But the guests are still coming from the Netherlands, France, UK, and Germany. What might help restaurants and cafés is to drop off a few leaflets or business cards at all the hotels, B&B’s, and guest houses. Right now we have to make our own lists, so when guests ask where to eat it’s a case of us having to rely on other guests feedback as we haven’t tried everywhere ourselves. Sure people can Google things, but they prefer a more personal recommendation.
