The first thing I noticed was the printed map they sent with our confirmation, marking every walk and the nearest pub, which my husband and I found very helpful. We had booked a cottage near Keswick for a week in October and the arrangements were clear throughout. The key safe code worked first time and the owners had left us some local jam, which was a kind touch. I would happily book with them…

I raised it with them and it took four days to get a reply. They did offer a partial refund eventually, but the whole thing left a sour taste after a long drive.
Read moreI had been comparing with booking the hotel myself and this package ended up cheaper once I added up train tickets and transfers separately. As a first time customer I was a bit nervous about the bundle, but the confirmation came through straight away and the info pack was clear. The Cornwall cottage was in the right village and the host was waiting for us. Good value for a family of four.

We used their cottage package for our anniversary in the Peak District. The booking was simple and the cottage matched the photos. Our only gripe was that the parking instructions came through the day before and were a bit vague, so we spent twenty minutes circling the village. Otherwise the stay was lovely and we'd go back.
A pleasant few days in Llandudno. The hotel was comfortable and the staff were very polite. I would have liked the car parking arrangements to be made clearer when we booked, as we had to ask on arrival and it was a bit of a faff. Otherwise a good experience.
We picked the Highland lodge after looking at a couple of other operators, mainly because the photos and the map of the area looked more useful. The booking form was clear and the host sent directions the week before. Only minor issue was the heating took a while to warm up on the first night, but it was sorted by morning.
Needed a cheap getaway for the kids half term and they had a good deal on a Lake District lodge. The price was the main reason I went with them, and it was about 15 percent under the other sites. The confirmation email took a day to arrive, which made me nervous, but everything was in order when we got there.
I was after a cheap weekend in Brighton and booked the room only option, which was the one I wanted. The price was a little higher than the same room on a comparison site, but the flexible cancellation made up for it. Check in was quick and the room was clean.
