Re: Beware of booking holiday cottages through trip advisor

All of the cottages have a visitors book that the agents read for adverse comments so that they can upgrade/downgrade the ratings accordingly for next year, so it's in the interest of the owners to be top notch.
No doubt I paid a few extra quid than you..but..you get what you pay for..peace of mind and a better, more relaxed, break away from home
Who needs trip advisor?
