1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
John Muir Laws was a fabulous tutor. He was so enthusiastic and kind and always available. I enjoyed the bus trips to small towns and beaches where we got to feast at local restaurants.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
The location was beautiful and the room was comfortable but the shower was so slippery, I was afraid whenever I stepped into it. The staff always seemed put off when asked for something. There was instant coffee in the room-enough for one day- and when I asked for more I was told it was only there as a welcome. Coffee not available until 9am does not cut it for an early riser. When we were shown to our second floor room, we were not offered help with our luggage even though we are an elderly couple. Dinner was supposed to be at 7:30 but usually wasn’t served until 8. The breakfasts were very good but the dinners and lunches were almost inedible.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I have no idea.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
The workshop was amazing and we met many wonderful, interesting people. The tutor could not have been better. Had the staff been more welcoming and accommodating, it would have been great. I give 5 stars to the workshop but only 3 to the hotel.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
