London to The Lakes: Our Journey
Buying a Bed & Breakfast in the Lake District

 

October Newsletter

This month, we have some extra special and exciting news…  We’ve exchanged contracts on the house and will collect the keys on Monday!

 

I'm very pleased to announce that we're open to bookings at the new B&B!! :-)  I'm a bit anxious about this, because as it stands, we still need to renovate all the bathrooms, kitchen, re-do the carpets, decorate, get furniture etc etc.  But it will be done!  We already have all the quotes and the work will start imminently.

 

And there's plenty of time for us to do all that, because we're not opening until February 10th 2011.  I've opened the bookings from February until end of May 2011.  Just until we get our full website up and running, then we'll open up all future dates.  It's currently in the process of being built.  But I wanted to give you the chance to book now if you want to come and stay!

 

And of course we've got an extra special discount as you’ve been following our journey on www.lakesblog.weebly.com so please read on!

 

So you need some info... well, firstly we're based in Bowness-on-Windermere, on Beechwood Close, very near the Biskey Howe viewpoint.  We have two letting rooms.  Room 1 is the super-king which sleeps up to 4 adults or 2 adults 3 children.  It has a super-king double bed, a single bed and a double sofa bed (and a view of the Lake).

 

Room 2 is a double which sleeps up to 3 adults or 2 adults 2 children.  It has a double bed and a double sofa bed.  Both rooms are en-suite and will have brand new bathrooms and will be newly decorated, with new carpets, new blinds and new furniture.

 

More information and pricing is on the temporary link below (until the new website is up and running), with the ability to book online.

 

Please note that the prices you see on the site are the FULL RATE prices.  As a Lakesblog newsletter recipient you will receive a £5 per room per night discount in Winter and a £10 per room per night discount in Summer for all bookings made in 2011.  Please book in the normal way and then email me from the address you signed up to this newsletter with and I will make the deduction on your account.  I will be introducing voucher codes at some point in the future, but for now, this is the way!

 

Also, as an opening special, we're offering a FURTHER £5 per room per night discount for the first 20 bookings, so what are you waiting for!??!  Get clicking!

If you're booking for a single night only, please email or phone me to book as the system won't deduct your special discount on a single night stay.

 

Oh and yeah, please let me know if there are any problems with the booking process etc. :)

 

And now, back to measuring up, organising builders, permits, accountants, carpets etc.

 

Can’t wait to see you
