For a temporary fix, please just use one line. The following works wel for me:

Forden, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 8NB

Does this look OK to you or are addresses in your county properly formatted like this?

Secondly, for the main titles throughout the site e.g. page names, can I have an alternative colour to orange or do I need to but the custom design upgrade to allow this?

Yes purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing is required.

In this case, I recommend unchecking the map in the widget, as the address will still be linked to Google Maps.

Google Maps works off of latitude and longitude. When an address is entered, the get the latitude and longitude and display the marker at that point.

For 31st January Road, Fontainhas Panjim, Goa: we are getting a latitude and longitude, but it's apparently the wrong hotel.

For 31st January Road, Fontainhas, Panjim, Goa 403001, India: Google is giving us a latitude of 0 and a longitude of 0.

To be perfectly honest, this appears to be an issue with Google's Map data, as the two addresses are exactly the same. The latter just clarifies a country and postal code, so they shouldn't be two different hotels, much less one in the ocean and the other on land.

Unfortunately, the core issue is the data that we're receiving from Google, and there really isn't anything that we can do about that.

The address of my hotel is 31st January Road, Fontainhas, Panjim 403001.

Although the addresses seem to be the same, the markers are different.

My hotel is the Mitaroy Goa marker that you see.
