Cachet Travel Traveller Reviews

Hotel and location surpassed all expectations. Fabulous views, friendly and charming owner and staff. A very relaxing time.

Cachet Travel - Hotel and location well described, helpful and efficient both during booking process and confirmation of travel. Excellent resort representative (Dawn Jackson).

Having fallen in love with the wonderful & dramatic Canary Islands since a visit to Lanzarote in the 1990s, it has become my personal ambition to see ALL of the 7 main islands. I recently completed a visit to certainly the most inaccessible and challenging island, namely El Hierro. When people asked me in advance where I was going, and I replied "El Hierro"....everyone looked bemused. "Where?", they replied. Well, it's a hidden gem, well worth discovering. Statistically, it is the smallest and 'youngest' (historically) of the Canaries. Smaller than the Isle of Wight, but with a volcanic ridge rising to 1500 metres (almost 5000 feet) across the centre. There are only 3 petrol stations and just a couple of hotels providing more than B&B. There are no direct flights going there from UK: you either need a ferry from Tenerife or, as I did, use the thoroughly delightful Binter Canarias inter-island flights (72-seater, twin-propeller planes!) from Tenerife North or Gran Canaria Las Palmas. No mainstream/household-name package holiday companies feature it as a destination. Only 2 specialist, independent agents do, namely Cachet Travel in London (which I used) and the other serves seasoned hikers/walkers (which I am most definitely not!). I am just back from a thoroughly memorable experience. I knew, from copious research, that the scenery was going to be dramatic....but, within a day, the reality proved to be much better. So, 2900 photos (on 2 cameras) later and 1100 kilometres driving & sightseeing (even the car hire company was stunned at my mileage!!), I can say it was a perfect success. Couldn't have achieved it without Cachet Travel, and I do mean that. If I had tried to book each facet of the holiday myself online, it would definitely have gone horribly wrong. Only one and a 'half' Canary Islands still to see comprehensively. And they are quite easily reached. Bring it on!

Thoroughly professional, which is a rarity today in my opinion. Friendly, efficient/well-organised. And highly knowledgeable about the destinations they serve. They claim to serve "discerning travellers". And that's exactly what they do with the optimum efficiency. Cachet Travel is their name. A most appropriate name!

From start to finish everything went to plan. Excellent greeting at airport, efficient transfers and a wonderful b and b. Views perfect, breakfasts delicious, room and gardens tranquil. Position central and convenient. Highly recommended

All arrangements went to plan and agent very friendly. transfers excellent and on ti,e

We were a group of friends who rented two villas in Pendamodi on Crete. Car hire was included. The location was great, in a very small village and with superb views. Each villa was beautifully furnished and had its own pool. Great walking in the area and Knossos was an easy drive.

Every aspect was excellent - very helpful rep at the airport, free upgrade of hire car, very clean, well furnished villa, generous welcome pack, lovely owner on hand

Casa de Hilario on Lanzarote is the best place for a quiet luxury holiday ( Bed and Amazing classy and stylish, five star (in our humble opinion) Guesthouse (Bed and Breakfast)in a select house with a very small pool (despite being told to take towels we were provided with them...little annoying when luggage space precious with budget airlines) and exceptionally well behaved clientele. Not for families but for those who like the good things in life and a luxury breakfast on the terrace and quiet corners to relax and unwind. Service and care outstanding and room great. (Pity no air conditioning though and we had to go and buy a fan...only for owner to present one a few hours later !) Superb standards and the added advantage of being met at airport, taken to car, then lead to the Casa by the representative. Location on island ideal and away from dreadful coastal developments and crowds. Without this outstanding property and the care shown by Cachet Travel the trip would have been a disaster! Thank you so much Cachet Travel...now please expand your European holiday areas to include Mallorca, Corsica etc. for us, the discerning tourist! Would Definitely use you again and highly recommend you for those who want quality and high standards, away from the noise and crowds. How refreshing that a Company like you still exists these days...and does not charge the earth !

Caring, efficient and full of surprises...e.g. we didn't realise that we would be taken to our car at the airport and then lead to our hotel by the representative. They made a call later in the week to check all was OK. What standards! Based on our experience we can trust Cachet travel.

Excellent location and self-catering accommodation in Buganvilla apartments in San Agustin, Gran Canaria

We travelled independently. Local rep was very helpful.

Much as I would like to keep the wonderful Mandarin and Mango hotels in Turkey a secret haven for my own personal use, I owe it to Cachet Travel to comment on our wonderful holiday experience in this delightful area. This gem of a hotel located in a peaceful hamlet surrounded by woodland and meadows is ideal for total relaxation with the option of good walking if you feel so inclined. The accommodation is superb, the traditional Turkish food exceptional and the staff very welcoming and friendly. We shall certainly be using Cachet Travel again and in particular returning to Turkey.

Efficient, knowledgable and friendly service.

La Graciosa, off Lanzarote. Apartment on harbour, excellent views, superb restaurants/cafes/bakery. Beautiful beaches, walking, weather ideal. Second visit and will go again - ideal to get away from it all with no crowds.

All about experience cannot be faulted as they researched anything further asked about. One big no-no is the airline used Thomson (737), last time it was much better - EasyJet. Thomson is too cramped and even staff find working arrangements difficult. Poor.

A week self-catering on La Graciosa - Vista Mar apartment. All the travel arrangements including connections and ferries went like clockwork. The accommodation was clean, spacious and well equipped. Plenty of exercise walking to a string of unspoiled beaches. Unless you fish or dive all you can do is chill. We don't fish or dive so it suited us perfectly. Friendly locals, a selection of places to eat and drink. Very good quality food at great prices. There's couple of supermarkets, a good bakery which also has great ice-cream and a bank with an ATM.

Efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Good communication and accurate descriptions. The whole trip was hassle free.

Tenerife is a good holiday destination and staying on the North east side of the island was more interesting, away from the big hotels. However, the weather was not great on this side of the island in March so a car was essential for sun - seeking in the South.

As usual, Cachet Travel have supplied a great holiday. All very easy and hassle free. Good company for less "touristy" holidays.
