That's
the clientele we attract. 99.99% of our guests are readers.
What wonderful titles have graced
our bedside tables.
And to honour
you, we will give you a kente cloth bookmark upon your departure from Four
Villages Inn.

every time you open a book and see our bookmark, you'll think of FOUR VILLAGES

On prior
arrangement, they will pick you up at the airport. And should you want
to travel to Kumasi by the very economical and reliable State Transport
Corporation bus service, they buy your advance ticket and you pay them
on receipt of the ticket. And they will drop you off
at the bus station which is located
nearby. |
| Of course,
when you arrive at Kumasi - either by bus or airplane, FOUR VILLAGES INN
will be there to meet you. |

|
| Ghana
Telcom has a wonderful option. Buy a PREPAID CARD for C75,000 - that's
about US$8.00 and you can talk for approximately 15 minutes. The card is
activated for you on the first time using it, and you have 30 days to use
your units. |
 |
| They
are available everywhere, and with the pin number, you can use it from
the comfort of your hotel room. |

Bob Geldof in Africa * July
7, 2005
|
| It's
hot off the press - the introduction is dated June, 2005 - and FOUR VILLAGES
INN has this wonderful book for you to read when you sit out on our expansive
verandah overlooking a spectacular garden. Or perhaps you'd just like to
browse through the book looking at the fascinating pictures taken by Geldof
on his travels in Africa during the last 30 years. |
|
| The topic
of aid to Africa is a hot topic given the LIVE 8 concerts held around the
world and the meeting of the G8 leaders in Scotland. Should you choose
Four Villages Inn, we'd love to hear your opinions on the subject. |

Thornton International, the fifth largest audit firm in the world, wrote
in the guest book after a three night stay at FOUR VILLAGES INN.

in Kumasi, Mr. Salter conducted a feasibility study for a Lybian/Arab Bank
consortium looking into the possibility of purchasing Kumasi's largest
hotel property,the City Hotel, a former state owned and run 169 room estabilishment
that closed decades ago.

thing small in this story is FOUR VILLAGES INN, where our motto is "Small
is beautiful". |

December 18, 2004

At the
end of February, the Scotts said a sad farewell to the Lauterbach family
from Denmark. Karen Lauterbach was in Ghana conducting research on Ghanaian
churches with a Danish connection. She was accompanied by her husband Thomas
and one and a half year old Johanis.
Here's
what they wrote in our guest book: "Fantastic rooms, delicious breakfast,
great hospitability, and a nice relaxing atmosphere-even after almost five
weeks. Thanks for making our family feel at home during our stay. See you." |
