Parking ok, it gets busy at weekends and school holidays but we usually always manage to park up, there are toilets on both ends of the park which is handy with small kids, the cafe is nice too, reasonably priced and good selection. We usually buy duck food from the cafe to feed the ducks with.”

I was apprehensive, and generally don’t go out for Sunday Dinner as it’s always a let down compared to eating at home, but this was actually great, the Chicken was cooked to perfection, great portions, fantastic bar staff, and service, thank you James and Lillia, and Styal is a wonderful place to visit I will definitely be back with the family”

“I’ve been going with this company for a number of years and have found them nothing but completely professional. I have stayed in various apartments around los Gigantes and have loved every one of them. We go back every year and THA have always been on hand to help with any issues. My kettle broke down and they provided another one the next day. The UK representative is always happy to help. Would definitely recommend.”

“Lovely place, having its own separate entrance, spacious room, very comfortable bed, clean and cosy, nice and quiet location. 5min walk from the village. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. We only stayed one night as we attended a wedding but we enjoyed our stay very much.”

“Excellent. Informative and prompt. When I had a problem they calmly help me through. Accommodating and brilliant problem solvers. Top drawer.”
