Thanks again, much appreciated feedback! Totally agree with the photos comments, we don't live near the B&B and the lease is only going through this week so we have been relying on pics from the old websites, facebook, etc, hence them being of different quality and sizes. We plan to get decent ones (with the toilets seats down!) in the next few days, just wanted something rather than nothing on the web! must figure out how to link the attractions too, take the hassle out of it for prospective guests! the no cash rule...i'm not sure...we'd be working on sucha small scale that I think paying for a merchant account or terminal plus commission would just eat into our profits...and we don't really aim at business people, the town is all tourists, we don't even have wifi
there are plenty of fancy hotels in town that we cant compete with on facilities so we just target ourselves purely at tourists...who i don't think would mind paying cash...i hope!
To Ian and Irene, thank you also! the phone number is like England alright, but even if you ring 00353.... from ireland, it just drops the numbers automatically, it works everywhere like but thanks. See I have a godaddy package and didnt pay extra for widgets so I'm stuck with a link...might put a photo of the map in maybe, as well as the link...hmmm.
The breakfasts being extra, we aren't doing it to attract publicity for being cheaper then catching peopel out, we just feel like at least we are offering something cheaper if you would like to opt for it, if you would like b&b it is 40eu, which is still alot lower than most of our competition, I just know personally, sometimes i would rather stay in bed instead of dragging myself up just for breakfast because it's paid for. I don't want guests to think we are trying to hide costs and rip them off, I would just like to be able to offer something very budget friendly if that's what they are looking for. and the €7? in most of Ireland, you pay 6.95 for a mini full irish (paradox?
) and a full is normally 9.95 :O considering how much it will cost to keep the Irish in supply of tea and soda bread, I think 7 is reasonably fair - nice big portions!!
Do most of you charge on departure?? We would like to, but as there is a separate entrance to the guest rooms, we feel we might get ripped off?? We have a paypal account but we can't take money from their cards after they leave can we? we would get done for scamming?? I would rather take it on departure (tippies
) but it would break my heart if we got ripped off
think i'd tear up my lease and pack my bags
haha.
the coding part? i might sound stupid but i genuinely know nothing of coding other than what i've seen on The Social Network :O my errors, do they affect it's to users?? or what do they mean? is it ok to regular folk, and do only people who know about code notice it or does it affect all guests on my site? Ignorance is bliss perhaps??
We're gone mad and ordered 5000 business cards, have fliers and the while shabang ready to go now! also considering hosting foreign students, any of ye tried it? thanks for the kind messages!
