Who are we? A rapidly enlarging group of independent small hotels, B&B and self catering owners who have combined expertise - some old hands, some new to the business with previous career experience in specialist fields.

What can we do? We can offer a source of help and advice for the Industry's little crises.

Why join us? There is one drawback to working at home; you lose that special rewarding interaction with colleagues that keeps you on the ball.

Does this sound like you? If the answer is "yes", we have found the solution. By sharing tips, airing queries, and receiving sympathy in problematic times, we all support each other. If you are not sure of an answer, someone on the forum will almost certainly have already have worked it out for you, because they needed to know too.

And there's more! When it comes to challenging the never ending round of new and often pointless regulations that we have to work to, we can speak with one voice when we ask for a common sense approach. We are growing in numbers and we are fast learning to speak out. We intend to be treated like a representative industry force worthy of being listened to, but we need YOUR help too, the bigger our membership the better we can support each other.

Some of the current Hot Topics on the forum are:
TripAdvisor	Is your business being held to ransom by bad TA reviews? Is TA important to you? See what problems members have encountered and how they have tried to minimize the problems (885 posts)
Google Ranking	In general accommodation businesses know this is important but not what to do about it. A number of members have specialized in this area and can provide guidance on best practice and suitable approaches (500 posts across topics)
Accreditation	Is it worth it? This affects us all whether we are in or out of a scheme. Some members have opted out, others are strong believers. Feelings tend to run high with some wanting the system changed or withdrawn. Others feel it is the only way forward.
Scams	Can you recognize one and how to deal with it? Forum members post to warn others of the scam or advise on validity of suspect e-mails.
