Warwick,
Welcome to Outfront also, and I agree with everything Jaybee has said with regard to images, shortening the first page (only page I looked at, but hey I have enough comments to make on that one page).
You've done really well for a beginner as you say, not a sign of anything copied and pasted from MS word or anything!
Look at that beautiful banner image you have, that looks like such a warm and cosy place to stay, dine and have a drink or two. Look at the image again and notice firstly that if it was completely clear you'd be able to read the sign out front, do what Jaybee says and make that photo along with the rest higher quality. Look at the banner image again, yes again, and look at the images from inside the place, the bar, the dining room, the food, the rooms. Those colours in these photos arre telling you what colour scheme to make this site, i.e. some of the colours in the photos, and you have it on a white background with a sky blue navigation and yellow flashy thing which makes the site look cheap.
Use the colours in your banner image, the grey of the roof, the darker shades of brown and orange for page background and navigation areas to make the website, not just the place look all warm and cosy.
Put the photos of local attractions and the one of the hosts on completely different pages, those colours don't match the colours you want to create the ambience of warm and cosy.
Change the background image from the speckled background to a plain deep colour and use a different font like Arial or Verdana, anyway, I'm getting carried away.
Please do these things, or at least experiment with my suggestions. I'd love to see this site with those colour schemes.
In fact, put your banner image URL into this site
http://www.degraeve.com/color-palette/
and use the colours that it suggests.
Best Wishes
Nicole

Not sure if this was mentioned or not, but your "rates" page is left-aligned. Unlike the other pages which are centered
