15 years ago our passion for exploration & adventure inspired us to begin writing a guidebook so that we could share our discoveries with guests. As these comments from our reviews reveal - it has all been worthwhile:

The huge plus of this house was "The Book" written by the owners. We have never been anywhere where we have been given such useful information and in such depth. This was a massive bonus to our holiday. Tricia H

The guide book published by the owner is fantastic, detailing many places to visit, wonderful swimming spots, restaurants & more. He is clearly determined to ensure that all guests have a fantastic holiday. He succeeded! Lucy from London

 

Nous avons combiné vacances culturelles et nature (cascade, rivière, belles promenades) grâce aux conseils de David et de son livre tellement utile. The Dejardin Family from Belgium

It's all aimed toward you enjoying your hard earned holiday to the max - not least thanks to David's amazing local guide book. Helen Lakin.

 

The success of our holiday was very largely due to the comprehensive area guide book published by the owners containing a wide range of things to do and see - we never needed to 'wonder where to go'! Sue Wedge Thomas

 

As many have said, the guide book is superb and the service and communication from the owners is friendly, helpful, and efficient....

 

The holiday guidebook which was provided proved to be invaluable, as it allowed us to discover some hidden gems. Michelle G

David has compiled an extremely detailed guidebook of the area with several itineraries for days out, restaurant suggestions and walks of varying lengths and provides this to guests free of charge prior to their arrival at Casa Bedrock. We relied on this guide (which in my opinion is as good as commercially available guidebooks) throughout the holiday to plan our activities which had the added benefit of allowing us to relax on an evening rather than scour the internet for things to do the next day. Simon Garner & family
