Thank the LORD for Advanced Taxis. Seriously…read more I was at a gorgeous wedding on a beautiful October day...at Capheaton Hall. For those of you not in the Northumberland know, it is beautiful -- but also, quite remote. At least a 30 minute coach ride from Hexham. After many hours of partying (with many hours remaining) I was feeling the extreme need to get back to the hotel for some rest. With the coach not set to leave for another 4 hours, I was in a bit of a jam. Luckily I had bookmarked Kevin D's review for Advanced Taxis before I departed our hotel in Hexham...just in case! First off, they were absolutely so friendly. We called around 745pm for a taxi, and they arrived (texting and calling on their way) by 830pm. The driver was super courteous, friendly and engaged my husband in a conversation about the native wildlife. I learned that badgers really can mangle your car due to their hard skulls (and that they often walk away unharmed!)...and also that the trip from Capheaton Hall to Hexham is quite windy and daredevlish at night! Our driver handled it like a pro and knew exactly how to get us back to the Beaumont in good shape. The trip cost around 50 quid, not cheap -- but definitely worth it. They do take cards (even paypal!), but I'm sure cash is preferred. Our driver kindly stopped off at the Barclay's in Hexham for us to use the cash point. So if you are out in the middle of nowhere Northumberland -- Advanced Taxis will get you back where you need to go, in a jif. So glad I had them in my phone!

While my original booking became untenable due to a car service in London missing a connection with me, Martin was very helpful in getting me booked with another taxi and then came through when it was time to leave the island (which is tricky due to tides and a causeway). KUDOS to Martin and West End Cabs, my highest compliments!

At the end of the castle tour, my sister became extremely unwell and we called Martin back to pick us up. At the time, we thought he would just take us back to the bus station. However, he agreed he would take us all the way back to Edinburgh (and he hauled a$$)!! He went out of his way to help us and we greatly appreciate him! He literally was a God send for us that day. I don't think any other cab driver would have done that. THAT will forever be a day we won't forget from our vacation!
