Bookings

Le Petit Dejeuner



 Maison Driscoll is now open. Sounds strange. To think, this time last year we hadn't even set eyes on the house, and now it seems we've been here for ever. All the planning, re-planning, worrying and hoping is all over, (well perhaps not the worrying). The people we now call friends we didn't know existed a year ago, and now I'm not sure how we ever did without them quite frankly.

Karen an the Mairie



 We held a opening soiree on the 17th April and invited everyone we could think of. All our French neighbours, all our ex-pat friends (moral support), the Mairie (grovelling) and the great and the good of the village. We were told the French would never turn down an "apero", and we weren't disappointed. It turned into a very busy evening, and by the time the last guest left we were exhausted. Our French teacher, the lovely, and patient, Angela also came along to help us and apologise on our behalf, for our crap language skills.
But the all the effort did have a positive outcome, as subsequently we have been picking up bookings from people in the village who have relatives and friends visiting but don't have the room to accommodate them.
Although we are by no-means snowed under with reservations as yet, we have been quite encouraged by what we have had. Two weekends, one in June and one in August, we are fully booked, and this coming weekend we have three rooms booked. We also have a couple of other bookings dotted about so it's been a good start.

Maison Driscoll (Furthest Right)

 So now it's just a matter of making the guests feel as welcome as possible in the hope they may come back, or tell their friends about beautiful Brittany and a very nice B&B to see it from. We are doing our best to get our name out there by various methods, "Motorcycle News", "booking.com" etc., all we can do now is wait............easier said than done.
