Hello Barry
Thanks for all the info.
You were asking were we referred by other Londonderry folk, but, no we weren't. Actually, it was your write up on the website that did it for me - that, and all the great reviews you were given on the site too! On the website you sounded like you really made an effort for your house guests, and so far with us that has been true too.
The cheque is in the post.
Many thanks,
Julie Limavady. Co. Londonderry. N.I. 27th November 2008.

Hi Barry & Jenny
Firstly, a very big thank you to you both for renting your beautiful Townhouse to us. We had a fantastic holiday and the house was just perfect.
The situation of the house, opp the communal pool was great and the closeness to the rear access gate was also good as we used this gate frequently.
Everything about the house was very positive, the decoration, the availability of everything we needed etc. Would definately use you again.
Thanks again

Hello Barry yes we are back safe and sound and thank you the house was great. The only improvement would be on the weather which neither of us could have changed. John was happy in the Irish bar on a night complete with his cigar, they all loved the golf. Thank you again .
Regards from Susan, John ,Stephanie and Philip.

Barry was a wonderful and polite person to deal with, extremely helpful with every aspect even helping with the best flight deals and car hire.
The Town house was beautiful and we booked twice that year as we were both that impressed with the townhouse.
The house itself was amazing with all the mod cons you could ask for and all furniture was that of 100% luxury and top quality.
We both felt that Barrys house was in the best loaction on the complex as it was right overlooking the largest pool on the resort, also the tennis courts were right outside (barry even has tennis rackets for use) and the golf par is also just outside to the left.
The resort is amazing for a lovely peacefull holiday with all beautiful beaches and places of interest just a short drive away.
Eveything you can ask for is on this resort and by far Barrys townhouse is beyond superb.
Like i say we booked in june last year and also september and will certainly be booking again this year without a doubt.
Thanks again Barry for giving us the chance to take advantage of such a lovely place.
Andy and Heather.
ANDY AND HEATHER HAVE JUST BOOKED 11 DAYS IN EARLY SEPTEMBER.

Hi Barry!
Thankyou for returning the cheque which arrived this morning.
We both throroughly enjoyed our holiday in no small part due to the resort and the house.
La Torre itself has been beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained. Indeed standing in the middle of the golf course by the lake on a sunny evening most of my Spanish family found it hard to believe they were in Murcia - it seemed more like Florida!
The house itself is nicely designed and furnished very comfortably in excellent taste. We found it a delight to return to at the end of a long day's touring. I would go so far as to say that it the nicest house we have rented in many years.
All in all a very enjoyable experience which lived up to and indeed surpassed the original description.
Many Thanks,

Hi, Barry
Our holiday was fantastic, the weather was beautiful, we managed to all fit in your house without too much organising!
Your house was lovely and as described, the position being very good for us as we spent most of our time around the pool which the children loved and played tennis a fair bit too!
I did move your breakables out of harms way when we arrived and placed them back in position before we left, thought it better to be safe than sorry with little fingers around!
We did tell vanessa about the zip on one of the cots being broken which she said she would email you about as this is how we found it, we managed to push it close up to the wall so we didnt need to bother her with getting another one sorted (seeing as you had kindly paid for the extra one yourself)
We would love to go and stay again hopefully in september (after the children have gone back so the flights will be cheaper!) so perhaps you could let us have any dates that you have available and we can check flights etc.
Thanks again for letting all of us stay in your lovely house.
Kind Regards

Hi Barry
We had such a good time on holiday. We really enjoyed our stay. The weather was fabulous, very hot sometimes reaching 37c The accommodation was excellent, very spacious furnished to a high standard. The house is very well situated within easy reach to Mercia, Cartegena and the beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time on the roof terrace.Everything we needed was on hand, supermarket,restaurants, tennis courts, bike riding. We would thoroughly recommend it to any of our friends and look forward to staying again next year.
regards

Hi Barry
We all had a wonderful holiday, thank you.
Your house was fantastic, and I wouldn't hesitate in staying there again.
It's likely that a friend and I would be interested in a 3 night break in October (before half term), so we will check your availability, prices etc once we decide on dates.
Many thanks.

Dear Barry,
Fantastic holiday thankyou. The Resort and your townhouse were perfect. The facilities of the resort were great ie Golf course superb restaurants and swimming pools I think theres around 20 on the resort and the free tennis on your doorstep. The weather was marvellous not a cloud in the sky for 2 weeks and the rooftop terrace was used everyday. You should be very proud of your holiday home and most importantly the resort is finished unlike many of the others where work seems to have stopped due to the reccession. The cost of your townhouse is very very reasonable at £325 a week even for just the 2 of us whereas theres plenty of room for 4 people comfortably making it a very cheap 5 star holiday. Would reccommend El Valle course for a change superb high desert course cost of 30 euros after 3pm same as La Torre and just 15 mins up road .Also must mention the great beaches at La Kanazaries 20 mins away and the very welcoming sea breezes in the heatwave. Could go on and on but you have probably heard it all before .Thanks for your personal service advice and your present for my 60th. Very much appreciated. Will not hesitate in contacting you again for a simply great stay in sunny spain.

Barry and Jenny
Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful home. The house was spotless with all mod cons, so handy with kids but I think the most important aspect of this house is its wonderful position on La Torre. It looks over a lovely pool, which was never crowded. A wonderful 1st floor balcony, gives great privacy for sunbathing and you can keep careful eye on the kids in the pool. La Torre is a very relaxing resport and we look forward to when we can return. Barry is a great owner, full of local knowledge and always there for any queries.
Very Best wishes from
Margaret, David, Jack and Sinead. Londonderry Northern Ireland.
Speak soon Barry, Best Wishes and thanks to Jenny

Barry,
We had an excellent holiday and were most impressed with everything regarding the house, location and complex which was much larger with more going on than we expected.
We would love to book again but cant yet as our children are doing GCSE and a levels next year and we dont know the dates for exams etc. As soon as have they key dates we will be in touch to check availability.
Improvements None, everything you need for a holiday was there and dont believe you have to do anything.
Thank you once again for all your updates and information prior to the holiday, it was very much appreciated and would happily act as a reference for your villa if requested.

Hello Barry,
Just a quick note to say thanks for all the arrangements at La Torre.
The golf arrangements in particular worked extremely well, no problems at all,
all bookings and pre-payments confirmed and 3 very enjoyable rounds of golf completed.
Rita made herself known on day 1 and was very helpful, providing the girls with directions to a nearby shopping mall
whilst we were golfing and also provided some restaurant recommendations.
With average temperatures of 25/26C at mid day and half a day of cloud amidst pure sun there were certainly no complaints about the weather either.
What a shame we had to spoil it all by coming home :-))))
Once again, many thanks for your outstanding help.
Peter Russell. 30th October 2009.
