FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hotel Reports Busiest Season Yet After TV Make-Over
The Fieldhead Hotelin Looe has experienced its busiest summer season to date, after an appearance earlier this year on Channel 5's ‘The Hotel Inspector'.
Owners Julian and Gill Peck have succeeded in revamping their 15-bedroom hotel, which enjoys stunning views across Looe Bay, while sticking to their claim to be a ‘traditional' hotel with very high service standards.
The combined approach has resulted in an extremely busy period between May and September, with the hotel's loyal regulars joined by a wave of new guests keen to experience The Fieldhead Hotel at its best.
Occupancy rates are up 35% on the same period last year, indicating a dramatic upsurge in business which looks set to continue.
Beyond the summer rush, bookings have been coming in thick and fast for the rest of the year, obliging Julian and Gill to implement a Privileged Booking Scheme for long-standing regulars.
As Julian explained; "We want to thank our guests who come back year after year, and who stuck with us during the quieter times. We can't let those guests loose out now that we are so busy."
The scheme allows regulars to book their favourite rooms and dates years in advance, without the need for a deposit until nearer the time.
The influx in bookings came after hotel guru Alex Polizzi visited for the popular Channel 5 show, revealing that the hotel had all the makings of a great destination.
Although Alex and Julian had some rocky moments, since filming Julian has taken on board the majority of The Hotel Inspector's suggestions, redecorating bedrooms and communal areas, simplifying the booking system and updating the website.
The revamp includes five Superior Rooms with private balconies, king-size beds, modern décor and comfy robes and slippers.
Julian and Gill are confident that the hotel has broadened its appeal as a result of the changes, and feel that an updated website and use of social media has helped them compete with larger hotels.
They also praised Visit Cornwall and Looe Tourism Information Centre for their support and encouragement.
Julian is thrilled to see the hotel so busy after some ‘lean' years, saying; "We have always known that our guests appreciate the attention to detail and personal service they enjoy here at The Fieldhead Hotel. Now that we have modernised other aspects of our offering, more and more people are trying us out and rebooking - it's fantastic!"
