Country Living August 2005
Go to the Country Living Website B&B Know-How: How to make money from your spare room by Amy Willcock (Ebury Press, £5.99). This pocket-sized guide covers every aspect of running a bed and breakfast. Divided into eight chapters, B&B Know-How describes the vital ingredients for a successful business, treating topics as diverse as legal advice to cooking the 'perfect' full English breakfast. Its author is highly qualified as the hands-on owner of The George Hotel on the Isle of Wight and a successful Aga cookery writer. The text is peppered with practical advice (and Aga tips), from recommending her favourite Northumberland kipper supplier to advice on common-sense public relations. A good starting point for anyone entering the B&B business. RUTH CHANDLER |
