She wanted to buy it for a birthday present, the birthday being this week, so as she repeatedly pointed out to me, it was a matter of some urgency.
When I said I could only accept bookings for specific dates with a contract she insisted that the birthday was this week and she could pay straight away but wouldn't be needing a contract obviously (no but I do!)
In my reply to her original request I said that I was an Entreprise Individuelle, not a hotel and that was the first thing she tackled me about, she didn't see why that should affect my decision.
I'm at the amused stage now, but she wins the prize so far.
Since I opened in 2010 I have only had a couple of difficult guests and one of those was "difficult" with his family, not me.
I'm not really geared up for children but have provided cots etc for a few.
This year I seem to be getting bizarre requests, large families who only want one room, cheaper but very warm rooms in the cold weather etc, something does seem to be changing.
