I've moved to Friday changeovers where I can because it's much easier to get tradespeople on a Friday. So for example, new dishwasher delivered and plumbed in, new mattress, repair to shower all done without having the house off the market or paying weekend call out fees. Have also noticed that peop...

Friends of ours have a house with a spiral stair case in their guest apartment. I'm able bodied but hate it because I can see through between the treads. It's near impossible to get a small roller case up and they keep a second vacuum in the room to save getting it up and down. I often rent houses o...

There is a story in Dingle about the Japanese tourists who took a taxi to the far end of the peninsula to go for an 8 hour walk. When the taxi driver got back they said they had not moved for 8 hours because of the giant rats. Further explaination lead to the fact that they had mistaken the sheep dr...

We have used Airbnb for the past 4 years. They have got much worse during this time as have the guests. I really can't see why they are trying to get more people to sign up when they can already no longer service the hosts that are with them. Nothing is quick and easy any more and it is nearly impos...

We have a continual problem with our guests feeding the feral cats which makes the farmer next door angry as he needs them to hunt in his barns. No matter how many notices we put up about feeding the cats, people will do it. This has now made the cats so bold that they will now try and jump up throu...

I've got very firm about turning down Airbnb bookings where people try to add extra people. Just had very cross group because I won't accept 9 plus two children and a baby for a house that sleeps 8 and which is totally unsuitable for small children. Have offered them a larger house but of course the...

We get good results for our eco-cottage through Airbnb. I would also try and get in touch with some of the journalists who write about the outdoors and promote it to them. A blog might also help. Have you thought about trying to get an article into some of the adventure magazines? I think it would a...
