a serious question,

[Guest markbrick1]

The wee cottages sound nice...

Personaly,..I would have to agree with Whin,..and in answer to your question regarding the viability of such a venture,..in my opinion,...it will only end in tears.....

Why don't you just invite a few good lads down to your place for a bit of sport and good fun,...then,.THEY will be obliged and duty bound to return your kind hospitality.

 

HOWEVER,..put me and the Wife down for a romantic weekend,...and feck the rabbits,...just locate me a nearby Indian Restaurant,.and a good Off-Licence...that will do nicely...

 

Best of luck to you and yours,.cheers,.CHALKWARREN...

nice to see you still got youre sence of humour phil,mark

it would depend on what the person wanted to do ... some may only want to fish so go and get some sea fishing trip prices and under cut them ... some may only want a days ferreting and if so will need a guide to show them the best places at each time of year so what is your price for being out and working all day ... same as lamping really ... you will need to set up runs and ferret hutches and would have to leave your own dogs and ferrets at home as people paying will want to watch their own animals work ... some may want a full weekend package fishing lamping and ferreting so you will have to work out a price package for that ... then there is the insurance side of things as you will be taking these people out so you will need cover for that ... you obviously know how much you charge for the holiday lets and that will have to go on top .... the bottom line is you or whoever will be out with these people either all day or all night and will have to make sure they get the game they are after ... you may even have to supply the transport as most people will turn up in the family car so you will need to add in the fuel costs .... it could be a good earner if the costs are worked out carefully and is packaged and advertised correctly .........

i couldnt agree more,but at the moment we rent all the holiday lets out on a full time basis,my son in law has passed this by me a couple of times and ive shunned it,but what else do i do i cant see me laying bricks again it pisses me of i spend all my time with the dogs,and on this computer,i wouldnt want to charge are include sea fishin trips as its not my forte i go out and enjoy that and a slight swell iam sick plus i love the snorkling bit,but what would be a good catch rate are runing rate how many rabbits would one want to lamp?????????are ferret,i would also insist more on the single person are family not groups of blokes,i rent the lets out at the moment from £525 per month

Mark, i look after some lovely houses and they are rented out for around £1250 a week. One of the owners is into country persuits and he's discussed this with me in the past about renting the house out to country people to do some shooting, fishing etc.

The house was let out New Years week 2006 to a group of buisness people from london and they trashed the place causing £100's worth of damage, we prefer now to have families letting the houses out.

I think there is a market out there for country sports holidays you just need to market it right.
