Good news for Gite owners and B & B


Recommended Posts

I have just been listening to You and Yours on Radio 4.

The Credit Crunch and a "flying fatigue" brings good news for Northern France. The inquiries for Ferry Travel across the channel are up because more people want to go on holiday nearer to home and suddenly have remembered Northern France. Let's hope it will be a good summer!

Glad to hear it's being confirmed by the ferry companies.  After getting a bit gloomy about next year it then occurred to us that in fact it may boost our business.  If people can't afford US or Far East holidays next year they may decide to do shorter breaks nearer to home.  That's exactly what we did in the early 90s when we couldn't afford a fortnight's holiday - 4 or 5 days in Normandy during off-peak times!  That's how we got to know the area and end up living here.

My brother also confirmed last night that he won't be holidaying in England again next year.  He tried it this year but said he paid £80 a night B&B on average in 4 different B&Bs in Cornwall and Dorset and only one came anywhere near a reasonable standard.
