When can I stay again? this apartment is absolutely fantastic and a pleasure to stay in. This was…read moremy first visit to the city of Cambridge and this apartment is ideally located near the river Cam to the north of the city so around a 10 minute stroll from the historic centre. Chris the host is so accommodating! This is a self catering apartment and yet on arrival there is bread,cereals,milk and orange juice so that's breakfast coveted. There is also free wifi and a brochure with lots of useful information in about the city. He communicated with me via email/text from the initial booking and was very understanding when I arrived over an hour late to pick up the keys due to signalling difficulties at Peterborough. Everything in the flat is of a high standard from the towels to the bedding. It is also the comfiest bed I've slept in! The size is impressive and way better than you would ever get in a hotel suite. All I can say is this would be my number one choice on return to the city!

However, we were offered an alternative property in Bruxby St. What a result! Extremely helpful (nothing was too much trouble), excellent communication, and the property was very well-equipped, comfortable and clean. My only reservation in strongly recommending is that we may find fully booked when we require again.

Little hamlets and villages are scattered all around this lovely part of the English countryside…read more You can drive down narrow lanes and somehow keep coming back to where you started from or get completely lost and end up picking blackberries from roadside bushes, and bluebells in the verdant woods which some say are part of the great forest of Arden stretching all the way down in a swathe from Nottingham - perhaps you might get surprised by Robin Hood and his merry men! Be sure to pack a picnic hamper with your favourite foods so you can stop in some idyllic setting to enjoy the peace and quiet and beauty that this part of the world offers to those who are willing to explore and let their imaginations run wild. After all, this is Tolkien country where the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings were written, where JRR Tolkien himself lived and was inspired to write. Shakespeare spent the latter part of his life in London but much of his inspiration came from his early days in middle England. His mother, Mary Arden, had a little cottage in Wilmcote just 3 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon so the bard may have created many of his writings while walking the leafy lanes. Nowadays Pear Tree Cottage set in 3 acres of gardens is a lovely place to stay in the heart of Wilmcote. This once B&B, now offers 2 lovely furnished flats for stays of any period. The owners, Philip and his charming lady, Janice,take care of you and your needs in a most caring way, and you will arrive to find the kitchen stocked with cafetiere coffee, hovis bread, good english butter, fresh milk and other groceries. You can sit in the extensive garden and enjoy twilight glasses of wine and chat to your heart's content. Just down the road a bit, is the post office cum grocery where shelves are stocked with chocolate, biscuits, wine, bread, fresh meats delivered daily and all the wonderful country foods and fruit your heart can imagine. It is only a 3minute walk to the local station where you can hop on train for a 5 minute run to Stratford any time of day or night. You can actually walk along the barge paths straight into Stratford upon Avon to shop and eat and see live Shakespeare at its best. Nearby Birmingham is a must for serious shoppers. In this the second largest city in the UK, besides a tempting array of restaurants, museums and art galleries, you can certainly 'shop till you drop!' It is a most convenient place to travel to as there is an international airport and fast trains from London will get you there easily. It is all there for you to enjoy and as I have ended my ramblings many times before, "you just have to DO IT".

Scammers and dishonourable liars. Avoid Villa Plus, do not book Villa Carmen (Cala Galdana) in…read moreMenorca. Do a first a Chargeback and then a S.75 claim through your credit card, if they scam you like they did to us. We booked a heated pool villa in mid- September in Menorca, Villa Carmen, the water was always cold, the weather was only around 20 degrees and we needed pool heating, which is why we paid for a villa with a heated pool. Instead, the pool was freezing at 17 degrees never going up to more than 23 - 24 degrees, as the heating was working only 4 hours in the whole day. The pool is uncovered and remains cold and dirty all night and most of the day. We spent our holidays disputing with rude unhelpful Villa Plus Reps in Menorca who did nothing, just fobbed us off. They also didn't tell us that the washing machine was already broken until our clothes got stuck in it and got ruined. They said they didn't replace the washing machine before we arrived because the villa owners (Manolo and Dolores) have to give their approval, but they are too stingy. Villa Plus wasted our holiday with a useless visit and again to replace the washing machine 3 days later, so we had not use of it for most of our stay. The villa itself is old, sad and dated, with wardrobes stinking of mould, so we could not use the wardrobes. There are steep dangerous stairs everywhere which is not advertised on Villa Plus, including no banister on the landing as you go upstairs, so you and your children can fall down if you're not careful. In the bedroom downstairs you can hear the toilet flushing upstairs and the water tank being replenished, which wakes you up at night. The pool table is unusable as it was left to rot outside. The pool area is the smallest space on just one side of the pool, the loungers barely fit in it so you can't walk past them. The pool area is always in the shade, so don't expect to sunbathe. It's totally disappointing. Wifi doesn't work, it stops all the time, there are notices saying you can't stream anything. Villa Carmen Galdana has been misrepresented by Villa Plus, so we want our money back. Shame on Villa Plus who ruined our holiday and acted dishonourably when we complained, despite the evidence we took, we even bought a pool thermometer to take our readings. All we did on this holiday is battling with Villa Plus and their obnoxious reps for days on end, while taking video evidence and photos of all the defects of the villa every day. We filed a formal complaint to Villa Plus but they replied with the most absurd excuses and did not offer any compensation. We started a Chargeback Claim through our credit card and, if it doesn't succeed we'll do a S.75. In the meantime, take our advice and do not use Villa Plus, they quickly take your good money but they give you rubbish. No need for the middle man when their services are substandard and their support inexistent.

Used Villa Plus Twice - Never Again…read more I've bought 2 Villa Plus holidays in the last 2 years. One was good and one was disgraceful. Unfortunately, it's not until you have a bad experience that you realise how poor Villa Plus is. The in-resort teams aren't able to do any more than odd jobs, but they'll try and paper over the cracks enough to warrant taking your money. When you raise concerns or complaints, be it direct, on a review site or on social media, you receive a generic cut and paste reply. There really is no personal touch. It becomes apparent very quickly that this company is purely about taking money from you. I fully understand that is how a business works, but it's slightly unfair to advertise how much the company cares - it doesn't. Villa Plus is quick to brag in responses about the claimed 3.5% dissatisfaction rate and how great that is. This for me speaks volumes about the morals of the company. There are over 16k reviews on Trustpilot, that's over 500 customers who have had a bad experience - but stuff them, who cares? Collateral damage, focus on using the good reviews to rake in more business. I've found the attitude towards dealing with a complaint is more focussed on shutting the customer up and getting them out of the picture. In my opinion, the better way of dealing with complaints is to ask 'How do we change this customer's opinion from a negative to a positive?', then interact on a personal level. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing the generic cut and paste replies - 'very sorry you remain unhappy', 'rest assured a full investigation will be carried out', 'we will respond in due course'. I holiday in a villa most years and I will not use Villa Plus again. I'm aware that taking my custom elsewhere is merely a drop in the ocean for a company that annually turns over in excess of £50 million but I believe the morals of a smaller, more select company will far better suit my needs.
