TripAdvisor's Gone Mad!

Sometimes I look at Wydemeet's reviews on TripAdvisor, and I feel like crying.

One after the other after the other.  They are so touching. Every time some new guests arrive I get butterflies and think to myself, "They are going to be disappointed; they are going to be disappointed.  I can never live up to what it says on TripAdvisor."

So far, well. phew!  Everyone seems very happy.  More than happy.  Astonishingly happy!  I am soooo chuffed! But still constantly nervous too.

Anyhow, I've just had this brainwave.  All the internet dating sites seem so rubbish that here is another public 'portal', if that's the correct 'now' word.  So I just thought I would put in a little mention of my search for Mr Right on TripAdvisor! How cheeky is that?! I bet they censor it.  Anyway - we'll see - I've just done it this minute!

But, in the meantime, much more seriously and significantly, my lovely, lovely, lovely guests' enthusiasm has meant that, despite only being open for less than a year, and now only having two bedrooms, so by definition having limited numbers of guests who could have written anything, we have risen to the grand position of Number 8 out of 183 Dartmoor B&Bs, and we're still rising!! There isn't any real reason why we couldn't hit the Number 2 slot!  We will never beat the Apple Tree in Tavistock though.  They've got over 200 rave reviews, whereas we've only got 37.  The only negative comment they've ever had is that the car parking is a bit tight.

My latest wheeze is to make a hair appointment with the lady who runs it, and have a chinwag with her and pick her brains, while she gives me a trim.  She's also a hairdresser, apparently, and only in her thirties.  Respect! How Does She Do It?!
