Looks good - I want to stay there next time in the UK! Lots of good pics. Connection to Multimap is a good idea but maybe would have been simpler to do your own map? Only the bottom navlink (Bookings) rollover colour effect worked for me - using Mozilla 1.5 on Win XP. Not sure about the celtic font - doesn't quite say Cotswolds to me - but thats just my opinion. Liked it - good stuff.

nice design, i agree with SkyRocket about the font, but i think you would have difficultly getting a font which reminded me of cotswolds (i am from the uk, but i can't picture a typical cotswolds font - maybe something from the 'arts and crafts' period, just a thought)

the roll overs did work for me (firefox 0.9.2) however, i would recommend preloading any rollover effects as even though the delay was only slight (about 0.5s on a 600kbps) i noticed it

the file size of the images, especially the big one across the top, under 15kb would be best.

and last point (because i don't want to sound negative, i thought it was nicely designed , much better than my design), modernising the out of date code, especially as it is a commercial site should be a major priority.

I would have gone for one of those antique quill pen handwriting fonts to get an olde wolde feel but not too cliched. Something like Schooner Script or maybe Emily Austin. The hand writing would give the page a more personal/intimate feel which would suit a B&B.
