Got a horizontal scrollbar by a window of 800x600 (Firefox).
This is caused by a fixed margin (body), when you changed it in eg. "%"
or "em". The page will scale to the browser window of eg. 800x600.

The font size is too small for mine taste. Let the visitor decide what
kind of font-size they like best to read with their browser. So, change
the font-size into "%" or "em" instead of "px".

A lot of redudant font-family on the page. Remove the redudant
font-family and place 1 font-family in the body {...}.

The back to the top link doesn't work right.
Change <a href="#top"> into eg. >a href="#main">

Try to validate your pages with:

Just a few thoughts:

(a) Looks OK except, as someone else has mentioned, the text is too
small and I (as an IE user) need to go into 'accessibility mode' in
order to increase the size of the text in order to read comfortably.

(b) There's a couple of spelling/grammar errors on the first page (and I
assume that this probably applies to the other pages) so a trip through
a spelling/grammar checker is in order.

(c) Ensure that the image map has alt entries on the <area> entries on
all pages (the first page has, but others haven't).

(d) On the bookings pages:
i. Mark up the tables correctly so that Assisstive Technology (AT) users
can navigate them.
ii. Consider additional mark-up for those people that can't see or hear
your colour coding ;-)

(e) I was going to comment on your use of right-justified text, but as
you don't have a flexible page design I guess this isn't going to be an
issue.

(f) Opening a new window: you can't use a 'target' option in your page
reference and expect to validate as 'strict'.

You can either use 'transitional' instead of 'strict' -- or you can use
javascript to set the target and remain 'strict'. Non-js users will see
the next page in the same window.

(g) Reduce (compress) the size of the larger images (photos) -- and put
some 'alternative text' on the thumbnails.

(h) Ensure that the <title></title> entries reflect the contents of the
*page*.

regards.

there is some space above the page
and change the yellow bgcolor it's helping in reading text
the top banner needs to put away the buttons from the address
