A comfortable bed: it’s the thing that most disappoints in places I stop. Being 6` 4” a standard size double is pretty crap if the Mrs is with me. Looks a nice place you have there, good luck with theventure
Good point. Being tall has both advantages and drawbacks; we may have to lie diagonally. Oddly enough the cheap crappy chain hotels like Travelodge usually have very comfortable beds. It's the nice, friendly, family run places which don't.
So when you open and when can I book? Oh someone mentioned coffee and thats important. Nescafe espresso milk in first
On the table - clean cutlery! - Im a bit ocd in restaurants / hotels always seem to wipe the cutlery on the napkin!!! White Napkin and table cloth Cup and saucer or mug for tea/coffee, selection of mini jams/butter for toast, salt and pepper, - Hendersons Relish (its a yorkshire thing!!!!) On the plate..... choice of Continental Brekkie, croissants, fruit, yoghurt, cereal, boiled egg and toast soldiers!!! - Full English - bacon, sausage, beans, tomatoes (tinned or grilled) choice of either poached, scrambled or fried egg NO BLACK PUDDING YUK!!!! toast selection of jams Optional warm brekkie ie beans on toast, egg on toast, Depends if you are serving breaky to order or just doing a buffet breakfast? You could always do buffet style contenential and then made to order warm brekkie! Fresh Juice & tea and coffee.
I think the one thing that would be very beneficial considering that you are opening your marketing to a lot of bikers is CCTV - especially if there are a few bikers staying - just a security measure, im not suggesting that it is a bad area but it is a deterant! Unless of course the area where the bikes are is fairly secure??
We plan to open next spring. Probably for Easter. We dont have a booking system yet, but i'll put a post up when we are ready. It would be great to see you.
Might be cheaper to put a lockable gate on the front of the drive than installing CCTV, possibly install a few ground anchors for the paranoid ( sorry but I just can't get my head around these people who think that if they leave their bike unattended for more than a fartsbreath someone in a striped t-shirt and carrying a bag of swag is going to have it away and on eBay before first light).
But we might be able to go in March! The drying room, the fresh milk in our rooms, local sausages, perhaps you can arrange a forum post CV19 reunion?
