Top Tip – When you first start be prepared to waste food as you will find it hard to judge how much to buy and put out etc but believe me this will dramatically reduce as you go along as you will get a feel for how much and how many.

Top Tip – keep on good terms with your tourist information as they will send people to places they trust the owners of and they know that the people won’t come back with complaints. I know people who get no trade from the TIC because they can’t be trusted not to leave the guests unhappy. The TIC are only people and they will go with who they know so make sure that when they phone you are polite and efficient however harried you feel. Some people even go so far as bringing gifts at Christmas etc to their TIC but it is up to you.
