And how can we get it to work for us? I conclude Facebook and Twitter are sites on which to connect with friends and colleagues and to network with new people - its like going to a party. Log on and you are at the party. At parties we talk about our family, our friends and what our listeners would like to hear about.&lt;br /&gt;When I return from holiday I talk about the beauty of the accommodation, the great service, the lovely weather, the wonderful things I did and what I saw. Then they mention it to others - their friends and colleagues - you know you should visit Irish Cottages, etc. etc.!

We stayed in Shamrock Cottage which was absolutely magnificent in every way, the location, views and qualifty of the accommodation is very worthy of its 5 star rating and every little detail has been noted so that it really is home from home. Margaret was wonderful and made us not only feel very welcome (thanks for the lovely hamper and homemade scones) but ensured that we had everything we needed throughout our entire stay. We have stayed in many cottages throughout Britain and Ireland but this was by far one of the best we have ever experienced. We are already planning another visit and will definitely recommed to all our friends and family."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We absolutely LOVED our stay ... houses are spectacular and more importantly they are even better than they appear on your website (if that is possible!). I loved everything about Bluebell Cottage and the spec and cleanliness were excellent. I have to say that Margaret was just fantastic. Her knowledge of everything in the area, the books of information that she puts together, the scones she made for us and her overall positive attitude to everything was great. We will definitely be back and I have already recommended you to lots of people ..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"WONDERFUL vacation - We were delighted with our stay at the Irish Cottages. Beautiful lakeside location, a luxurious cottage, and the warm, welcoming hospitality of the owner and the manager. We were treated to a gift basket upon our arrival, and made to feel at home from the very beginning. The Fermanagh lakelands are a lovely place to explore. When we return, we WILL go back to "our Irish Cottage"."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit &lt;a href="http://www.theirishcottages.com/"&gt;http://www.theirishcottages.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2991223872232380853-88079970821523275?l=irishcottages.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishcottages.blogspot.com/feeds/88079970821523275/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://irishcottages.blogspot.com/2009/05/just-sort-of-experience-you-are-looking.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2991223872232380853/posts/default/88079970821523275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2991223872232380853/posts/default/88079970821523275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishcottages.blogspot.com/2009/05/just-sort-of-experience-you-are-looking.html' title=''/><author><name>Irish Cottage</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12445475760230999648</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F8TH4OAmkeY/ShRGqnQg4aI/AAAAAAAAAAo/v83RjdNmdfs/S220/2008_0920JohnLowry90078+(Medium).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991223872232380853.post-4953080371216899619</id><published>2009-05-21T02:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-28T07:26:04.665-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Win a luxury self-catering break at Irish Cottages</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.theirishcottages.com/"&gt;www.theirishcottages.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F8TH4OAmkeY/ShUbBfkDZLI/AAAAAAAAABI/c2OymlYTwLA/s1600-h/2008_0920JohnLowry90078_(Medium).jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338202645784126642" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F8TH4OAmkeY/ShUbBfkDZLI/AAAAAAAAABI/c2OymlYTwLA/s200/2008_0920JohnLowry90078_(Medium).jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Win a luxury self-catering break at Irish Cottages&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Relax in peace &amp;amp; quiet, Discover the Irish lakelands and Enjoy Fermanagh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prizes:&lt;br /&gt;- 1st Prize - a 5-night break to be taken in November 2009 or February 2010, subject to availability&lt;br /&gt;- 2nd Prize - a 3-night break to be taken in November 2009 or February 2010, subject to availability &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F8TH4OAmkeY/ShUbIf78BkI/AAAAAAAAABQ/LmeRMhCqGmk/s1600-h/13189_Shamrock_Cottage_Sun_Lounge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338202766143391298" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F8TH4OAmkeY/ShUbIf78BkI/AAAAAAAAABQ/LmeRMhCqGmk/s200/13189_Shamrock_Cottage_Sun_Lounge.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Breaks:&lt;br /&gt;- a break for up to 2 adults and 2 children under 16 sharing a cottage.
