Your page title is "The Bed and Breakfast Website" - and the name is
travelBed - I guess that Google is seeing the capitalisation and
assuming that it's supposed to be two different words.

I obviously don't know if you've been sandboxed for duplicate content or
something - but it could easily be a lack of in-links (yahoo site
explorer shows _very_ few in-links using the phrase "travelbed" - or at
all to be honest.)

If it was me I might give up on trying to rank organically for
"travelbed" right now, and suffice with a (probably fairly cheap)
Adwords placement for the full word - at least until you know what
conversion rates are and what keywords you really want to optimise.
