“I must say for the last five to six years, every year I get booked out once the race is finished from the previous year, once the date is set for the next year, the rooms get booked for three, four nights. We get good people coming from all over the world to support us and we as BnBs, we really need that. It is lovely to see everybody and their action, the atmosphere the game that everybody is got is lovely.
