The purpose of the Open Day was to introduce ourselves to the Looe Community as the Proud New Owners of our Looe Bed and Breakfast and to showcase what we offer to our Guests and how we have changed the B and B in terms of decor and in the services we offer. It also gave us the opportunity to invite friends and family to come and have a look around too.
There were quite a few preparations that took place in the lead up to our Open Day - mainly getting it know that we were holding it! So I made up some flyers and literally went knocking on doors along St Martins Road to introduce myself. Dad and I also did a trawl of Looe town and Harbour, going into all the shops and cafes to let them know what we were about and to advertise the fact that we really want to be part of the Looe Community. Everyone in the town was so friendly; one lady even said 'If there's a B and B in Looe that can serve a decent cup of tea I'm there!'.
We also tried a bit of social media to advertise our event - twitter, facebook and a few emails here and there. And then of course we had to ensure there was plenty of cake to go around, and recruited some excellant helpers to give us a hand with all the washing up!!
The day came and we couldn't of asked for worse weather, which was such a shame as we were worred it may stop people from wanting to venture out.
However it didn't!! We had our first visitor just after 9am, a Councillor from Looe, and after a slow start after that, the house soon filled up and was bursting at the seems with families, couples and generally interested people.
We had visitors from local business, schools, Cornwall Council, and many more - and everyone seemed happy with the ample tea, coffee and cake!!
Everyone had the grand tour and had brilliant feedback to give us. We really couldn't of asked for much better.
I would just like to give a mention to everyone that came to our Open Day - Thank You for coming and taking a look at our Bed and Breakfast in Looe.
And Thank you to all those who helped us on the day too - your support was invaluable.
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and would be happy to recommend our Looe B and B - Dovers House.
