She should be showing more about the surrounding area but I think the problem is, as pp who know the area well have said, it’s not that well located (for the price she’s asking). So she’s just trading on the expensive renovation interiors and hoping it’ll do the job and people will ignore the other important stuff.I can't belive that you would seriously think that a large number of people outwith the school holidays would want to go on holiday there at that price?! I mean surely some analysis of the followers and actually trying to work out conversion of likes and engagement to actually purchasing the products advertised would have shown this and this is a much larger outlay? One thing I would say is that I get no feel whatsoever for the area from the Instagram page. I don't want to see people stroking light switches. What are the restaurants and pubs like? The walk to the beach? Can we see what supermarkets are there? What is the beach like? What facilities are near by? Let's see the parking in situ? Why is there nothing practical?
Why - if you lived in Leeds -would you want to drive 5.5 hours to a holiday home?! You can't got for the weekend. We did a huge renovation similar to their new house. It took 18 months to do the whole thing and we had to be there constantly to supervise builders who were working 6 or 7 days a week. When we went away for holidays we went abroad to escape and our parents had to come to supervise. There is no freaking way I would have wanted to do a 11 hour round trip to another house that woukd have issues to sort out. It's madness. An albatross to worry about whilst doing another renovation. So whilst they are managing all of that, they have to try and deal with constant complaints and queries about mugs and curfew in the garden and the cleaning not being QUITE perfect for the £6k a week guests?! Why would your you think that was a sensible thing to do - particularly at a time when the economy is not exactly stable.
I agree re holiday home and distance from your own home in terms of travel time and usage. Though they don’t work a 9-5, she doesn’t anyway, so in theory could go down for all of the school holidays if they wanted. They aren’t limited to weekends or whatever A/L their manager is prepared to allow them.
I do think she’s going to need to rethink those prices though. They are crackers for the position and conditions imposed on guests
