Can anyone tell me why my map says I am in the US please? I made sure it said Diss UK when setting up the page! And I can't find anywhere to change it now.

More thanks go to you all - it is very helpful to have fellow holiday let owners reviewing the website. I am still getting on to some high res photos so that is definitely an improvement that will be made soon. My son dabbles in websites and set it up from a basic Wordpress template. I have been the...

About oil - you can belong to an oil cooperative and still ask for a small tanker. If you can't find a cooperative, you can hook into the 'buying weekends' of the bigger suppliers. And make sure you order your winter oil by September to get the summer prices. We moved from all gas in the town to oil...

I'm not sure what you mean by the Great Shaitan. I have used booking.com to rent a place through but not as an owner.

Booking.com

Hi all! I have been looking at booking.com as a possible rental listing site but before I register, I thought I would check with all of you whether anyone uses it, what it generates, how they work etc. it's not immediately obvious on their site!

We decided against getting one - we thought we would wait and see what our guests said and whether we thought we were losing bookings without one. Can't tell you that just yet as we have only just started getting ready to take bookings!!

I am so intrigued about the journal of the teddy bear mascot who lives at the cottage!! Tell me more please?? I think you have been more than patient and generous to your agent so far and I think I would be putting my toe gently up their backside and booting them into a new world - one that doesn't ...

All really helpful thank you! Just the sort of comments I need to keep me on track with the growth of the website. I was going to add a description of the Lodge on the front page last week, because I realised we didn't tell anyone what our offer is but hadn't got round to it. I have only started sho...

Just started! Views please

Hi all, I have just started a website and before I go any further, I would value your views. I am waiting for some higher res photos so the ones on the site will be replaced at some point soon! I feel nervous about sharing so early, but better to get feedback before I go too far, I think! www.greena...

Sandy beaches, you have made my day - when is ikea coming to Norwich?? I can't wait having slogged to both Thurrock and Milton Keynes! I used to live in Essex so it was a short trip, but now I'm in Suffolk so it's at least a four hour round trip to either.

Toiletries and hotel supplies

Hi all, I remember somewhere on here reading a thread about toiletries and linen suppliers but I can't find it! I would like to find something nice to put in our holiday let bathrooms so if anyone has a great supplier, I would love to know! We have taken an inordinate length of time to get our let r...

We have wooden work tops in our own kitchen and I have spilt plenty of stuff on them but never seen a reaction like this! They are only from Wickes so nothing particularly special and we aren't that good at oiling them!! The only places that will stain are areas that have not got much oil left, like...

Paperwork

As a single letting property owner on our own house land, what paperwork would you advise we use with potential users of the property? I want to keep it simple but don't want to miss anything crucial!
