Although I'm not sure if that's the domain it will stay on.

Lovely site. Real pleasure to browse through..

I particularly liked:
  • - Bulleted list in Accomodation page
    - Double column text, which makes each line shorter and thus easier to read.
    - Good quality, good sized photos with artistic border.
    - Panoramic picture sets (but see below)
Personally didn't like:
  • - Indented paragraph starts (matter of taste ?)
    - Animated picture changes (but then I find all animations distracting)
I wonder about:
  • - Headlining with the price. This found my eye before anything else.
    - Why you do not have a price table ? If you headline with a range, it needs some sort of clarification at least.
    - aaah, just worked out how to see availability and pricing. Very cool ! but maybe too clever ? It took quite a few clicks, whereas a simple static table may be easier and quicker to "browse". Relegate the cool date picker to the actual booking/enquiry process.

Hi,

Yes, it would be nice to be able to look through the area photos at my leisure, and be told what it is I am looking at.

It would also be useful to know how far away the gite is from some of the local attractions, such as Guincamp, Bourbiac and coastal resorts.

Nice site, two little things, straighten up the kitchen pic and make the horizon level in the sea shot. Apart from that, great. Also seesions should read `sessions`, and there is an extra comma after `such as`. (you did ask..!)

Hi Nick and congratulations on your lovely gite.

Comments as follows (hope they're helpful!):

1. Keep the domain name. It should hit all the right buttons.

2. Your home page gives all the relevant info but pictures speak more than words and the home page is very wordy. Get more pictures on your home page.

3. Likewise on your accommodation page, the pictures are hidden at the bottom ... and they're superb pictures. I would suggest having some words and then a picture (or a picture and then some words/your "story".

Hope this helps. Have a good season.
