The Grange
A beautiful 'Home from Home' with everything we needed provided.
Les Ecuries II
Just perfect for my little family. With a winning combination of luxury and everything that a tiny human needs it was an amazing find. Can’t wait to come back.
Chateau Lamantin
La maison était assez grande et fonctionnelle pour accueillir 10 personnes dans de très bonnes conditions.
Loch Lomond Manor
Our visit was like a great house party where the hosts had forgotten to turn up. A beautiful distinguished house, full of history, art and Edwardian quirkiness. A welcoming atmosphere, immediately comfortable and homely. Generous hosts, despite their absence, leaving a feeling of friendship and true hospitality. Fine helpful and accommodating staff. Great gardens complete with deer who wandered in as we arrived - did Wesley the gardener put them there especially? Great library helpfully displayed to show us the history of the house and its occupants. Beautifully situated with easy access to hiking and historical attractions. A great Aga once you got the hang of it. A fitting five days finale to our 3 week hiking tour of the U.K for nine old friends from 5 countries. Very Difficult to leave the house behind. However, we have hundreds of photos to remind us.
Tour St Therese
My husband and I came here for an October half term holiday getaway. We’re expecting our first baby soon, so it was lovely to get away from it all on our last holiday abroad before he or she arrives in February. After a short 40-minute drive which twisted and turned its way through the beautiful Western France countryside, we arrived at Tour St Therese which was more stunning than I could ever have imagined. The house itself is set within beautiful walled gardens with an outdoor pool which will be perfect for relaxing in when the weather heats up. Once inside the house though, wow! You can’t help but look up and around you at all the wonderful architecture and craftsmanship of the building, with the spiral staircase and exposed timber beams, it really is like taking a step back in time. Our hostess, Paula, has added to the decor of the interior by decorating and furnishing each room exceptionally tastefully, keeping the charm of this lovely place in mind. We were greeted by Paula with a big friendly smile which never faded during our entire stay (4 nights), despite the fact she was busy attending to other guests who were also staying while we were there. The breakfasts she gave us were delicious, ranging from fresh bread and pastries from the local boulangerie to a full English fry up! We happily ate so much we didn’t really need any lunch! We were also offered dinner, which we were glad we didn’t turn down as, my, what a feast she laid on for us each evening! If Paula ever offers you dinner, don’t say no! She really is a brilliant cook! There is plenty to do in the area and lots of beautiful picturesque towns and villages to explore. We even managed to fit in a lovely 2-hour loop walk straight from outside Tour St Therese, following some walking route signs we came across! This is an idyllic place to stay if you want “an escape to the country” when you can leave all your worries behind you, soak in the peaceful serenity of the area and be spoilt rotten by the most wonderful host, Paula. We are already planning our return trip!
Villa Restinga
Excellent location , furnishings and general attention from Alvaro , Carla
Villa Martagao
We ended up in a 'warm nest': everything super clean, everything has been thought of, down to the details (including the basic stock).
Thank you for the welcome present. very much appreciated
Overall enjoyed house, pool (super!), environment,
Nancy and Andre did everything to give us a great week!!! We stayed at the Villa with our children and 6 grandchildren.Reserved UK properties
Juliette is a DELIGHT to work with! Super efficient and very knowledgeable, we were able to reserve 2 outstanding properties in just a few days with a myriad of obstacles, as traveling with dogs is not easy. Highly recommend Olivers and ask for Juliette!
Villa Sao Rafael
Great location, property was as the photos & description showed. Enjoyed the stay lots to explore around, convenience shops & facilities not walking distance, so just need to coordinate requirements, if you don’t have a car, but otherwise was a really great few days away in a really lovely place to stay just a few steps away from the beach & long coastal walks & an amazing beach restaurant (Restaurant a Sardinia) with great seafood & service at the door step. Amazing. Thank you.
Villa Rouga
Perfect and value holiday. Was so good and relaxing.
Besson FamilyNorthborough Manor Gatehouse
We found this a perfect property for four couples celebrating a 40th birthday - providing surroundings which amply justified ‘dressing for dinner’ at the grand 18th century table in the dining room or settling around the even older kitchen table for more informal meals.
The hosts were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the amazing history of the property and their love and care for the buildings was clear in the attention given to making the gatehouse a very comfortable place to stay – good quality bathrooms, beds, towels and linen and plenty of crockery and cutlery.
Our late September visit still allowed some evenings to enjoy a drink by the shade of the medlar in the courtyard or a wander through the Italian garden and orchard. Sadly we failed to fit in a game of badminton or croquet, equipment for which was provided!
We all enjoyed walking the fens and visiting diverse nearby places of interest, including Stamford, Flag Fen Bronze age settlement, Barnsdale gardens and Clipsham Yew Tree Avenue. We just didn’t have time in our ten days to visit more!
Three couples had cars but the fourth travelled by train from London – a swift easy journey. We met them from the station but either the regular bus service or a cab would have been quick and relatively cheap ways to get to the house, so a stay without cars could work just as well. Indeed in the generally flat terrain, bicycles could have been the perfect form of transport!
We would definitely happily stay there again!Villa Quinta
Excellent location & amenities, really close to airport
The villa was exactly as shown in the photos, spacious clean and fully equipped for a fantastic stay
Beautiful heated poolCottage du Vin
The levels of comfort, space and quality of furniture and fittings plus the immediate surroundings ensured rapid and continued relaxation and pleasure throughout our stay.
Information and additional communication with George (the owner) beforehand had been efficient, helpful and friendly.Villa Natulia
Everything went well from the beginning to the end. We had a perfect holiday in this stunning spot. The owner, met us on arrival and showed us around, although it was all fairly obvious. He also brought us a delicious plate of apple biscuits. When we weren't sunbathing on the beautiful terrace we were swimming in the sea a few steps down from the house. If you just want to stay, there is a simple cafe bar and a small restaurant in the village. The village is a gentle walk of less than 10 minutes, or you can swim across the bay quite easily..:-))) Everybody spoke great English and the whole stay was completely stress-free.
Hummingbird Villa
We had to change properties as the villa that we had originally booked was not suitable for myself or my husband. We needed to stay somewhere else and Oliver’s Travels and Blue Sky Luxury who look after the villa were most accommodating and arranged Hummingbird Villa for us. We have stayed there previously so already knew what it was like. We really felt looked after and the Housekeeper, Velda is a lovely lady and took really good care of us. I would recommend both companies equally!
Menai Lodge
Very Comfortable beds, very clean Lodge & great welcoming Owners.
Fresia I
Very well located, welcoming and professional staff… Recommended!!!
The Grange
Amazing place. Comfortable, beautiful with everything you could possibly need
Villa Zoe
Villa Zoe is the best villa I ever had the pleasure of staying in. It is clean, spacious and modern. The garden is beautiful, you get gorgeous mountain and sea views - breathtaking views!
The owner and his team are amazing, they cater for your every need and more (nothing is too much for them day or night).
I will definitely be returning!Crocus House
It was spacious, full of light, had very high quality furnishings and was very well equipped. It was ideal for a whole family gathering.
