July 2010 - El Valle Golf - Villa Fara and Krisana
Dear Linda, We had an amazing time at Villa Fara and Krisana. The villas were spacious and the outside living area was perfectly adequate, with lovely clean pools. The villas were superbly equipped to a high standard, very peaceful and quiet. We would most definitely use Great Holiday Rentals again. Thank you Vanessa Anderson View this property

July 2010 - Villa Jasmine

Reference:

The Villa Jasmine is an excellent base for a holiday in South Spain. The villa is spacious and well laid out, and has excellent air conditioning which is essential in hot weather. We all enjoyed the pool especially our granddaughter. Organising the holiday was made easy by the excellent service obtained from Great Holiday Rentals Abroad Ltd.

Hope this is OK.

July 2010 - Nueva Ribera - Apartment Liano

'A delightful apartment, fully equipped to a high standard, incorporating everything you need. The communal areas and pool are immaculate, and the lift makes this first floor apartment no trouble. Right on the beach, with a great sea view from the balcony. There's a handy beachfront bar within 100 metres of the apartments. However there is no noise from the bar, in fact it is extremely peacful and quiet during the day, and most importantly at night. Its proximity to the airport makes it really handy, and although there are flights during the day, everything goes quiet during the evening and night. We had a wonderful holiday. The resort is perfect for children, and really relaxing place for adults to stay. We have reccommended it to all our friends and can't wait to return.'

July 2010 - El Valle Golf - Villa Paraguas Algaba

Dear Linda
I just wanted to thank you for organising this wonderful villa for us at El Valle. We were especially delighted that we opted for the larger Algabe type as with 5 boys the extra space was very much appreciated by all.....
Between the pool, golf, table tennis and a playstation which they brought along, we all had a blast. This Villa I can highly recommend as it has all the luxuries and amenities a family could want in a beautiful sunny climate.
Kind regards

'The villa is located on a complex that is ideal for families, with a selection of bars and restaurants and the supermarket is a short walk away. The villa itself had everything we needed for our stay with a well equipped kitchen and a good size pool. We had a very comfortable stay and would recommend this villa as an ideal base for families.'

June 2010 - Camposol - Villa Fortuna

Linda,
Thank you very much. We very much enjoyed our time at your "very family friendly" villa. We had everything we needed for the kids and was great to not have to worry about taking a buggy or hiring a cot/taking toys etc. My eldest son also was hooked on the bear stories & traditional fairytale books that you had to the point where he wanted to take them home ( we need to find them now as he enjoyed the stories so much). The child gate is also a fantastic idea and allowed us to let the kids on the veranda without the worry they will venture into the pool. The villa was lovely and comfortable fit the 3 children & adults we had staying.
Finally the welcome pack was a complete life saver, we were delayed and arrived late and the supermarket was closed. So it was lovely to find such a large welcome pack & a personal thank you for the beer. It was thouroghly needed after the long travel day.
Thank you for everything and we had no problems at all over the holiday and would definately recommend it

Linda,

Please pass on our gratitude and appreciation to the owners of Villa Turquesa, for their gesture after last year, and let them know that we had a fantastic holiday at El Valle. The Villa was excellent and the pool was fantastic.

The sunshine, peace and tranquility was exactly what we were looking forward to for our 2 weeks and El Valle didn't disappoint us. We will certainly look to more Villa holidays in the future.

Please let me know how the deposit is reimbursed?

June 2009 - El Valle - Villa Mirador - June 2009

Linda,

Just a quick note to say many thanks for arranging everything so smoothly with our recent holiday at El Valle and Villa Mirador, we had a great time and will certainly be going on villa holidays again.

As you said the villa was immaculate and we enjoyed the peace at the resort. We did think there would be more at El Valle, however I think with the way property market has gone the additional recreation areas appear to have been put on hold. Nevertheless the weather was fantastic and the peace and quiet was exactly what we needed.

Grateful if you can pass on our thanks to the villa owners.

One final point I wonder if you can confirm when we will receive our deposit back.

Many thanks

June 2009 - Nueva Ribera - Penthouse Loaiza

Hi Linda

Many thanks for your email, i would just like to say how wonderful the apartment was, it was not only furnished and fitted to a very high standard but it also had things included that showed that care and consideration had gone into it, the coffee machine was a very nice touch as was the bread wine etc on arrival. The security were always friendly and made the place feel incredibly safe and secure.

As a holiday location the beach was very close indeed and "foody" places and supermarkets were a short distance away, i loved the fact that it was not over run with brits on tour and always had a nice atmosphere.

Many Thanks again

June 2009 - El Valle - Villa Summer - June 2009

Hi Linda

The villa was wonderful and we had a fantastic time at El Valle. The Villa was perfect for families and the safety fence around the pool was essential with 2 little 2 year olds running about. Also the villa is in an excellent position for days out e.g. Terra Natura with easy access to the Motorways and so close to the Airport.

We will hopefully speak to you soon about booking again next year.

I will give you a call with my bank details as don't like sending them over e-mail.

Thanks again

Hi Linda Many thanks for your assistance with the booking of the Algaba Villa Rutillo in El Valle. Those staying there at the weekend had a great time relaxing in the sun.

May 2009 - Camposol - Villa Fortuna

Hi Linda,

We really enjoyed our stay in the villa! Needed a relaxing holiday and certainly got it here. It was wonderful. The pool was a great size and at night, with the lights on it was beautiful. Took advantage of the Daily Mail DVD collection in the villa - long time since we've seen Brief Encounter!! Needed help from Penny and George on one occasion and they were great. We would certainly stay again if we come back to Murcia.

April 2009 - Camposol - Neptuno Christina

We had a very enjoyable holiday with the weather being much better than we had expected. The villa was very comfortable and spacious and we enjoyed sitting and relaxing by the pool (although the pool itself was still a bit on the cold side to make use of). However, we enjoyed the villa's tranquil position with good views looking towards the Sierra Espuna. We would certainly recommend it to others who are looking for a spacious, quiet and comfortable property who are either prepared to spend all of their time at the villa self-catering or who do not mind driving up to the Commercial Centre or into Puerto Mazarron for a meal.

We hope to use your service again in the future.

Best wishes

Joseph and Gemma Murphy and family.

Dear Linda,

We really enjoyed our stay in the Villa, the kids loved playing around the pool and we all enjoyed meals up on the Solarium with the stunning views of the surrounding mountains. We found the Villa to be great, clean with everything we needed for a happy holiday. Ian was very accommodating with the key pick ups and was always happy to answer questions and give advice. We certainly wouldn' think twice about booking the Villa again.

Villa Stokes was lovely, well equipped, spacious and modern. In fact the space allowed us to eat in if we wanted and we cooked for nine on New Years Eve!

Thank you for your email, we had a great holiday and everyone really enjoyed the stay at La Torre. The accommodation had all the home comforts and was very pleasant. The view from the terrace and balcony on to the 5th hole was fantastic and the location of the town houses are ideal (close to the main gate and the supermarket and away from the noisy bar and restaurant areas). It was easy to find it and to get there and conveniently located to get around.

We were most impressed and I will put a paragraph together for website in the next week or so.

'Villa Summer has everything you need for the perfect holiday. The setting is fantastic and the sunsets over the golf course at night were stunning... The villa is beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped right down to the plastic plates, cups and cutlery which were perfect for our 5 year old son Aidan. The pool area even had inflatable's for us to use! We were particularly impressed with the water filter on the American fridge freezer which meant that we didn't have to buy any bottled water for use in the Villa. The outside area is fenced in and the pool also has safety fencing which gave us peace of mind with a young child and an extra feeling security. Overall, we had a wonderful holiday... Thank you Linda for your help and advice. We will be recommending your excellent services to our friends and family.

Hi Linda,

Thank you for your email. We had a super time. The villa was just as you described, beautifully equipped and very quiet. The fridge and cupboards were very well equipped with all the essentials you would require when you arrived. Tina, the lady who looked after the villa was fantastic and came to visit us twice to make sure everything was ok. The infrastructure is great, with easy access to all requirements both leisure and necessity. We particularly enjoyed the town of Cartagena, a fantastic naval history and Murcia as a city had all the shopping requirements. San Javier also provided a mix of shops. Easy access to beaches at the Mar Menor as well as other beaches on the Mediterranean were all within 20mins drive.

Dear Linda,

Our 3rd year booking with you, and another fantastic holiday.
Villa Algorfa was everything we could have hoped for. A great location with wonderful views to sit and peruse whilst having our meals on the main balcony, (Morning coffee on the smaller balcony off the main bedroom with the added entertainment of the morning golfers).
The local Sunday Market was fantastic for bargains and a good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. Lots to see and do in Guardamar and Torrevieja which are both only a short drive away.

The Villa is well equipped (as always from your properties) and the key holders; Liz and John very friendly and helpful.

We are really looking forward to returning to Villa Algorfa next year, for a longer stay,
- only 345days to go !!!!

Hi Linda

We had a great holiday thank you at villa Mendes. The villa itself is lovely & very spacious. We found it very child friendly & were thankful for the air-con, as it was very hot. The villa was very modern but also felt very homely, which is great for a family with a one year old (who can't go out to eat at night). The villa had everything we needed, the only thing I can recommed for future guests is that you have some sort of guestbook so that visitors can write down recommendations of places to visit & supermarkets etc. It took us a couple of days to find places & this would have been helpful.

Thanks for all your help Linda in helping to make things run smoothly & ensuring we had a brilliant first family holiday.

Thanks Linda.

Yes, we enjoyed our holiday very much and in were in fact pleasantly surprised by how quiet the area is.

It seems that Camposol gives the best of both worlds, as you have access to the British lifestyle if you want (without the archetypal lager louts), but are also close to traditional Spanish areas.

Puerto Mazarron is wonderful in the evening for eating out and some of the beaches further down the coast are breathtaking and excellent for swimming and fshing.

All in all, we had a very enjoyable time and will certainly be considering return very soon.

We had a fantastic holiday and a very relaxing one. I enjoyed my little Polaris World Experience and would thoroughly recommend it. I would love to add a reference to your website. Thanks for your service aswell it was very prompt and very efficient. We would defiantly go through you again.

Many thanks and I hope you enjoy your own holiday.

We had a fantastic two weeks at La Torre! What a wonderful resort - a town in itself. The Townhouse was of superb quality & had fantastic views over-looking the golf course. It was excellent for children, infact one of the most relaxing holidays we have had with the children. Everything is immaculate including the swimming pools and everyone was very friendly.

We would defiantly go back and most defiantly use your company again. I was most impressed at your quick responses from our initial booking enquiry to the return of the deposit at the end of the holiday.

Just thought that I should drop you an e-mail to say thanks for your help. We had a fantastic time!

Your advice was perfect - La Torre was ideal for us and the kids. The apartment was lovely and we'd definitely go back. I was really surprised by how peaceful the place was - my big reservation was that I thought that it would be really noisy and I couldn't have been more wrong. The beaches down at Calblanque were perfect too - such a surprise to find an undeveloped bit of Spanish coast.

Your refund deposit cheque is also safely back with us.

Hope you enjoyed your camping.

July 2008 - Murcia - La Torre - Villa Dearsley
Apologies in the late reply,

We stayed in Villa Dearsley @ La Torre de Golf in July 2008 and I have to say we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have tried hotel holidays several times with our kids and although it is enjoyable now we have tried a villa holiday we will be slow to return to a hotel.

The flexibility of the villa is excellent when you have 2 young kids (ours are 4 and 18mths).

On arrival the villa itself was absolutely spotless, the villa is an impressive 3 bedroom villa with a generous garden and perfect size pool for our two kids. It is located in a quiet area of la torre golf resort and there is a road to the front that is very quiet.

I found it difficult to find fault with the accommodation, as I said it was spotlessly clean, very modern and spacious. However if I was to search for fault it was that the garden was not enclosed and there was a steep drop at the back of the pool. (this was advised to us prior to us booking and we took are chances). Luckily enough for us our eldest is sensible enough not to venture and our youngest is young enough not to be interested, next year might be a different situation though!

Villa Dearsley has changed the way our family will holiday and my first port of call will most definitely be Linda before we book anything. the communication was excellent even though she was on holiday when we booked we still got prompt responses to queries.

Thanks again.

Hi Linda

Thanks for the phone call. Happy to provide a reference.

The Villa was superb and very clean on our arrival. This is now our tenth year of villa holidays and my husband, who is a chef, said that it was the best equipped kitchen he had cooked in on holiday. The bedrooms were an excellent size as was the living area. There was also plenty of room at the pool for all the sunbeds to lie and we could even play a few games of french boules.

The pool must have a great filter system as it was always clean. It was a great size and depth for the kids and we had great fun with the inflatables that were left. In keeping with that spirit, we left a basketball and a crocodile, known as Mr Snappy, for the next family to enjoy

Penny was a wonderful guide. The beaches and restaurants she recommended were excellent and on hearing that we forgot to pack some DVD's let us borrow her Disney collection for the kids to watch in the hot afternoons.

We visited Murcia, Vera, Aquilas and Puerto De Mazzaron, all which were easy to get to and great places to visit. The beach at Aquilas was great with fantastic facilites that put our Beaches up here in Scotland to shame.

In summary we had a great week in lovely surroundings, visiting new and interesting places and living in a fantastic villa.

Thanks again, I will recommend your site (and already have) for any family looking for great holiday.

Arriving at 11.00 p.m. meant that the welcoming pack in the fridge was an absolute godsend. When we woke in the morning, we could not believe the beautiful views from the villa and the amazing swimming pool with the water feature. The golf fanatics on the holiday were able to indulge in a round of golf when friends visited for the day and the ladies were able to issue quiet words of encouragement when they arrived at the third tee which the villa overlooked.

You definitely need to hire a car here, but we became friendly with a local taxi driver who was happy to ferry us around in the evenings. To be honest the barbeque we had at the villa one evening was super and we thought, ‘Why go out?’

Liz was wonderful and really helpful. I had forgotten beach towels, but nothing was a problem to her: She arrived next morning with towels and lots of advice on where to go. She also did a housekeeping service when family arrived for the second week.

Thank-you so much, Linda. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends.

Best Regards,

Jim and Heather McGuffie

Hi Linda,

thanks for your email, was going to ask about the deposit but hadn't got round to it yet!

The villa was lovely, we had a fantastic holiday. We didn't really leave the villa much! It was great knowing that if anything went wrong there were people nearby to help, although we had no problems at all. Penny was extremely helpful. We'll certainly be looking at coming again!

Thank you for the easy booking and the help with the equipment for the baby, I have recommended you to a few people because you go the extra mile.

Many thanks, see you next year!

Dear Linda

Enjoyed a fabulous week at Villa Mirador! Everything was well organised through the booking process and during our stay. On arrival my family and I were truly impressed with the cleanliness and attention to detail throughout. The whole villa absolutely 'sparkled' ! I know this aspect is always a concern for owners, but in Pat you have certainly found the 'Jewell-in-the-Crown'. I would recommend anyone wanting to stay in a lovely Villa, in a delightful location, Villa Mirador certainly comes up trumps!
Could you please pass on my familes compliments to Pat and her team, we had a fantastic week !!
Many Thanks

Beautifully maintained spacious villa with fantastic mountain views. Our party travelled in 2 separate groups and the layout of the villa suited perfectly. The resort is quiet at the moment, which suited us as our children were happy to play in the pool in the evenings, but you definitely need a car. The little supermarket is very well stocked and the whole area is spotlessly clean and very well looked after.
A very professional service from Linda with that all important 'personal' touch. We hope to avail of her services again.

Car essential to experience the best of the area. Murcia terra aqua /natura at most 15 mins away zoo and water park with lunch and loungers included in entrance fee our kids 7-10 years managed all rides/ flumes not at all busy no queues or hassle – great day out . Very central for Murcia, Cartagena ,Mar Menor, La Manga loads of beaches to choose from - a car journey and appreciate returning to the privacy and peace of this gorgeous villa. We flew into Alicante ( 50 mins)but if you fly into San Javier 10-15 mins and roads are well signed and an easy drive.

Dear Linda

Following our return from El Valle I would like to express our thanks for all of your assistance in arranging our accommodation, having travel to several resorts over the years it was an absolute pleasure to find on our arrival a villa that far surpassed our expectations. The Villa was in every way 1st class and I would recommend it to anybody.

The quality of the resort was also in line with the villa and anybody wishing to experience a quality holiday in 4 star luxury this is a place to enjoy it.

1 Villa – very good
2 Golf – very good
3 Main Restaurant – Food very nice indeed

Again thank you very much, and its nice to see a company like yourself offering exactly what it says it can without any hidden issues.

Regards

Hello Linda

Just a little note to let you know that all went smoothly at Villa Fortuna. The villa really did have everything you could need whilst on holiday. Travelling with two toddlers was hard work but the provision of child friendly items such as cot, high chair and stairgate was extremely well received. The latter meaning that I could relax knowing that the little one could'nt take her herself off down to the pool! The key holders were most helpful and available if you needed them and though the resort was huge it was always really quiet around the villa. All in all a lovely holiday break in a lovely villa.

Thank you for your call on Saturday, something you certain wouldn't get from a "big operator".

We had a fantastic holiday and managed to couple both a beach and golf holiday to perfection. The beach was delightful and although busy at times it was kept clean and neat with a wonderful atmosphere. We made friends with the owners of the English Beach Bar and they made us feel totally welcome and at home. David was a professional golfer until a couple of years ago and has just started playing again. He found Roda Golf a great venue to get back into the "swing" and met plenty of other like minded competent players. Everyone was bright and friendly, even the security guards got the hang of calling taxi's for us (as we failed totally to learn Spanish before leaving). The apartment was lovely, bright, airy and probably the nicest I have stayed in. On reflection the only thing I would have done differently would have been to hire a car, as we did end up using a lot of taxi's and doing a lot of walking. A great holiday, with painless booking and friendly staff here and in resort.

Hope that is ok

Just 1 small thing - we were only provided with 1 door key so if I went to pool and James went out in the car we had to arrange a drop off / pick up. 2 keys would have been handy.

I would like to thank you for our wonderful stay at Villa Fara it was absolutely beautiful.

It was very relaxing .The villa was absolutely spotless and very well equiped.

We felt we had 10 beautiful days to relax unwind in a lovely enviroment.

The pool was beautiful and an absolute godsend for our autistic son infact he thoroughly enjoyed all of the holiday due to the privacy and peaceful setting.

The meals were lovely in the golf resort restaurant .Everything was handy and accesible.

We have stayed at many villa's in the past but Villa Fara was by far the very best we have ever stayed in. I have returned home wishing i was still there.

Once again thank you for our lovely holiday

Hi Linda

Just a few words about Villa Kam as requested:

Villa Kam is a lovely spacious villa, well equiped with lovely views of the golf course and mountains beyond. The pool is a really good size with plenty of room to lounge around. There are a few restaurants and bars on La Finca but these are about a 20 minute walk from the villa so you will need to use a car if you have kids. Nearby Guardamar beach is well worth a visit but as long as you're well stocked up you won't really want to leave the villa that much!

Thanks

Dear Linda

Sorry for the delay in sending you our feedback on Villa Summer, but here goes;

As a family of 5 adults and two children aged 2 and 3, Villa Summer was an ideal place to stay. The villa was well laid out and spacious enough for all of us. The attention to child safety with the fence around the pool was invaluable, as was the security throughout the villa. This allowed us to relax while the children played outside. They also enjoyed the toys kindly left for our use. Another child friendly feature was the plastic plates and cutlery.

We will be recommending Villa Summer to our friends with little ones (and without!) and we hope to return in the not too distant future.

Kind regards

March 2008 - El Valle - Villa Corgat

March 2008 - Murcia - El Valle - Villa Corgat
"Our party of 8 (4 adults, 4 children) stayed in Villa Corgat, situated in the El Valle Golf Resort, during Easter week (March) 2008. The villa was excellent, being well equipped and having everything a family might need. We found the resort itself a little deserted, and amenities limited, with a temporary clubhouse which because of the resort layout, was not within easy walking distance. Having found our bearings, however, (with more than a little help from Tom & Connie next door), we soon found a couple of restaurants and a garage selling fresh bread and other essentials within a short drive. For a very reasonably priced meal we would recommend the restaurant in the adjacent golf resort (Mosa Trajectum) and the restaurant/butchers on the opposite side of the dual carriageway “Venta Los Tres Hermanos”. Being fairly remote, driving is a must. We didn’t necessarily find this an inconvenience, more of an incentive to get out and explore. The Costa Calida region appears to be less commercialised than the other spanish Costas and as such still retains its authenticity and charm. We didn’t see a single blackboard offering Egg & Chips or the local start times for Eastenders and Coronation Street! The beach onto the Mar Menor at Los Alcazares was excellent for children and on one occasion we were treated to an air display by the spanish equivalent of the Red Arrows. All in all, a very good introduction to the region, easily organised with a helpful and efficient service from Great Holiday Rentals.

Dear Linda,

We have just returned from our wonderful 2 weeks holiday at your Villa Fortuna. As you can imagine — it was just like going home to us, being the second time. I didn't want to leave! My how the roads have changed in a year! The journey from Alicante airport seemed much simpler this year. Even though we had an extremely early start on the Saturday we left, I managed to pop some bedding into the washing machine for Penny, to save her some time.

My sister enjoyed her 6 days with us, and will be telling her husband about the joys of villa rental no doubt.

We obviously dream about owning our own villa one day — but I fear it would be a case of 'selling up' here before that could happen.

We are looking forward to our next years holiday and we are considering the feasibility of trying to afford a 3rd week for myself and our son (Saturday to Saturday from Leeds Bradford Airport) — as my husband Ian only gets 2 weeks holiday during the summer, he could still come out Thursday to Thursday from our local airport.

We are just mulling this over at the moment. However it could probably be a prospect for 2009! - Maybe even 4 weeks!

We brought your DVD back with us, where would you like me to post it?

Anyway Linda, I hope you are well, and your new home is everything you had hoped.

Hi Linda ,apologies for not being in touch before, but I have been working in Europe since returning from holiday. I would just like to thank you for all your help in organising what proved to be a great holiday. The villa was extremeley comfortable and well equipped and the basic foods and wine on arrival were much appreciated. Due to the very high temperatures, 40 degrees plus daily, the pool was a godsent. I should point out that a car is essential when staying at Casa Salsa simply because it is too far to walk to the shops, especially in the hot weather, although I understand there is a second shopping complex currently under construction about half a mile from the villa, so once this is complete the car will not be so important. Booking the holiday proved effortless thanks to your help and no doubt you will be hearing from me next year.
Once again many thanks.

The villas were both very clean and as described on your website. The key holders were both extremely helpful assisting us with finding them and we were delighted with the welcome pack of bread, milk and a bottle of wine to tide us over until the following day when the shops opened.

The resort was very quiet but exactly what we wanted and with a pool at the villa, a communal pool nearby as well as the country club, the children were happy and so were we. I would add that although a car is recommended, I would say it is essential to access any of the amenities.

The welcome pack was good - eggs, milk, bread, butter, cakes etc. Don't know if this had been left by Connie or Tom or the cleaner, but greatly appreciated as we had arrived late.

We have just spent a fantastic 2 weeks at the Villa Fortuna in Camposol. The villa itself was exactly like the pictures on the website. It was in immaculate condition and having a south-facing pool was brilliant. From when you got up in the morning till evening the sun was round the pool. Although the resort itself is massive sitting around the villa in the evening we found it to be very quiet and peaceful. This was the first time we have done a villa holiday and the 1st class, friendly service you provided from start to finish means that we wouldn't hesitate in doing it again. Penny and George (the keyholders) were brilliant and when we had a problem replacing the gas canister they were round straight away - a first-class service! We would certainly have no hesitation in recommending your company and would definitely book through you again. Many thanks once again for making our holiday a truly pleasurable one.

Dear Linda,

Just wanted to write and say A BIG THANK YOU for making our holiday at VILLA FARRA such a wonderful experience. I really appreciate the time you took at every stage to help us. In fact from the very first enquiry and your immediate reply helped us to decide it was good to work with you! I also really appreciated that you allowed us to change our minds regarding our villa and respected our wish to change! I'm so glad we did Villa Farra is a "gem" of a Villa.

From the moment we arrived we were met by Christine and Debbie who kindly showed us where everything was - and telling us about the local area and what to visit! We really appreciated this as well as the Villa being spotlessly clean. Thank you. We had a wonderful peaceful holiday - we could not believe how quiet it was even though we were on a Golf Resort. Of course we had some workmen noise during part of the day - but nothing to really be concerned about. Alan and I are both early birds so we took the opportunity to walk the Golf course each morning.

We have some WONDERFUL pictures of spectacular sun-rises and sun-sets. We loved when the Pool filter came on - it only added to the ambience - along with the bird-song! We had an exciting morning when we discovered a SNAKE - yes a SNAKE shading in the shutters! Alan made a good attempt of winding it round the brush handle and putting it over the wall into the scrub-land. David our son "blossomed" throughout the week - especially having a Pool almost at his bedroom door! We've come back very happy and rested. We were even envious about the family following us and wished we could have stayed longer.

If I can offer one constructive criticism it would be regarding the welcome pack. Long-life Milk a tub of margarine and a loaf of bread was practical but not very sustaining, especially as the Resort was not fully functioning. I know earlier in the year you offered to buy in groceries for us and I completely forgot - so its as much our fault that we did not go shopping beforehand. However perhaps other clients would be happy to pay an extra 20 Euros on to the price to receive a real welcome pack of Wine, bread, cheese, milk, fruit, cereal etc - just to get us started. Thank you again for making our holiday to the Murcia area a very pleasurable experience. Please send our best regards to the owner and her very tasteful decor! We felt very much at home.

With Kind Regards Cecilia

Dear Linda

Just a short note to say what a wonderful time we had at the villa, it truely is beautiful. The villa had everything we could have asked for. My eldest son adored the pool, whilst my youngest stayed mainly in doors on the play station, thank goodness for play stations!!!

The surroundings are spectacular. We love the way the golf course has been built into the rock which made a fantastic walk, very picturesque. We had a walk around the show house and are considering buying one for ourselves. We may well be back in Murcia around October and will definitely contact you re accommodation again.

Thanks again Margo and family

Linda a big thanks for providing such an excellent villa rental service after visiting your website & then speaking directly to you on the phone about our requirements. We had a fantastic holiday, and the villa more than exceeded our expectations. For anybody who is looking for a comfortable, relaxing holiday I would recommend this villa to them. But more importantly if you want someone to assist in finding a suitable villa then Linda French is very friendly, honest & reliable.

The before, during & aftercare service was superb! We would certainly have no hesitation in recommending you and would definitely book through you again. Furthermore when we decide to buy our villas (Looking at Cape Verde, Brazil & Goa) we will be more than happy to have you acting as our agent! THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A PROFESSIONAL WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH LINDA!

Best wishes from Gopal, Ranyi, Spike, Pat, Eric & Milli Best Regards, Gopal

Great Holiday Rentals Ltd,

Dear Linda,

Ref Dearsley Villa – Torres (Murcia Region)

I would like to commend your service and the quality and value of accommodation offered in my recent holiday with my kids, sister and her daughter too.

From San Javier (Murcia Airport) the accommodation was a relatively straight forward 15 minute drive, using the map supplied in the information posted to me prior to my departure from the UK. On arrival at the Polaris World development, one quick phone call to the local agent (Debbie or Christine), who are based and live their too, and we were met at the entrance and very quickly shown to the villa.

Debbie showed us round this immaculate villa which is virtually new and is equipped with everything you need. Air conditioned and well furnished living area, private (and generously sized pool) 3 bedrooms and so many bathrooms which was perfect for me considering I had to share the week with four females! Debbie took some time to introduce the complex and the location of the various amenities on – site but also went on further to indicate on a map (supplied) which towns, beaches and cities were worth going to see – which we did go to as the week progressed.

Although a large resort the complex is extremely quiet and secure and this made lazy evenings next to the pool a real pleasure. Satellite TV was nice to have as well for catching up on the news and relaxing to watch a movie late on once the kids were finally in their beds.

Having mostly being used to package type holiday for med type holidays, it was a refreshing change to have this style of holiday with no pressure of time, and the flexibility of a late check-out being offered when bookings are such that it is possible.

I found the personal service you all provided 1st class, examples being, how the villa was held on a verbal basis by your company, giving me time to organize and book/confirm flights before finally committing; also within 24 hours of arriving back, Debbie / Christine had already been in touch with you with respect to some items that we had left behind and the willingness you showed by calling me and on offering the return of these – something that would never be expected on a typical holiday abroad. It also demonstrated how closely you work together with the in-country representatives.

I would have no hesitations in recommending Great Holiday Rentals Ltd to friends and family and it is worthy noting that with this style/concept of holiday I think I saved a few hundred pounds over the (alternative budget only!) type package deals that were available to me at the time.

Please extend my thanks to Debbie and Christine too,

Yours sincerely,

Calum Whitelaw and the girls.

Dear Linda, I just had to write to you to say how much we enjoyed our stay at your Villa. We cannot wait to come back again next year! We were so happy there and you have every reason to be proud of it. It is well equipped, with all 'home comforts' whilst retaining a Spanish Charm. We also feel that you have a great asset in Bob, who is very friendly and helpful. Here is a picture of the pool at night — thought you might like it. Hope you enjoy your stay there, and I look forward to hearing from you when you get back about our booking for next year Sat 4th - Sat 18th Aug. 2007. Best Wishes Brenda

Dear Linda, (family of 2 - Villa Fortuna - Dec 2005)

I am delighted to be able to send you positive feedback after our 10 day stay in your Fortuna Villa at Camposol in December 2005. The villa was exactly as described and was welcoming due to the fact that your key-holder had anticipated our arrival, put the heating on for us and left us essential supplies. Everything worked properly and it was a real “home from home”. In all my dealings with you, you have been very professional, prompt and efficient. I would certainly have no hesitation recommending you to anyone looking for comfortable self-catering accommodation. Yours sincerely, Sue Naylor

November 1999 - Camposol - Villa Fortuna

Family of 6 - July 2007

Dear Linda,

We have just spent a fantastic 2 weeks at the Villa Fortuna in Camposol. The villa itself was exactly like the pictures on the website. It was in immaculate condition and having a south-facing pool was brilliant. From when you got up in the morning till evening the sun was round the pool. Although the resort itself is massive sitting around the villa in the evening we found it to be very quiet and peaceful. This was the first time we have done a villa holiday and the 1st class, friendly service you provided from start to finish means that we wouldn't hesitate in doing it again. Penny and George (the keyholders) were brilliant and when we had a problem replacing the gas canister they were round straight away - a first-class service! We would certainly have no hesitation in recommending your company and would definitely book through you again. Many thanks once again for making our holiday a truly pleasurable one. Here's to the next one! Karen, Colin and the kids
