Sleeping 4 people self catering accommodation

Memorable parts? Just being in such a remote location, no internet, no emails, no phone signal! Totally peace and tranquility! Having the raft was totally fab to play around on too! Also seeing the kingfisher, catching fish (returned safely to their watery home!) having deer as neighbours & listening to the stags rutting. Tips? The cabin can hold 2 adults & 2 children comfortably as the upstairs twin room is very low - if you are a grown up with back problems......ouch! But more than... (more)Sally Cowburn

Maggie, joint owner with Ian, took us on a walk through the wet grassland area of special scientific interest. Not only was it interesting from an ecological point of view it was such fun. (more)Jenny Brace

We'll remember the brightness of the stars on clear nights with no light pollution, watching bats flying around our lodge at sunset, waking late because it was so quiet and comfortable and the blackout blinds were so good, the ruby red cows really glowing like rubies at sunset, being content to just potter around the farm in the sunshine without getting bored.

Memorable parts? It really was a beautiful holiday. We really loved the whole holiday. We liked the house we rented through Responsible Travel. The location was wonderful; the landscape was amazing, nice and quiet, in contact with nature. We liked hiking in the beautiful Lanzarote volcanic areas and along the paths of La Geria wine region. Tips? There are 3 villages which in my opinion are not worth a visit: Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise. These are built for tourists... (more)Chiara Zubelli

Idyllic...The steep narrow lane leading to this beautiful tranquil place - better than any fairgroud ride! The snow tipped mountains despite 25 deg temperature. The locals were so welcoming and friendly - the owners so accommodating. (more)Cheryle Jones

The most memorable part was breakfast on the terrace blending almost to dinner by the time we finished playing dominoes overlooking the lovely river valley...We had a fine time! (more)Tracey Eckersley

This is a traditional Andalusian village cottage, lightly adapted. It has genuine sense of age, and of being part of a village community. The bathing pool in the river (fed by springs so still full of water in the summer) is delightful. (more)Philip Luscombe

Helen and Tony have done a first class job here, and were really helpful ~ we wish them every success. (more)David Graham

Memorable parts? We were intrigued to stay in a house made of straw bales and to see how recycling/ reuse can be put into practice and good effect.- we were not disappointed! We found the photo albums showing the building of the house really interesting. Tips? If intending to take a trip by train whilst there be aware that station car park can be very busy. Local benefits? We shopped locally, and found local residents / shop staff to be very helpful and friendly. Overall... (more)C Sharkey

Memorable parts? Hiking to the yurt with our rucksacks from Genalguacil village using the old donkey path. It was difficult but very rewarding. The peace and tranquility of the woodland yurt was priceless, especially lying in the hammock taking in the scenery. The eco loo environment was suprisingly comfortable. Dan and Juss and family were very warm and inspirational people, it was an absolute pleasure to meet them. Waking up to the glorious sunshine in such beautiful surroundings will never...

The house is fully equipped with everything what you need - from a good filled bookshelf to all what you desire in the kitchen...We have been there for a week in October, it was just perfect, still hot for the beach and cooling down for night. One of our best short breaks ever. (more)Christine Leitner

Most memorable were the rural location with an opportunity to see the landscape and vegetation. The space, both our private area around our yurt and outside where the kids were free to play on the trampoline and meet the chickens and donkey. The smallness of the resort and the uncrowded beach. The morning bike ride into the village for bread. (more)Roos Eisma

Very relaxing holiday, felt at home and relaxed the whole time, as villas enclosed in a walled area felt children could wander around as they liked without worry, the owners of the villas were lovely and felt more like family when we left, although never intrusive. (more)Patricia Raistrick

Absolutely brilliant, money well spent. Can't wait to visit again!! (more)Carla McGuigan

Memorable parts? I think the scenery on the Brittany coast, and a wonderful meal we had on our last day, plus some great visits to local artisan producers. Local benefits? Yes, we shopped in local shops and markets, and five of us travelled together in a relatively fuel-efficient car, using the ferry rather than flying. Overall rating? Going away was quite an undertaking as two of our party were over 90. We did quite a lot of forward planning, and Jacqui was tremendously helpful,... (more)Lis Burch
