Guestbook for The olde Laundry
What a lovely place, not really a home from home because it's much better than ours, !! At the risk of repeating what so many other guests have said, this place is so well equipped ! you've thought of everything, it has a lovely atmosphere, and will definitley have no hesitation recommending it to everyone. Brian and Linda
We have had a wonderful holiday, here in this superb accommodation, loved every moment, It is the best self-catering holiday we have had, and we have been having this type of holiday for many years. Sue and Ivor.
This is our third holiday here, and everything is just as good as the first. A perfect place to unwind and relax. we have always been to self catering cottages for the last twenty nine years, but this beats all of them. Jan and Mick
A magical christmas The olde Laundry was glowing with fairy lights and decorations and despite the wet weather outside , there were no grey days inside. Mr Mrs. Johnson
Our second visit and, once again apart from weather, nothing could be bettered, we even had mum duck and 8 ducklings waddling by to be fed. it really is a haven of peace here. It really is home from home, a five star rating would not be enough.
Derdre and Frans
