Tamar Valley Cottages wins Certificate of Excellence

24/5/2017

What a month we've had!  On the 1st May, we were selected by Theo Paphitis as a winner of Small Business Sunday - the week afterwards, we were chosen by BrightPig as their Business of the Week -  and today we learned that one of our cottages has received a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor.  Treneglos cottage, which gained the accolade, has unanimous excellent reviews, and as with all the cottages we make sure we respond to enquiries in a timely and courteous manner.  It's even more rewarding to us, as TripAdvisor is only a small fraction of our overall bookings, and yet clearly we've done enough to receive this recognition.  We hope it is the first certificate of many!
