Payment problems

We’re sorry for those of you who have experienced problems making bookings in the last few days. This has been due to an issue with Paypal, our payment processor. The good news is that a solution now seems close at hand, and we hope to be back up and running later today.

Thanks for your patience!

And here’s the 1,600th room, Thanks Edith!

And now, as promised, is your T.S. Eliot quotation:

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”
-Little Gidding, T.S.Eliot

Ta-da!
