| Nineveh Farm Bed and Breakfast, near Chipping Campden 'Cotswolds.Info has consistently outperformed other web sites in introducing visitors to my own web site - I can attribute over 30% of enquiries to Cotswolds.Info this month (June) and this figure is typical for the year.' Mike Yardley - July 2009 Woodlands Guest House Dear Richard, I should have sent you this e-mail weeks ago but I have been so busy, people are only too quick these days to complain but would like to say a big thank you, business at Woodlands has increased substantially since advertising on Cotswold Info web site. Amanda Kreisler - June 2009 A Happy Surfer I would just like to thank you for an incredibly easy site to operate and for the wealth of information. It has to be one of the best tourist information sites I have used. Lechartier - April 2009 Staddlestones B&B, Chipping Campden I am happy to advertise with Cotswold.Info because its is always at the top of the listings on Google for B&B's in Chipping Campden, and therefore potential guests looking for accommodation do not have to look too far. Being 3rd on the listings hopefully gives my business a good chance of being noticed and therefore contacted. Within our first year of doing B&B we have been busy throughout the whole year - Thank you. Pauline Kirton - October 2008 The Inn at Fossebridge - Cotswold Hotel, Chedworth Just a short note to say how delighted we are with Cotswold.Info website and the prospective business it has brought to us. The number of hits we have received from your efforts has been truly amazing and we just wanted to thank you for helping us re-establish this wonderful old inn to its former glory. Robin Thompson CMPIR, Marketing Consultant, July 2008. Pennylands Bed and Breakfast, Broadway Just a short note to say thank you for your help and support during our first year at Pennylands and our first year of many advertising with Cotswolds Info. It is refreshing to write in support of a genuine service and this is what I feel Cotswolds Info is……a service to the Cotswolds and those who visit the area. Thank you once again - Chris and Lindsay, June 2008 Hawthorn House, Witney I'd just like to say "thank you" for 2007. I puchased Hawthorn House in Feb 2007 and had never run a B&B before. The previous owners were advertising with sites that, when I looked into them were not user friendly and too complicated to use. I therefore stopped advertising with the 4 sites at that time. I looked into Cotswolds Info and as a "new user" of the internet, I found this to be very easy to use and I could find my way around very quickly. Also, by using a password I can update my "hot deals" immediately which I often do. I can also check out how many "hits" I have had and how many e-mails. Some advetising sites don't do this, nor can you accurately get feedback from callers, as to where they found your number etc. I listened to friends and family and people who were not in the "trade" and I shouldn't have done. Not ALL advertising works, but I am glad to say that Cotswolds Info DOES work. I shall be linking my web-site to Cotswolds.info also as it saves me the job of putting all tourist info on my site as well as me having to find out about different places to visit etc. I have always found Richard and his colleagues very helpful indeed and would recommend anyone in our area to advertise with Cotswolds.Info They even put me in touch with someone who designed my web-site and who runs her own B&B therefore she knew what sorts of ideas work. Again the service has been fantastic and I will be renewing my subscription again this year. Thank you - Alison Smallman, January 2008 Richard Pinder and Cotswolds.info Buscot Manor, Faringdon, Oxfordshire, opened in Autumn 2006, a Five star Gold Award assessed new business, with no established client base, having missed the summer 'season', with a limited advertising budget and a long winter ahead. Due to the time of the year, we were unable to engage any advertising / marketing support from Visit Britain, Cotswold or Vale until 2007. We contacted Richard Pinder at Cotswold.Info and we were not only offered immediate advertising access on his site, but he offered expert advice and a generous start-up deal which, at his suggestion, trialled inclusion in different 'sections' of Cotswold.info and from which we were able to monitor take up and advise future cost effective marketing. Twelve months on, we have been extremely disappointed with the service and take-up from the 'official' tourist sites (which are by no means cheap). However, through Cotswolds.Info we have enjoyed from the outset, a constant take-up of guests not only from the UK, but from across Europe, America, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong etc. Business has been beyond our expectations. We are writing this (voluntarily and unpaid ..... so perhaps we are not such good business people?) because we believe that Richard Pinder offers an exceptional site with:- * exceptional potential customer accessIf our advertising budget limited us to only one site, it would be Cotswolds.info If you provide accommodation in the Cotswolds, quite simply, our experience and advice is that you should use this site. Edward & Patricia Armsden Buscot Manor 27 Sept. 2007 The Coach House B&B, France Lynch, Stroud, Gloucestershire Dear Cotwolds info, I have Canadian guests staying both teachers, who think your website was the best and most transparent and user friendly one they used…….Congratulations…….and they got me through it and are pleased with the result!! Thanks so much, Libby Rolls - July 2007 Nolands Farm at Oxhill, Warwickshire I have more hits via your website than any of the others that I advertise with. I am so pleased I am on your pages. Thanks, Sue - April 2007 Corsham Field Farmhouse Your website improves all the time. The topics are so varied and comprehensive and your enthusiasm communicates really well. We consult Cotswolds.Info for information regarding the Cotswolds area, excursions and local news for our own use as well as providing information for our guests. The number of bookings generated through your website far surpasses any of our other advertisers. Thank you so much. Julie Anne and Robert - Corsham Field Farmhouse - April 2007 Stow Cottages Bob and I would like to thank you so much for the fantastic website you produced for our cottages, it really is the best thing that could of happened for us. All our cottages have been fully booked this year thanks to you. Merry Christmas and a healthy new year. Yvonne Johnstone, December 2006 Old Farm B&B, Dorn Nr Moreton-in-Marsh I have received a lot of guests via your site - loads of campers too (too many in fact - we may need to take that off next year as we only have 10 pitches and we got fed up of turning people away!). Sarah Righton, December 2006 Hillcrest Holiday Cottage nr Minchinhampton Having only started Holiday letting last year, I, misguidedly went through a large holiday company to advertise my property.They took a large commission. I then found Cotswolds.info and thought I'd try give it a go... Advert and website later, I am now receiving so many booking enquiries that I am now confident to go with Cotswolds.info alone. But we could do with more properties for holiday letting in south Cotswolds- I have had to turn away loads of visitors! Tricia Barnett, website - www.hillcrest-cottage.co.uk The Dial House Hotel - Bourton-on-the-Water 'My wife and I took over The Dial House in September 2001. At the time 30% of our enquiries came from the Internet. In the three years that we have been here this has increased to the current percentage of 85% and is still climbing. Cotswold.info provides us with a large percentage of those enquiries. As more and more people start to use the internet and with the increase in broadband usage this can only get better. Guidebooks have got a lot of work to do to continue to be an attractive form of advertising.' Adrian Campbell-Howard Proprietor - The Dial House Hotel, Bourton-on-the-Water www.dialhousehotel.com Website Visitor "Would just like to say how helpful I found your website, it is the only one I have come across with a vast range of attractions to see in the area, and has meant I can plan an action packed holiday in the area. Thank You" The Eight Bells Inn - Chipping Campden "As an accommodation provider in Chipping Campden The Eight Bells Inn relies heavily on word of mouth recommendations, guide book affiliations and the Internet. We spent a lot of time on our website and now find over 75% of our business comes via the Internet. We are constantly bombarded with new Cotswold Website Providers wanting our business but have stayed only with Cotswolds Info. as we have found them an excellent provider with at least two enquiries per week generated via them. We intend to subscribe to Cotswold Info. for the foreseeable future." Julie & Neil Hargreaves Crown and Trumpet Inn - Broadway "I find that using the Cotswold.info website allows myself to help, both my regular and potential clients, to keep up to date with the latest pictures, current events and information that will help them, hopefully, to decide to book either a room at The Crown & Trumpet Inn or try one of our Broadway Holiday Cottages". Andrew Scott - Proprietor Laverton Hill House - Village of Laverton "We started Laverton Hill House B+B in January 2004, and since our start up, we have found the business generated by Cotswold.info to be very worthwhile. We are very pleased with the service that we receive, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them." Edward Hammond - Owner Badgers Hall Tea Rooms and B&B - Chipping Campden Paul and I Purchased Badgers Hall in 1996 to open a Traditional Tea Rooms with the addition of Bed & Breakfast accommodation. Whilst we were happy with the way business was growing we were always curious as to why other establishments seemed to do better or by the time we received enquires for our B&B we would be a last resort rather than a first choice The Internet has always fascinated me. Its all very well having an excellent product but if no one can find you what’s the point? Cotswolds.Info has changed all that – our enquires and bookings now well exceed our expectations not only for Bed & Breakfast but also for those Tea Shop lovers who thought their quest for a traditional afternoon tea was lost. How small business succeeded in the past with the hope that they had chosen the right guide book must have been a real lottery? The Internet is such great value for money. Karen Pinfold proprietor Badgers Hall www.badgershall.com Burford House Hotel - Burford "The internet now accounts for around 60% of our reservations. Cotswold.Info is a genuinely productive site for us and I am sure that this is due to the quality of the information on it, the presentation of this information and the fact that it is user friendly. At a time when large conglomerate type web-sites seem to be dominating the internet more and more it is good for we small independent hotels that Cotswold.Info is there." Simon Henty Burford House www.burfordhouse.co.uk Broad Oak Cottages - Stow-on-the-Wold "It is a sign of an increasing trend that most of our bookings now come via the Internet, of which the majority book through our Cotswolds Info Link to the Cotswolds Guide. Clearer digital photos have replaced the old fashioned brochure and information is always up-to-date. It is a most efficient and productive way to advertise and give guests exactly the kind of cottage which suits them". Mary Wilson Owner - Broad Oak Cottages The Laurels Bed and Breakfast - Woodstock "I wouldn't normally bother to give a testimonial for something I`m paying for but on this occasion I`m happy to do so due to the exceptionally high standard of Cotswolds.Info. How often are you able to talk to the owner or managing director of a company - not often would be most peoples answer.Well at Cotswolds.Info it`s different you can and that`s called customer service a commodity sadly missing almost everywhere these day`s. Since joining Cotswolds.Info there has been a significant increase in online inquiries and bookings. I have no hesitation in recommending other cotswold accommodation providers to put themselves at the front also for greater business exposure by joining Cotswolds.Info now". Nikki Lloyd The Laurels Hensington Rd Woodstock Oxfordshire OX20 1JL email:laurelsfirst@aol.com Ninevah Farm Bed and Breakfast "We are very pleased with the increased amount of Guests you are sending to our Farm B&B - more than twice we got via the Smoothhound website". Mike Yardley South Hill Farmhouse, Stow-on-the-Wold You will be pleased to know that I have just run our webstats for www.southhill.co.uk for the last 365 days and cotswolds.info came top of the referring sites, even above Google, very good work! I hope you can do the same for the new site. Siân & Mark Cassie - March 2005 http://www.southhill.co.uk Cotswolds.info gives us more than twice as much traffic to our holiday cottage website as its nearest rival........ Siân & Mark Cassie - May 2006 http://www.southhill.co.uk |
