Ways to Make Your Holiday Cottage Guests Feel Welcome

First impressions count!

Making guests feel expected, welcome and cared for right from the moment they set eyes on your holiday cottage has many benefits:

* Fewer, if any, complaints (any minor transgressions will be overlooked)

* More repeat bookings

* More 5-star reviews and 'word-of-mouth publicity.

Many transgressions will be forgiven or overlooked if guests feel you have worked hard to make them feel at home. Light bulbs will always blow, and spiders will always weave a web or two in the cleanest of cottages, so here are some interesting ways to mitigate their impact.
