Guestbook for Quintamar
Dear Tamar and Miguel, Just to say a quick and MASSIVE thank you for a fantastic holiday on your idyllic farm! We all had an amazing week and will remember it forever. You are both great 'hosts' and made everything so utterly easy and comfortable for us. The houses are just so beautiful and so tastefully done up. Ms.Pilkington, august 2005
Dear Tamar, We just wanted to be in touch to let you know what a wonderful time we had at QuinTamar and to thank you and Miguel for being such lovely hosts. It was one of the most relaxing holidays we've ever had - not something we really expected with an energetic two year old! Rohan had a fantastic time and so loved being outside, playing with the toys, visiting all your animals and, most of all of course, playing with Gil and Abi. Liz and Vijay, June 2009
Dear Tamar, My family and myself would like to thank you for making us all so welcome at your wonderful property.

Sue and I would like to return to Quintamar next year and will be in touch with you shortly,again many thanks and best regards, Ewan Jamieson
