mascamps.com Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 We've had a bit of a run of group bookings for the coming months vs none last year (mostly around 10 people for about 5 days).Is that a theme for everyone this year, or is it just us?

Is that a theme for everyone this year, or is it just us? Arnold[/quote]We get them but you have to remember Arnold, the groups seek out places that can take the numbers. We are allowed the maximum number of 15 but very few chambre d'hôtes can manage that many, plus for that number, if it is not for a marriage, then many times the groups seek out places that they can eat at as well.Over the years the best months we have found for groups are May, June, Sept and October and often on or around Nov 1st for Toussaint.

mascamps.com Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 Looks like we're on the group booking circuit then. So far we've groups for May, June and September. Quite profitable looking too.Incidently, it just struck me that the Chaos at the Castle people (who are registered as a CdH) ran a wedding. Is there some dispensation from the powers that people to go over 15 for weddings and suchlike? Arnold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Not a chance, 15 it is and 15 it stays at !!You need a big place for weddings, well if you want to ensure good money for an awful lot of hard work anyway !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le val charente Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Yes we have been very lucky in our first few months to have had so many group bookings, normally for just one night though - already some locals have booked the whole hotel for their wedding guests - we can take up to 22 comfortably.val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
