I dunno.
Regular price is £100, but I don't know whether it changes if you're attending for a markedly shorter time.

That seems probably too much if it's £100 for three nights and you're staying one night. I'd prefer to pay slightly more if I have to |

Insight into how much I worry about everything: I also have a worry in my head that if we offer particularly good discounts then people will start shortening their participation, to the point where the overall price has to go up, which may prevent some people from coming at all. I also hate asking people for money  £70? £75? £65? Generate a random number between 60 and 80 and pay it into my account

I understand what you're saying, but if you take a bed for one night it's a bed that no-one else can have for the whole weekend (unless the occupant is feeling especially friendly). It's a tricky one to price, certainly. |

Ah yeah. Always forget about that. Jem and I stayed at another non-BeEx cottage event the weekend before last and that place had fibre broadband and a 50 metre indoor heated pool If it wasn't completely non-central I'd suggest it for Cotta9e.

OK, so it's not Ikea furniture or anything, but it does really just look like a slightly bigger version of "our" Cottage. The pool and sauna were very nice though, even if I was basically the only person there that didn't strip completely starkers every night while using it.
