Re re-booking cottages - I've heard that there was a new guy at Astin's who was taking bookings during Folk Week on a first come first served basis and was unaware that existing bookers (no, I don't mean Johnny...) were supposed to have first claim. The person I heard from has managed to get his booking back, because he contacted the owner who told Astin's he would no longer use them unless they reversed their decision to let it to someone new.

I've already re-booked my B&B for next year!
