List of english B & B owners


Lozzi23

Recommended Posts

We are 20 mins away from Dinard but I am wondering why you want a list ?

Part of me says, possibly a good idea and the other half says why is it needed ?

And no, I don't know of any guide books as such but a look through

certain guide books will show obvious British names for some places.

Google B&B's in Dinard area and I am sure it ought to be fairly

simple to sort out which ones are British run.

Hi, just asked for a list as I wasnt sure if B & B owners were allowed to give their own details out or not, we want to stop with English people as we are looking for a property and we could maybe sit down and chat with them, think we have now found one, just waiting for an email back. Thanks all x

As far as we are concerned, best the Brits like this avoid us, or they

will get the truth about buying here in Brittany, where and what etc

and that might just not suit[:)]

Now I believe you yourself John,  have plans to open a B&B...

A little word of advice and no payment neccessary, don't !!

As far as Lozzie is concerned I hope her 6 numbers came up, if she

plans to buy a house with sufficient rooms to make it pay and still be

near Dinard, as they won't have much change from a few

mill................[;-)]

We had a couple stay with us a while back one of whom (male) said 'You know, I could see us doing this".  The other half (female) had an immediate look of horror.  I thought the latter was a very appropriate reaction. 

I just laughed at the idea that there are more people as dumb as us. [:-))]

Well said, Miki. Many of the posts and posters on this site give the impression that they do not want to hear and refuse to believe any advice/information that does not support their own rose tinted views of France and the French. Perhaps they think that we are fibbing and want to keep la belle France for ourselves - I'm alright Jack, pull up the ladder ?

Blige me, it's Pat. He's staying here in the Garden room this week

Thought he was asking a few too many Q's last night !

I'll blow his cover tonight, you wait and see, crafty postie.

That reminds me, still having trouble with a crossword question last

night "Postman, heavily laden"?.................... Anyone ?

I tell most folks that the very best way to live here, in my mind anyway, is to be retired with sufficient funds to live OK.

Be semi retired with enough funds to get by and do a few little bits and pieces to earn a little extra

Be very rich, at any age and do no work at all

Don't do gîtes or B&B unless they are bonkers or can buy the best place in the bestest area

Do building work as there are bundles of gullible Brits, who will use anyone who speaks English

Do try consultation work because as long as you arrived here before the clients, you just might know more !

Write a book (copy the others as they're all doing it, just change the region)

In the words of a fine but poor comic...and there's more.....................

Main one being, take no notice of me and do exactly what they want, cos that is what they all do anyway [;-)]

(thanks for being the straight man)
