It's not yet Midday on Sunday here at Well House Manor ... and yet in the last twelve hours, we have checked in our final Saturday night arrivals (01:35 ;-) ) ... prepared breakfast for ten, and had those ten people eat and check out. The breakfast room has been cleared, and the used linen taken our of all five rooms. I do fancy a quick sit-down on that seat in the lovely sunlight, but we've got to get ready to check new guests in to every single room and I couldn't leave Rachel to do it all ...
For guests coming to stay, by contrast, you should find that we're an oasis of peace. "Lovely Stay. Great room & breakfast and very friendly team. Thanks" says a new entry in our guest book in the last couple of hours.
