You have such a cool site - it is great to be rubbing shoulders with such fantastic accommodation

Dr Greg Stevenson, Under The Thatch, Wales

When you said you had contacts in the national press we didn't know what to expect, but here we are a few weeks down the line with a pleasing review in the Guardian, all thanks to you.

Heather Robinson, 10 George Street, England

The depth, breadth and generosity of advice from the Editor has a value far greater than the listing price. Thank you for sharing!

Judith Abraham, The Lux Pod, England

We would just like to say what a nice site and service you offer your clients. We have had several visitors referred to our website from Holiday Pad inquiring about our treehouse in Costa Rica for which we thank you.

Paul & Jeanne, Junglavista, Costa Rica

The success of your blog shows that travellers are definitely searching for new inspiring travel ideas! Keep on the good work!

Petra, Ipanema Loft, Brazil

Well and truly tuned into to the fact that people are bored with hotels that are just, well, hotels. We want cabins! Treehouses! Converted post offices! Windmills! Caves! Holiday Pad has a knack for finding them.
