Our experience shows that this procedure results in an all round better holiday for everyone, as our holiday home owners are prepared to offer better quality properties for guests and all guests fully respect the property and so make manageable the process of preparing the property for the next guest's full enjoyment. Nearly all our guests are respectful people where the bond is fully returned. We have a high proportion of returning guests who are appreciative of our service and the high standard of accommodation that we strive to provide.

Thanks for the Feedback which has been passed on the Property Owner and the Deputy. Please can all issues be brought to our attention as soon as you can - many issues can be rectified almost immediately. The Deputy replied: "Unfortunately, lots of guests mixed cleanliness with decoration. For example if walls have marks and they need painting- guest will think they are dirty. If floor has scratches and marks- they will think we didn't mop it etc. It's a tricky one. If there's any specific cleaning feedback, I would really appreciate the information."
