I just had one asking:
Hi
we are a family from Brazil, we are going in 3 to London in June.
We could make a deal with our budget (400 euros)?
For dates that actually cost £730.
my reply was a terse:
Thank you for your enquiry but no this is not possible.
Hello, can I buy your Ferrari for the price of a Fiat?
I should think so too. I have resigned myself to the fact I won't be taking any more bookings - with few enquiries and those I do get just want cheap accommodation at a knock down price. My cottage is on the market so I don't mind making life easy on myself and having it empty between now and when I sell.Nightowl wrote:I just had one asking:

I do have a few bookings so will continue with those but not take any more after September. Just cannot wait to be out of this business.
"It's a funny old world...." but full of the most amazing people. Sense of humour essential!
I cant remember how many times over the years we have been asked for discounts, extra guests, babies who dont cry dogs who dont bark, only eat half a dinner,
I think that the best thing that happened to us was that the first - ish guests who booked a meal cheeked us down in price as they didnt want starter - pudding etc, but they still ate and drunk everything, so after, we stuck it out and did not discount, never again, and 8 years later we still dont regret that decision.
