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.
When I go on holiday I don't expect wireless internet, sure there are wireless hot spots in the area (usually at stupidly expensive rates), otherwise I tether from my mobile.
Some people just want to get away from things and <crazy idea> not use the Internet as they're on holiday </crazy idea> :-)
I'd say if you're really worried about it, just don't provide Internet access, or as Gordon suggested, put another separate line and separate internet connection in. Maybe also consult a solicitor and get some sort of Internet Usage agreement written up so that they assume responsibility for their actions.
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,
LOL, I didn't read this bit until after writing about an acceptable usage policy. :-)
this topic is contraversial freedom vs censorship but i guess you need to cover your back.
Yep, thinking about it, you can get BT OpenZone hotspots, maybe do something like this as you can sell hotspot cards and make even more profit...
