Lay My Hat

Hello Deane and Sue, Thank you so much for your recommendations. As it happened, I contracted Allez Languedoc at the start of the season in May and they work out very well indeed and very professional. Your recommendations of them proved to me to think I have made the right decision. Thanks also for...

Hi all, the info collected below on following site should give you an approx. idea of what term dates are in the uk. This is likely to vary according to each LEA where your potential guests may be coming from... so it is only a guide but I use this to set my rates as most my guests are from the UK (...

Thanks Enid! I was probably lucky this once as it was a French word. I am sure you will either see grammer or spelling mistakes in past and future posts from me....! watch out! Kind regards, irishgreen

Hi Tansy, I know now what you refer to. Les ecluses de Fontserannes just outside Beziers. I have been there a few times first with my parents a few years ago and again recently last year. I had no idea they were called the staircase, but it makes sense as it is quite steep from the first to the last...

:) Hi Tansy, Thanks for your reply. I actually have not made the trip yet by ferry would you believe as we used to take the plane from Dublin to Beauvais and discover France all the way down to Beziers... my husband was setting records from year to year on how long it would take him. There are two r...

[quote="tansy"]You know it would be good to meet others...I was looking the other day at various folk that had joined but not at all active...I think it is Irishgreen I'm thinking of...she on her profile says she is in Beziers..we were there on holiday in May...it would have been good to s...

Hi Jayjan, this is really bad behavious. You may have seen a post where I said that an antique chair disappeared from my house altogether - we assume it was damaged somehow and made it disappear to avoid any questions / deposit taken. I think it all depends if guests are thinking right ie. would the...

Hi Alan, it is Sabine writing. I can see the confusion I may have created putting my name at the end of my post further up. I thought I would use irishgreen as username as people do not find my first name easy (unless they come from France, Germany or Austria) and I usually become a Sabrina or Sabin...

Hi Clexanne, Just to keep you up to date. The guests came back saying they enjoyed the house after the initial bump up and the noise of the village and the heat (I do explain it is a working village and do not proclaim my house has air conditioning but anyhow...). They even went to the point of reco...

Hi Clexanne, A bit late coming back about this subject but was away on holiday in France. We had a very green pool last year too in middle of guests staying at the house. Not a nice situation to be in. Our caretakers blamed the brand of the pool (Desjoyaux too). Anyhow, after talking again ourselves...

Hi Clexane, I have no idea as yet but we or our caretakers did not hear from them... so I hope this is a good sign. I will let you know if/when I get any feedback this week (they left Saturday).

Thanks for checking!

Hi there, thanks for this. It will be very useful to my husband and relations I am taking to France very soon. I usually die of hunger once I get over translating the whole menu of whatever restaurant we decide on...! I am usually asked also where the toilets are whereever we go in France as I speak...

Hi Pete and Sarah, I think like other members a combination works best and leave most options open for potential guests wanting to book your property. We had 3 doubles and a room with two sets of bunk beds. I would also opt for one of the double being king zide if you can (sometimes young children e...

Hi all, My house is on the ''heures creuses'' / ''heures pleines'' EDF system i.e. our water boiler gets heated during the night at a more advantageous rate. As my house can sleep up to 10 people I would immagine the hot water runs out pretty quickly. There is an ''immersion'' system you can flick d...

Hi, :? I always try to offer to be the best help following a booking and many of my future guests use that service by asking me this type of queries: what route would you recommend, what wine would you buy, where could I have my son's birthday party. I always tend to be polite and offer assistance t...
