Rigsby's Guest House

At this time of economic gloom and negativity, it's good to see a positive improvement in the town. Rigsby's Guest House opens next week in St.Andrew Street and appears to be a tasteful conversion of this 18th Century House. Along with the other (fairly recent) conversions, like Hertford House, it deserves to do well. With great views of Hertford Castle at the rear of the property, if successful, hopefully it will bring a few more tourists into the town and provide a small (but much needed) boost to the local economy.

[url]http://www.hertford-guesthouse.co.uk/[/url] I wish them well - although I must confess that when I read the name my first thought was of the old TV series 'Rising Damp' [:)]

What a great website, I certainly will recommend Rigsby's to friends visiting the area. I found the missing apostrophe Arty - in the 'Our Rooms' section of their website.

This is the house owned by Rupert Grint. I'm not sure if he or his family have any involvement with the business though.

Just took a look, and it looks great. Reasonable prices too I thought. Hopefully it will do well and bring some more tourists to our lovely town.

There are also two superflous capital letters, one missing capital and a spelling mistake that I have spotted so far. [^] Add two further missing capitals, a missing hyphen and 'cancellation' mis-spelled twice.

Rumour has it Mr Grint is also behind the purchase of the two premises opposite the theatre, those that were The Bouquet and Twisted Rio.

Good luck to Matt & Jen - hopefully it will be a well deserved success; Matt I know has worked his socks off & it looks damn good. Leo, yes the name is deliberate. I am sure they will thank you for your detailed feedback on the website. Please join Dr Jones at his table in the Horse later; we would love to see a meeting of minds......

Looks beautiful and I would recommend it but I am confused about how much it costs to stay in the loft room if there is two of you? Website says: The cost to stay in our loft room is £105 for two or more ocupancy or £95 with two or less occupancy

No idea, I turned the TV over (not literally) to watch some other rubbish.
