We have a couple of holiday cottages and the guests frequently try and use the Wireless but I tell them to take a hike generally.

Any experience out there?

i think internet access is no almost expected ok people can use their mobile phones but there is still sometimes a need for wired / wireless internet.
However you may want to look in to content filtering or at leasd have an 
acceptable use policy,  or a policy which make the person responsible 
for paying you for the use of the holiday home responsible for the 
users,   that gets round people moaning at you because people were 
looking at inappropriate material or what if they decide to use your 
connection to download movies of file sharing,  it could end up with YOU 
being in court,  so if you can show that movie x was downloaded from isp 
y in home z and at that time family a were in there, it may prove it was 
not you,
this topic is contraversial freedom vs censorship but i guess you need 
to cover your back.
