One reason for building Agentsmart was to share my knowledge of Hampshire, the tourist attractions and especially Bed and Breakfast that I ran with my Wife in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s in Owslebury.

I have not stayed in many B&B’s in England, one in particular I remember in Devon where it was so hot that the husband cooking the breakfast only had his apron on, not a pretty sight first thing in the morning!
I could however fill many pages recounting the many funny episodes we encountered in our four years at Owslebury, but there is one that would be hard to top.
We had three guests booked in that were going to a wedding nearby, two men a lady, and we said don’t worry how late you come back, we wont lock the door, the property was a converted barn on a semi-active farm. We went to bed not thinking my eldest son who had gone to the pub might forget and lock-up! Next morning I noticed the lady combing her hair in the car, strange I thought as we provided mirrors etc in their room, well my son had locked them out and not wanting to wake us up, they had found a barn with straw in and slept soundly till morning. Very embarrassed we said have this one on us, but they said they could dine out on this for months, and insisted on paying.
