Highlands John, great booklets. I can see you put a lot of work and thought into them.I'm going to make these available for a limited time only, here are my two info packs in PDF format.
This is the house pack.
This is the things to see and do.
I bind them with a comb, I put a white card front on it which I print and then a sheet of acetate on top to protect it: So they look like this.....

I used streetview to drive up to your inn. Amazing that the Google camera truck drove so far up your driveway! Beautiful setting. No wonder it's popular!

Thank you. Cumulatively, yes, but they've been growing for the past 8 years. Initially they were much smaller, but I've added things as situations occur or I've had ideas. They are very popular with guests and even the tourist board inspector commented on how good they are.Arkansawyer said:Highlands John, great booklets.

They initially started from my not wanting to put notices everywhere, so I created the booklet so I could put everything the guests would need to know in one place. As the things to see and do part grew one year I decided to split it into the two you see.
It's also a great backup device, the information is there if guests don't read it it's not your fault. Someone recently said on ta that they would have liked a hair dryer, not only is there a hair dryer in the draw but the booklet tells you that there is one in the draw. What more can I do.
I would suggest to anyone creating one of these is to resist the temptation to put everything you can think of in it, as a guest I don't think that's useful. I put in things that if I was visiting this area for a couple of days I would want to do, restaurants we like, unusual things.
The documents sit on my computer, if I have an important update I can print the relevant page and change the room folders. Less important changes get included when I do a complete reprint in the winter (also they get tatty). In reality I update individual pages maybe 2 or 3 times a year, the bus timetable is the one I most frequently have to change.
None of our competitors has anything like this, and I'd like to keep it that way which is why I'll delete them off the server after 48 hours.
