What happens is I take a booking for 2 people get the cleaning ,bed changing etc calculated in my head maybe offer a little freebie like free hot tub or a bottle of champers because of the under occupancy then they send me a little "courtesy" note to tell me that there will be an additonal 4 adults!
Although my cottages are advertised as 4/6 there is one bathroom and 2 bedrooms and I only ever accept bookings for more than 4 adults for a couple of nights , never for a full week although I am happy for a family of 5 or 6 to book for a week. If the bookers had told me at the start there would be 5 or 6 adults i would not have taken the booking. There is just not enough space for 6 adults to be comfortable for a week, in my opinion it would compromise their enjoyment of the holiday.
It just annoys me so much taht I seem to have no choice in accepting the additional guests - in fact emails are never phrased as giving me the choice and one week before they arrive I am hardly going to cancel their booking.
Maybe I could change my Tcs ?? After emailing it all down it seems a bit churlish to complain, but it all extra work, more bedding to launder etc
Maybe I am just an old grump - too much rain, too many children I feel like the old woman in the shoe sometimes - pity you can't spank them anymore
