3 totally different beds on offer.

It's been a most interesting day.... young Tom my technical genius, came with me on a few house visits. He's very much a package holiday type of guy, and dealing with my website at such close quarters, I thought it might be good for him to get to see one or two of the accommodation providers we show on my website.
So as we need to do some updating to the Bagtor Manor website, and I need some fresh photos for the Chagford Accommodation holiday leaflet that I produce, he came along today as chief camera case carrier.
Tom's point of view is .... why go on holiday if you can't guarantee the sunshine, or get out on the snow ? (and get piste). He thinks that every holiday worth taking begins and ends at the airport.

And to be honest he didn't quite know what to expect from today. But after seeing the impressive four poster bed in place at Bagtor, in a room where famous playwright John Ford was born in 1586, and then the totally contrasting contempory style at our next port of call, an up to

the minute self catering unit that sleeps 10 and has a pool, right here on the Moor, followed by a

quick nip into one of our local hostelries, The Globe in Chagford (above) to check out one of their rooms, I think I gave him something to think about. This was a wide variety of choices and just as I thought, he being young, the one he favoured was the modern holiday let.

I pointed out to him, that at this time of year a party of 10 could rent it for under £100 each for the week, and in fact as we came away a family party was arriving to do just that as a surprise birthday party for 2 very much older guests who like to swim. The couple arriving were under the illusion that their family had booked the place for them for the week as a generous gift, but what they didn't know was that just as soon as they had settled in, 8 more of the family would turn up with champagne and cake..... What a great idea. How lovely for them all to be together in this very well appointed holiday home. Plenty of room for them in the pool which comes complete with a swimming wave at the push of a switch.
Ok, the price for the barn in the Summer is two and a half thousand, but set against 10 people going abroad, this is still a good price to pay for a quality let.
Tom and I will be building a website for this 5 star self catering pad in the next couple of weeks.

I'll alert you when to take a look.... Both the barn and website will be worth looking at.

You've got to admit, I do have a pleasant job.

Cheers chums !
