We love children ... but our hotel is not going to be their scene

"What's your cheapest double room. Can you put a cot in there? How big are your family rooms". Oh dear - we're business accommodation and not a family hotel, and potential guests who are on the phone to us asking these questions wouldn't be happy with us, and would save money staying elsewhere. But how to say in a positive manner - "Look - we cater for the business visitor ...".
I don't expect I'll come up with a good and easy answer ... but I did see these two signs as we were touring around today and both shed some light on the "with little ones" issue.

For business visitors - visitors who want to be able to check in early, have plenty of desk space at which to work, a quiet environment, a healthy breakfast, a large TV to relax in front of, en suite facilities, and internet access - we ARE (well - I hesitate to use the word "cheap") good value. £80.00 per night .. inclusive of unlimited Internet Access, inclusive of breakfast compares very well to a Premier Travel Inn - at 69 pounds, plus 7.50 for the breakfast + 9 for the Internet. And at Well House Manor, you'll not be tripping over other people's children, nor feeling alone in the restaurant when everyone else is taking in their "2 for 1" food deal.
