Customer feedback
We guarantee that all our feedback is genuine and can only be submitted by people who have booked through our websites.
Jim Hughes, August 2010: Overall it was a great time and the accommodation was really good. The only suggestion I could make would be to supply a few spare pillows for the older members of the party.
Many thanks
Jim
Richard Selby, August 2010: We enjoyed our stay, but would have appreciated a briefing / info sheet at the start of the stay about some of the quirkier aspects of the house. E.g. the burglar alarm that goes off if you leave the kitchen door open; the on/off switch for the cooker hidden behind the microwave.
Was it just me, but I found the 'WARNING - THEFT ALERT - LOCK EVERYTHING ' sign in the kitchen somewhat unsettling, given the broken window locks.
A few more kitchen utensils, eg a potato peeler would have been good too.
Mr Richard J Graham, July 2010: Perfect for our family needs for a short stay - many thanks. The house was very clean and tidy.
Taymans Jonathan, February 2010: It was perfect, we had place enough for the family.
The children are asking to come back
