Welcome…
The Guest Company provides free marketing advice for bed and breakfast, guest house and hotel owners.

My name is Derek Pennycook and I own and run The Torbay Lodge Guest House in Dumfries , South West Scotland and am in the process of researching, planning and implementing a new website for the Torbay Lodge. I have just started work on a new bed and breakfast in Dumfries called Glenaldor House and am also promoting another bed and breakfast in Dumfries as a great alternative to a cheap hotel in Dumfries. I am also researching the benefits of promotional videos for a bed and breakfast in Lockerbie.
I also develop and promote other accommodation websites and I will be happy to share any useful information along the way
Eventually, the guest company will provide products and services for accommodation providers but will always also offer free marketing advice.
You can follow me on Twitter or sign up for my newsletters (sign up below) for more free help on increasing your occupancy rate.
