To be honest, there's no need to blush, we all work bloody hard at what we do. It's just so nice to have comments like these made about us and our homes. There's no company cars for us, no pension schemes, or golden handshakes, payrises or cash bonuses for performance. We do this because we're social people who like to laugh, drink, tell stories, play guitar and share what we have. The reward comes when people take the time to write such wonderful stuff in the visitors books. We should be proud of the fact that we're in the unique position of making people happy!
Amen!
Starting on a positive note..
Well said, Crystal.
As for having a guestbook, I regularly have guests say that ours was a factor in booking. Go for it.
It's a blessing to help people enjoy a special vacation together... and it sounds corny... but I think we're all making the world a better, kinder, smaller place, one check-in at a time.

My Russian guests have just left and gave me a bottle of Russian vodka, offered to translate my welcome notes into Russian for me, said they would help out if I ever needed help with other Russian guests and hoped I would come to visit them in St Petesburg.
I think they enjoyed themselves!

No need to go far to shop 'til you drop - just go next door to Chanel. http://rueparadis.monsite.wanadoo.fr/
I haven't posted for a while because our booking season got off to a bit of a late start and I was feeling a bit blue.
However, we're happy now as things have finally taken off with avengence and this thread warmed the cockles so to speak so I thought I'd post the nice comments form our first two sets of guests.
The first lot were from Australia and had lousy weather:
'Great barn and a lovely location here in the valley. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend Labat to anyone visiting the region.' Many thanks also to Sarah and Clive who were always helpful and handy when needed'.
The second lot from the UK:
'By far the best gite we have ever visited. Excellent facilities, very accommodating hosts, wonderful babysitting service! Love the peacock. We will certainly be back.'
Our next one starts a week today so fingers crossed. I'm glad that someone else gets nervous too, I'm always terrified that people won't like it even though we've worked so hard to make it lovely.
