Which new extras make for more bookings?
In the otherwise good feedback for a large cottage for a Christmas stay was a telling remark:
"if there was a second TV, the children could have used their Wii."
Which new extras are worth it to get more bookings? We recommend WiFi and flat screen TVs but where do you stop?

It was a group of nine people. The idea that grownups could look at the TV programme whilst the children could do something else could have added something extra to their stay.
I suspect that is what they have at home and what happens frequently at Christmas time. On the other hand, all these extras go on adding up the costs.

hot tubs
Hi, I find our hot tub is a big pull! Also people love gadgets so we try to add new ones often, like a Wii, Bose, Mood Lighting and considering 3D TVs!

don't supposed for one moment that it makes for extra bookings (although helps with the recommendations, so maybe?), but as I grow lot of my own veg, when I'm planting up lettuces, I do a separate tub of the 'pick and come again' variety for outside our Barn door so our guests can help themselves through the summer. It's very easy, costs nothing (always too many seeds in a packet) and I just give them some of the spare cucumbers and tomatoes from the greenhouse that need using anyway. Would only work for on-site owners though.
We sleep 10 and have 2 portable TV/DVD players as well as the big main one - lots of families have commented on how useful this is for the kids to watch their own movies, and they're not expensive. Not just for the kids either - finding one film that 9 people want to watch is not always easy and it's nice for the adults to have the option of watching a film in their room too.
I love the veg idea!
