A really great, fun loving family, not least Monty and Millie the two glorious retrievers! Michael and his wife were relaxed and laid back on the one hand and extremely conscientious on the other. As previously agreed, additional friends and family came and went during the holiday and from all I gathered everyone had a great time. For us it was a pleasure to know that the house was full of babies, children, parents and dogs all having fun which is as it should be. No hesitation whatsoever in recommending the family and dogs to other hosts although I rather hope they come back to us whenever they want!

Absolutely wonderful guests, all three generations, all polite, friendly and easygoing. Tom was a star from start to finish including repairing the slow puncture on the inflatable slide which was, and still is, much appreciated. And it was sheer joy to return to a home so very clean and tidy for which a huge thank you to one and all. 10 out of 10 all round. Come back!!

The ultimate booking from the ultimate guests. When a guest takes one look at the sit-on mower and says "That looks like fun, are you happy for me to cut the grass?" ("Er, yes!!") and your cleaning lady texts you after the first week to say "The house is immaculate, there's nothing for me to do" you know your home is in reassuringly safe hands. Add to which, Andy and his wife, as well as Stanley the dog, really were the most friendly, polite, laid back yet evidently conscientious and helpful couple I have met in a long time that it was a genuine pleasure to have made their acquaintance and to have had them stay in our house for six whole weeks. It was all the better for it for which a huge THANK YOU!

Amazing guests; cool, calm and collected at all times and in spite of the excruciating heat! From start to finish David was forever polite, friendly and helpful which other hosts will agree is always greatly appreciated. David and family left our home extremely clean and tidy together with a variety of ice lollies and ice creams in the freezer; the perfect “returning home present” for all of us! Thank you David and family for being such wonderful guests and do come back whenever you want. Best wishes to you all, Michael.

Dear Fellow Hosts, I am going to keep this as simple and matter of fact as possible. I leave it to you to make any judgments of your own. My family have been accused by this guest of living in a house, our family home, in which "ALL THE COUCHES AND CHAIRS SMELL STRONGLY OF CAT URINE AND WE HAD TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE KITCHEN AS THERE WERE MOUSE DROPPINGS ON EVERY SURFACE". Such an accusation is not only untrue but deeply insulting. Herewith the facts: 1. NO CATS LIVE IN THIS HOUSE if only because I AM HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO CATS. On any given day you CAN see at least five cats roaming our gardens and grounds in search of mice, moles, baby rabbits, a drink from the pool, etc.. but not one of those five cats lives in this house.   2. We have seven sofas, seven armchairs and twenty six table chairs, a total of 40 pieces of furniture ALL OF WHICH SMELL STRONGLY OF CAT URINE, without any of us knowing it and with no cats in the house. Really?! 3. Of course we have the odd mouse in our house, we live surrounded by fields of them, literally, and they certainly keep the cats happy, outside, who eat them! The fact that we DO have the odd mouse in the house is further evidence that we DO NOT have any cats in the house!! 4. Magalie, our cleaning lady, has OCD and is French. She is proud of both, which is why I employ her. As ever, she joined me for four hours on the day our guests arrived to deep clean the kitchens, bathrooms, loos, etc. which is why I am certain that no mouse droppings were present in our kitchen, let alone ON EVERY SURFACE, on the day our guests arrived. A few days later may well have been a different story but not on the day they arrived. For the record I did email the guest asking for an explanation of her horrific claim but never received a reply.  In the interests of transparency and openness I had also hoped to attach a screenshot of our guest's entire review but according to VRBO Guests are allowed to upload photos attached to their review but Hosts are not!! That doesn't sound fair to me, at all. If you manage to find it do have a read, it's worth it particularly the punchline right at the end!! Frankly, none of the review makes any sense but make of it what you will bearing in mind its overall credibility in light of all the above.   In my view, this guest is a genuine potential risk to the reputation of hosts and we are proof of just that. If nothing else you, my fellow hosts, have been warned. Yours sincerely, MA

Robert and his family, including their magnificent dog, were wonderful guests from start to finish. Very cool and easy going at all times and very respectful of our home, leaving it as they found it, clean and tidy, which was as ever much appreciated and for which many, many thanks. No hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to other hosts albeit I hope they come back to us!!

Best guests ever (and the bar was already high) who are welcome back any time with open arms.  Frédéric was a pleasure to communicate with at all times. He and his family were incredibly polite and friendly which is always reassuring when you are leaving your home to guests you have never met before their arrival. They followed all our House Guidelines to the letter and left our home incredibly clean and tidy for which we were very grateful. I would recommend Frédéric and his family to other homeowners without hesitation.

Wonderful guests who are welcome back any time!  Francois, his family and friends were very cool, fun and friendly even when the pool turned green for two days in the middle of a heatwave. Not all guests would have been so polite in the circumstances whereas they were the epitome of tact and diplomacy whilst we solved the problem.    They followed all our House Guidelines in full and left our home very clean and tidy for which we were very grateful. Would recommend one and all to other homeowners without hesitation.
