When I search on google, or google maps, for holiday cottages *rural location* or *rural location* holiday cottages I get a map with little blue dots.

We recently replaced all our storage heaters. We used a system called Celsia Multizone, designed by AMBromley who are based in Buxton I think. You buy heaters from a few different heater manufacturers who have the hardware preinstalled to work with the Celsia system. You then also buy a remote therm...

I recently went on a hanger amnesty and counted and sorted all our hangers and bought new ones and matched up the old ones and ended up with a perfect 6 hangers per person (most of our cottages are under occupied so usually guests get more than this) in seven units (sleeping about 30 guests in total...

Obviously replace 49 with something related to your apartment, maybe it is 3a or something! I think it makes it more clear...

Aspire you are not totally correct - if a guest makes a reservation request and you haven't yet accepted it, they can cancel it.

My first post, though I have been reading the site for a while now and actually signed up in April last year! We do not have a Visit Britain or AA grading, and I have been wondering about it for a while now so we are reassured with everyone's comments here :) We do have a Quality Cumbria inspection ...
