Lounge Holidays are an absolute pleasure to deal with. Not to mention having a great selection of properties much cheaper than the likes of Air BnB. We've had a lot of ups and downs with Covid restrictions and whether our group booking could/could not go ahead this June. Reluctantly we've had to postpone it, but they could not have been nicer to deal with. I've booked another stay with them for my family and as my friends and I visit the area most years, I'll be sure to book with them time and time again. Thoroughly recommended!

Claire Tywenn was absolutely fantastic with organising our accommodation which was perfectly suited to all of our needs 👌 The apartment was modern, well equipped and just like home from home ❤ the added bonus… of been located on the seafront which my daughters loved as did myself and my husband 😁 the apartment was very spacious complete with TVs in lounge/dining room kitchen and all bedrooms and had a very much cosy atmosphere throughout we already cannot wait to return to stay here 👌
