Lay My Hat

Thank you for replying Wallypott. Wow, lot on your hands and all that but amazing you for handling it all! I saw the PIMS programme but I thought it would only work for 1 'unit' - I'll go back and check it out again. Is your 6-column calendar with PIMS? If not, how did you get it? Or is it 'just' a ...

Hello, I know that this has cropped up in the past but I can't find a recent answer.. Now that we are 'taking care' of around 14 holiday cottages, it would be really useful to find some sort of software where I could input each new booking that a cottage gets and then see all arrivals and departures...

Since leaving France 2 years ago (where we still own our gite), I have started up a small (but expanding!) cleaning / management business for holiday cottages near Brecon and Hay-on-Wye, mid Wales. Our website is www.chambers-maids-brecon.com. You can also see some nice reviews on our yellow pages l...

Lots of large holiday cottages round here (Brecon) advertise with group accommodation and do really well - I'm not sure how well French ones do though. Plus the website owner lives near here and seems to be very well thought of - if that helps?!

Bookings for our gite (sleeps 14) have been terrible! For the first time in 6 years, July has stood empty until a few days ago. We only booked it because we halved our prices to attract smaller groups - we ended up getting a 2-week booking through the discount code on the Holiday Lettings sale (took...

Nearly fainted today because I've had 2 enquiries for the 9-16 September! The first enquirer booked, so I was wondering if anyone had availability that I could let the 2nd people know about. They want somewhere: - In Limousin - That has a minimum of 1 bedroom! - in a village near commerces - with UK...

Feeling for you too, Zoot. What an awful year for some of us! For the last 6 years, I have had the whole summer booked up but I now have the whole of July free. The only thing I feel I can do is to drop my prices (which I have done) as well. Hang in there and maybe you'll get a last-minute French bo...

After moving to Wales over a year ago from Limousin, we are finally selling our gite, which we still owned, in the same village. It's sort of a shame because it's doing well with wonderful managers but we're looking to invest the sale revenue in a 'holiday project' closer to our new home. It really ...

I just wanted to add quickly that I found this thread really interesting - I've been moaning about the lack of bookings this year for ages but it's given me the kick up the **** to re-write my stale website, sort out the photos and to spend more time on replies to enquiries. I think it's far too eas...

Hello! I think I've 'done' everyone, I'm Anna, by the way.

Doh - didn't realise you had to do it from your personal page - I shall relike everything now!

Me neither!

I had made a 'person' page (i.e. you have to make friends first!) before but have also just made a 'like' business page: https://www.facebook.com/VacancesVertesLesBellesGiteEnLimousin?ref=tn_tnmn I'll see which does better. I've liked all the posts before, would be great if someone likes mine too! T...

I'd like to say sorry for my spelling mistakes!

That's funny, I just go into my google account, fill in all the sections of the advert. They then say they need verification of the address, after a coupel of weeks send a postcard to said business address, with a code on it. I go back to my google account, fill in the code of the business I want to...
