Groups in Hale

“I'd initially booked a two week jaunt to South Africa for my Dads 60th and after months of uncertainty we got the call that it couldn't go ahead. Despite this, Black Opal had stayed in touch throughout the entire experience, reassuring us that they would do everything in their power to make it happen. Alas, it was out of their hands. Black Opal quickly arranged an alternative trip to Murrayfield to at least watch the Lions on home soil and what a day it was, we saw all of the players board the buses prior to playing and a stellar 3 course meal with guest speakers. We had great seats and the atmosphere was as good as we could of expected. Black Opal accommodated a payment method they did not previously accept for me to pay for the entire trip and we got great rates for the initial trip to South Africa and the revised trip to Edinburgh. I'd not used a travel operator before, but I can assure you reading this and Black Opal I do not intend to go elsewhere ever again for sports excursions. Special mention to Ben Collis for the initial handling of my enquiry but my utmost thanks and appreciation goes to Kathryn Morris who was instrumental in the handling of our initial trip when it was in limbo and arranging our trip to Edinburgh. I cannot recommend this group enough.”

“Have always enjoyed first class service from this vets practice. Very friendly receptionists who will also give reassurance and advice over the phone, nothing is too much trouble. Wonderful vets, so caring with animals and humans alike. Well done and thank you for continued operations during COVID crisis, very professionally managed.”

“Again! We brought new friends here today whom came visit the UK from Hong Kong. Our visitors enjoy so much with the environment and food. The sushi rolls are impressive as always, rarely to have this quality sushi in the town.”

“I have no issues with catax. Without them, tax season would be far more difficult. What I liked about them was that they solved all my problems and kept in touch throughout.”

“Fantastic nurseries and after school clubs.”

“We were booked in to meet relatives for lunch. They were travelling and were massively late. La Famiglia couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. They kept our booth for us for the afternoon and wouldn't take payment for the drink we had whilst waiting until we returned later and they put it on the final bill. The service and food was fabulous when the family finally arrived. 100% will be going back.”

“Lovely food and even nicer staff. Highly recommended.”

“If you feel like reminding your taste buds how a great dinner taste like, you should definitely come here. The menu is an explosion of flavors and I enjoyed every single bit. The mélange of ingredients is astonishing. Great selection of wines, including a Sicilian Grillo which I enjoyed a lot. The service is punctual and polite ( I was helped by Rafael) and the bill surprisingly fair! I will come again whenever I can.”

“Great shop lovely owner”

“My child loves his lessons at little voices, the teachers are very nice . Thank you .”

“Lindsay is a brilliant therapist. Her approach towards your needs is thoughtful and empathetic. Lindsay helped me through a difficult time last year and I have come out stronger than ever. Every session was a pick me up, brush myself down and plan made for me to move forward. If you feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders with no one to talk to Lindsay can help with no judgement and practical REALISTIC advice throughout. She is smart as a whip and learned in all walks of life. I found it easy to talk to her about business, family, friends and my feelings. Overall I cannot thank Lindsay enough for all she has done for me, my family and my friends.”

“Dawn is a very easy and animated person to talk to. The sessions were a mix of informal (letting the discussion go deeper where needed) and formal (explaining steps / stages etc). I enjoyed the learning and the conversation. I would highly recommend Dawn.”

“Very homely run by joan & husband”

“Brilliant team, explained everything well, very professional work ethics. Highly recommended.”

“Wonderful breakfast …creamy scrambled eggs, nice tasty bacons, the staff was very friendly and helpful”

“We have been seeing Dr Oppenheim for the last 7 years. Our son was not attending school and had very high anxiety. Dr Oppenheim assessed and then diagnosed him with ASD and gave us step by step instructions and support to help him back into school. Which were successful. We have had appointments every 3 months without fail through the many ups and downs that come with school & teenage years. Dr Oppenheim has always been correct in her assessment and picked up on any issues we need to address. Her secretary has been amazing too especially when we have required urgent appointments by telephone or zoom. I have recommended Dr Oppenheim to many people because of her thorough assessment, caring but to the point discussions with my son and her ability to talk on his level. Her experience is invaluable.”
