What Our Guests Say

We are always receiving feedback from our guests – and spend much of our time reacting to comments made or problems found at the houses we manage. Most understand that in such wonderful but individual properties issues can occur. We always feel it is how we try to avoid these issues, and then how we react to minimise these problems, that really differentiates us.

And many of our guests agree.

We provide the housekeeping for all but 2 of our houses and are involved with managing and solving problems – we are much more in touch than most, and ensure problems are rectified as soon as possible. We think our guests notice the difference.

Below is a selection of feedback we have received from guests over the last few years. We hope they tell a story!

Trephyl – Jul – 23 –  I am emailing you to say how impressed I was by the Housekeeper letting me in at 3 pm. It made all the difference and I was very grateful, I also want to say how spic and span the house looked. So nice to meet them and they did do the most lovely clean so please thank them.  

Trelyn – Jul – 23 – Thank you for organising us and for all your helpful communication. We were relatively late with making our plans, but delighted how it turned out!

Booby’s Bay Cottage – Jul – 23 – Also wanted to say how lovely the housekeeping team were when they arrived at 10 yesterday. They were charming and patient as we gathered our last few things together! Thanks for everything. See you next year!

Bosporthennis – Nov-12 – Thank you for your friendly hassle free service, a great company to deal with.

Brambles – May-21- We found the house very well prepared and we really appreciated getting in just after 4pm. I have separately thanked Jo Lee. If I was being really picky one of the gates was unusable and the garden table and chairs could do with a deep clean and stain and varnish. Your caretaker Phil Colwill visited promptly and cheerfully to refix the washing line and the other gate.

Gortheren – July-21 – The raintree service from the beginning right through to the holiday has been superb, All staff are very helpful and Accommodating.

Trenley – Mar-19 – Comfy, cosy, perfect Trenley! Thank you for a lovely stay! Sad to be going home. Thanks to the house keepers, spotlessly clean

Trenley – Dec-19 – As usual the standard from Raintree House was exceptional and Trenley is a lovely house. The only negative is that there wasn’t a hair dryer provided!

Trenley – Jul-20 – A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY, AS ALWAYS, THE HOUSEKEEPING STAFF HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB AND WE FEEL VERY PRIVILEGED TO BE ABLE TO STAY IN THIS BEAUTIFUL AREA.

Trenley – Jul-20 – It was a fantastic holiday thank you. I know there is not much you can do about this but thought it worth mentioning in case Raintree Holidays thought it worth noting on the house notes that if guests prepare fresh fish and seafood (which is understandable since we are right next to the sea and it is delicious! ) that they ensure they dispose of fish skins and scales etc appropriately and are mindful of future guests. I don’t want this to come across as a complaint against Raintree Holidays though because our whole family think your service and attention to detail and care for your customers is absolutely FANTASTIC.

Trenley – Dec-20 – I would like to thank raintree, the cleaners and the owners (who left early so we could come). Who made our holiday even possible. The whole booking process, emails with info etc were well co-ordinated. The house was cleaned beautifully at the very last minute! And we were even left tea and cake. The owners were fantastic for giving up their holiday to ensure we could have ours. The house itself was absolutely perfect. Every facility was there and working. The kitchen was amazingly equipped. The tennis court was fun. It was like being to another world where covid did not exist. The views from the house itself and the cliff top walks to walking the dog over the beautiful sandy bay made it perfect. I wish it didn’t have to end and return to reality. What could have made your holiday better this year? Please let us know below. No one and nothing could have made our holiday any better, we are extremely grateful.

Trenley – Apr-21 – You were all really helpful and made it very easy. I have been many times to Trenley over the years as it’s owned by my distant family but it was easier booking it through you. Many thanks. It was clean and tidy. My sister has also booked through you in the past in Trevone and enjoyed it a lot. Thanks again!

Trenley – May-21 – We were delighted with our stay at Trenley last week. Everything was immaculately clean and the house very well maintained. We love it there so much and cant wait to return!

Trenley – Jul-21 – Dear Raintree, Thanks again for all your efficient and helpful organisation. Please can we just pass on two comments regarding the house. 1. The vacuum cleaner is really not good and when we came to use it found it pretty useless. 2. The fridge is on the small side for a party of 8 people for a week. Otherwise, we are so grateful for the opportunity to stay in such a special house and situation. With out thanks and best regards.

Trenouth – Sep-19 – Thank you, fabulous week, really helpful staff when we had queries.

Trephyl – Jun-19 – Booking arrangements all went very smoothly. It feels reassuring to be dealing with agents who are so locally based. Suggestions for improvements – it would make a big difference to be able to get into the house at 4pm rather than 5pm, after a long journey.

Trephyl – Jul-19 – As usual your service is impeccable – thank you.

Trephyl – Aug-19 – We returned home from Trephyl today, having had the most wonderful week. Thank you! We only discovered Raintree last year, but have been so impressed with your properties, their cleanliness and the service. We had a super time and enjoyed the space and views enormously. As I said in the earlier email, we hadn’t found Raintree until last year but are so glad we have. Holidaying time is tight as a family and knowing everything is going to be clean, well supplied and ready to go makes us relax from the moment we got there. The cake helps too and my husband and son certainly snaffled it out as soon as we arrived. The Sunday to Sunday changeover made for easy journeys and leaving at 11.30 was a treat too. Huge and grateful thanks.

Trephyl – Jul-20 – Thanks to you and your team for a really lovely stay. The house was fantastic.

Trephyl – Jul-21 – As for Raintree – having been on so many of Porthcothan house in the 36 years I have been coming I can assure you I know all about the cleaning and servicing of the houses! ANd what I am about to say is absolutely the truth. Your service is faultless except for our slight disagreement about the 7pm availability which you solved beautifully and I was also so please with our caretakers quick response to lack of hot water twice etc etc and the use of the deep freeze which we could not have done without.

Trevelyan – Apr-21 -. We have always been pleased with the quality of service provided by Raintree and appreciate the standard of communication throughout our bookings that we have made. We shall be in touch,

Trevethan House – May-19 – Great location, fabulous big house for a large family holiday. Beautiful views of the beach, well equipped kitchen. Difficult entrance into drive! Mobility issues for the less agile. Had a great time thank you for all your help. Raintree have done us proud again. Hope to see you in August

Treyarnon Point – Oct-21 – Firstly your company was so easy to contact, always friendly and helpful and quick to respond to any queries. As for Treyarnon Point what an incredible house and location. 

Tristan – Aug-21 – We had a fantastic holiday and thought that the accommodation and service from all the team at Raintree was excellent, no improvements required!

West Farthing – Oct-20 – We thought the house was great – very well-equipped and great set-up for our family. We loved it! Even with all the complications of this year Raintree have been so helpful and it has all been smooth running. Hopefully if we come back next year it will be a bit more normal for everyone.

White Walls – Jun-19 – I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the great standard of our accommodation. The information provided in the lead up to the trip was faultless. Everything at White Walls was as described and all our needs were catered for. Thank you again and we will definitely use Raintree in the future.
