“Great Service”

Very friendly & helpful so far

Martin Anscombe

“Computer glitch perhaps”

I was unlucky perhaps but trying to book was not easy at all. Computer system appeared to be not working very well so it took a lot longer to book than it should have done. It appeared to be that the booking was done remotely (ie at someone’s home). Then I never received booking confirmation so had to chase it up as I was concerned and even then I did not receive the email so the confirmation was finally attached to my email and sent as a ‘reply’ I do not fault the staff at all as they were all helpful and polite.

Trusted Customer

“Easy to book on line”

Booked it on line which was easy but I had no interaction with any booking staff.
