Quick initial response & then considered advice on the trip. Confirmed the details by e-mail.

Sean, 5 Dec 2024

Good service on our 4th Headwater booking.
However booking an extra night in our first hotel was going to be a lot more expensive than if we booked independently on the hotel website. One wonders whether the hotels raise their charges for companies like Headwater with the extra cost borne by the traveller.
