From the Manor written

Our hotel opens in a month's time, with a C course followed by a C++ course in the first week we're running, and a MySQL course followed by a Python course in the second week. And rather than the gentle opening we expected, we're going to hit the ground running; we're getting fully booked already.
It turns out that this is an opportune time for us to be opening accommodation. For the first time I can recall, a delegate on the current course, staying locally at a hotel we've often used with success but is now under new ownership, decided to move to another location after one night. Basic facilities were missing / not working / dangerous, and he found it difficult to sleep because of the noise. Giving that place a score of 1, we'll be aiming to provide a score of 100 at Well House Manor, and we'll expect our clients to tell us if we slip below 75. Forms provided, and we'll ask too!
But isn't it a bit daft me being up at "The Manor" a month early? Not really; I'm getting into practise, and we've got so many deliveries and workmen arriving it's an excellent chance to catch up with them and guide the work along. In fact, a lorry load of window shutter expected first thing has just arrived; I had better go help get them unloaded into goods inwards.
