Example of host word
"Welcome to Gîte des Pommiers. We restored this house to share the calm of the valley and the good addresses we love. In this guide you will find the operation of the cottage, the nearby shops and our ideas of walking. We wish you a very nice stay. »
A few personal sentences are enough. The rest of the booklet must remain practical and easy to browse.
Information specific to rural accommodation
Specify the points that sometimes surprise guests: narrow road, gate, septic tank, specific sorting, wood stove, limited mobile network or nearby animals. Add photos when access or equipment can be misunderstood.
Page WelloGuest for lodgings presents an organization adapted to these uses.
Make you want to discover the territory
Do not turn the booklet into a directory. Select a few recommendations: Saturday's market, a family hike, a producer, a restaurant for an opportunity and a solution in case of rain.
A personal and concrete advice has more value than a long list copied from a map.
