fact is, the boiler in Valley View is one that, on website reviews, got a very low score. The same type of boiler, in my home, has been very troublesome and I felt that some sort of breakdown cover was a necessity. This is especially so as...
