Review of OVO


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Telephone contact as requested

Sam was clear and easy to understand his explanations re transferring the supply to the new property.
Unfortunately he was unable to give me a quote for dual fuel at the flat we will be moving into. This would have been helpful but, as promised, he emailed details of our conversation.

Finally cracked it.
Lovely member of Tesco’s staff stood by to see I’d done it correctly. Many thanks to her

Review of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines


Rated 4 out of 5 stars

First time on Balmoral

First time on Balmoral.
Looked tired and the cabin was in need of some TLC.
Cannot fault the staff and Guest Services prompt in addressing issues. Toilet either flushed numerous times or not at all. Plumber quick and courteous in dealing with this. Our mattresses were very thin and were changed within short period of time (Put this down to the thorough deep clean prior to boarding).
As usual entertainment a mixed bag as realise you have lots of different tastes to cater for. The films (in cabin) were a bit out of date.
Despair at some passengers who seemed to ignore captain's repeated requests to wash hands/use sanitisers. However we were fit and well throughout the cruise with the diligent cleaning by your crew to be praised.
We prefer Bolette and have changed our next cruise to this ship. Balmoral seemed very cramped in comparison.
Am coeliac and there was ample choice on the menus.
Again, cannot fault the ship's company. They made the cruise for us.

Although there was a bit of a delay

Although there was a bit of a delay, the logs arrived with an apology from the driver as weather conditions were dire that week. (arrived on a Sunday)
Emails were answered promptly but trying to phone is obviously a nonstarter as couldn't get through.
The discount was promptly added as I was a local customer when I pointed this out.

JUVELA always helpful and cheerful if I have to cancel an order.
Only problem is with carrier who takes the order away if not in. Even with instructions left. Can be problematic over weekend so bread left with them.

We always contact Caroline in the Ripon branch for holiday advice and she knows our preferences.
This time we rang her with our requirements and decided on a time to go into the branch to discuss. She had done her homework in advance so we didn't take too much time to choose and book.
The personal touch is so important these days...no bots to consult!!!!

Centrally situated flat in Buxton, Derbyshire

Clean, well appointed one bedroom flat near the centre of Buxton. Quiet with good parking so we left the car for most of our stay and used public transport.
Minor problem that the owners were apologetic about. It happened at the end of our stay and we decided to cope with it, instead of requesting assistance.
The area of Buxton in which the flat was situated was really interesting to walk around.
