My only technical problem was when I tried clicking on the flag for the French version.  It did not work - I use Firefox.  So I tried it in IE7 and got a Word document. Maybe it would be better for those looking for a French version if the Word document (explaining that the French version is under construction) were a web page French?

Using Firefox, clicking on the French flag opens a word processor document.

Yes, same version.  Not sure why.  Possibly depends on your security settings.

I wouldn't worry - not your problem.  Barbel Bob may want to look at it, though.

Just a few comments:

Rooms - they look really nice but I always think hanging rails really let them down and remind people that they are (a) not in a private home and (b) not in a hotel.  I would look out for some cheap wardrobes from depot ventes that you could paint white to match everything else, or just as easily, build your own, very small wardrobes in the corner of the room (which is what the OH made me do).

Breakfast - I bet if others are offering full English they're charging a lot more than you.  It's very expensive to produce well and on your prices you don't have much room for manouevre.

Which brings me to prices - WAY TOO CHEAP!  You should be charging at least 50 euros all year for a double and at least 80 for a family room.  I can only presume this is a sideline and you have another income.  B&B is very hard work and you are not going to be reaping many rewards with your prices and offering cooked breakfasts.

Otherwise, the website itself looks great!

Perhaps the price is the norm for the area ?

Hi Oscar,

Thanks for the comments......we thought about wardrobes but went for the hanging rails due to space and money.......we may add in the future???  I always found that i have never bothered unpacking when staying in a B & B though the longest we have stayed is for the night so that may be the reason...we have just hung the clothes for the following morning up.

We are not in a touristy town and all the attractions that the Dordogne has to offer are quite far away so that is the reason the room prices are low....I wish we could charge more Big Smile [:D] but the competition in the town dictates our prices.

Thanks again

Julie
