The Accommodation
Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?
The accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and well-designed, with a nice amount of privacy. The pool was lovely and a perfect way to recover after a long ride. The food was excellent without exception, and very generous. We tried pretty much everything on the menu and enjoyed it all. All of the team at Velani worked really hard to make sure we had a good stay.
Before Your Holiday
Did you have all of the information you needed to:
How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?
The information was excellent thank you, and I appreciated your helpful responses to my questions and changes of plan.
How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?
I think it was good. Maybe a more modern payment system would be even better, as I'm not used to paying for things via BACS, but it wasn't really a problem.
Sophie (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Brilliant memorable week of riding in the Cretan mountains | I had a wonderful week at Velani and everything was as I'd hoped for. Amazing scenery, sunny weather, and a sure-footed and responsive horse which was a pleasure to ride. We got some good stretches of canter in most of the rides, although the terrain is very hard and rocky so there was a lot of walking too - good opportunity to look around and take photos though. The horses know their job and I enjoyed the riding a lot. [ITS replies: thank you for lovely feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay!]
