For regular bookers: just to say next year is starting to get booked up now, please check ahead if you're thinking of staying in 2027. Also, I'm opening Eve's calendar now because while it's been up for sale for a couple of months there's been no dates whatsoever where it's been empty for viewings 😆😆 I misplanned it. I'm going to open dates up again from Jan-June and make sure any potential buyers are aware.

We've had a very different guest experience so far this year, and I've come to realise that when 3 comment the same about things, we have to action. This weekend: new sofas are going into the lounge and I'm going to empty one kitchen cupboard for guests solely to store their dog food in (as that has been requested).
The net curtains at the back door for privacy got a 👎👎 and they're now in landfill. Replaced by lovely voiles with tie backs.
Dawn now has comfy chairs and tables on the patio where the picnic table was (although I'm not sure what to do with that! It's on the purple slate area for)

We have got "painting the outside" on our to do list, that might have to be done bit by bit as Dawn's fully booked until mid October and those dates are already earmarked for the remaining project of the year - redecorating the lounge. (I say the remaining project already knowing that's probably not true because I'm a sod for suddenly deciding totally unplanned new things)
The lounge hasn't been decorated since 2016. There are a few scratches behind the chairs but other than that it still looks great - but, guests want a change! "freshened" was the word.
I'd love to put Luna Cottage's bedroom paper in as I think it's beautiful but it's too yellow for Dawn - especially as the new sofas are maroon.

If anyone has any ideas about colours/wallpaper I'd love to hear. Bearing in mind that Eve and Luna both have pink and blue lounges, I don't want to copy that, but it does need to be "quirky".

Our stocked up doggy dresser now has doggy towels, as well as throws, poo bags, balls, toys and spare bowls, leads, even some fold flat water bowls you can clip onto your jeans. What else would people like on here? We have a badminton set for guests, tons of games, puzzles, dvds, as well as housing Hemsby Library (in my son's words! 😆)

I've just opened 2027's calendar in case anyone is after specific dates.

A shout out to Dawn's lovely housekeeper, Helene, who goes above and beyond to make Dawn a bit more special than she already is. She's laying scones, jam and a butter pack (clotted cream was too complex as it's only available in 8oz containers now!) out with the teapot ready for guests to have a cup of tea and a sweet, delicious snack when they arrive.
This weekend she has switched the scones for hot cross buns, and she knitted the little jam pot cosies herself ❤️❤️❤️❤️
