Aurigacrown Malaga
Travelers beware this company is just outright taking the mick! If you are unfortunate enough to book in with this outfit expect to wait for 1 hr in a cue to find the receptionist shutting the cue down and walking off without an explanation. Some companies that get the best deal for you will use Aurigacrown and you wont find out until you have paid!

This was our first and last experience:aurigacrown car hire
A family carrying a baby was verbally abused then ignored after cuing for the same time.. disgusting!
Basically the staff are overworked and just don’t care.

There are many other reputable companies .. stick with those and smile as you pass that 1 hr Aurigacrown cue.

Giancarlo Girometti has established an excellent little restaurant specialising in Italian food such as Pasta, Pizza, salads, Fish and Meat.

Special Diets are no problem and Gluten free spaghetti was made for me in 15 minutes – excellent!
If you are in and around Ashbourne treat yourself to an authentic Spaghetti Bolognese or Spaghetti Bolognese with meatballs.
Good food and a friendly service second to none.
Recommended!

Review: Finowe cottage- Flowergate- Whitby
I recently stayed at this accommodation and here are my observations:

They required a £50.00 bond ( this was then withheld without communication, due to a pen/crayon mark on a single sheet)
£339.00 for 6 days. Not £400.00 = £61 overcharged.
The stairs were dangerous due to loose carpet offcuts laying around.
No towels, these had to be bought in when we arrived.
No dishwasher as described on the website.
Dirty cooking utilities left in cupboards.
Heating not working in bathroom (with old sign do not use!)
No table to eat from.
Cramped living space.
Not suited to children at all.

Basically we had to threaten to take the owner to court to refund our deposit, which she did almost immediately, Beware!

Finowe cottage- Flowergate- Whitby
Whitby is famous for its fish and chips.
We were unfortunate as we had to book this accommodation as most other places were full due to several festivals happening and the half term holidays for schools. On the upside you can get Gluten free fish and chips in several chippies here.
