Loyd & Townsend Rose

"The group have now left the Castle and returned to their various homes across the world having enjoyed perhaps the most luxurious experience of their lives. The Castle was magnificent and the staff were quite simply superb. The food was tremendous and whilst we spent a little time beforehand choosing menus, the Castle delivered a truly culinary experience. To satisfy the taste buds of 16 different people, with different cultural backgrounds was quite an achievement, and Richard the Chef and his excellent team were more than up to the task.

Perhaps what stood out most of all was the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. Nothing at all was too much trouble and they did everything within their power to ensure that every detail was covered and each and every guest received the most satisfying experience. "
McCabe Group, Myres Castle, August 2009

"I could not wait until I return to the UK to write to you to thank you for your hard work, assistance and advice which went so far into making the stay at Lethendy amongst the most memorable experiences we have ever had.

We have travelled the world and have stayed in a variety of accommodations, but never have we experienced a better attention to detail and delivery of promises exactly as promised than we have experienced at the hands of your Company and you personally. Diane was absolutely thrilled with the floral arrangements, and every member of our family is still phoning us to tell us how wonderful everything  was. Every event which you helped us to arrange went wonderfully. The piper, my 'regalia', the ceilidh band, Edinburgh, the safari and the fishing ... all wonderful experiences."
Lane Family,The Tower of Lethendy, August 2009

"The trip was fun, informative and easy. We wished we could have had an extra night at Skibo and also at Kinnaird but you certainly helped us make the most of the time we had available. We felt lucky and spoiled to have such a good travel agent."
Jones Family tour of Scotland, July 2005

"You can search the web for hours or you can take my word and those of previous clients, the Amguid Crater Trek is in a class of its own. Way out in the remote Sahara beyond the reach of cars, its the real thing compared to the token excursions one gets in Morocco or Tunisia. And now after three seasons its been been refined to run on rails"
Saharan Expert Chris Scott leader of the Immidir Trek to the Amguid Crater Tour, Algeria January 2010

‘Thank you for your care, kindness, judgement, balance and efficiency in ‘handling – arranging – controlling’ forty two Boodles persons for the last twelve days!’

"After returning from holidays at Skinos and Santorini I shared the excellent experience with some of my friends. We all appreciate the same values and pleasure us the same things.  I shared my experience with Ms. Simona Dimic, Head of the Office of the Prime Minister as well as with Dr. Cvetka Drago and Dr. Sa'o Bari evi both from the Medical Center Barsos in Slovenia.

I highly recommended you, knowing that you will be able to advise on many unforgettable destinations in Greece. Please expect my friends to contact you."


"Renting deluxe vacation homes amywhere in the world is difficult at best but finding them in Greece is almost impossible-that is until I found Ileana and her company Five Star Greece. She has a roster of homes on the mainland and islands and her properties that are each one of a kind. I have never had a client who had anything less than great praise for the Five Star Greece experience. As a travel agent,Ileana makes the process of providing the best choices bases on the clients' needs painless. i wish all of my suppliers were as easy to work with as she."


"My husband and I are well traveled - we have been to the best of the best in many areas of the globe - but I have to be so true to tell you that this has been one of our very favorite most incredible holidays we have ever experienced - it was that incredible on every level -

so what can I say to you - thank-you seems to fall so short - but please know that through the hard work and professionalism of you and Patricia (who was such a delight to meet ) Caroline and Jackie you have given my family memories to last a life time and truly looking forward to our next visit to Greece - a magical journey"

Paul Pugh is a true gem. If he didn't exist, P.G. Wodehouse would have to come down from heaven and invent him. During my stays at the Savoy, with Paul at the helm there was never a hitch. No matter what I needed and when I needed it, Paul was always there to solve the problem, with finesse, grace, charm and a smile. There is no one who knows London - indeed all of England - better. And no one who can solve a problem faster. When visiting England, my family and I would never seek help from anyone but Paul. He's the tops.
Ken Ludwig - American Playwright

It gives me pleasure to relate that Paul Pugh was of considerable assistance to me on many occasions. I appreciated his service as well as his personality and I would always enjoy working with Paul again.
Maestro André Previn

Traveling to London becomes an absolute pleasure when Paul has made your arrangements. No challenge is too big or too small. Whether I have needed a table for two at some newly discovered restaurant, or found myself hosting distinguished visitors asking for last minute popular West End shows, I have yet to be told by Paul that it cannot be done and I am always pleased to hear the words ' everything is taken care of ' Paul is a true professional.
Andrew Law President & CEO, International Protector Group Ltd. Bahamas.

While I was writer-in-residence, Paul was the heart beat of the Savoy hotel. With grace,diplomacy,charm and discretion, he ran that huge ocean liner of a hotel superbly. He has a wonderful sense of humour, a happy disposition and a keen intellect, a man of great taste and style, not to mention a total stud muffin !

If we approached anyone with any request or question, their answer was: "Yes, of course". The food was amazing and the Chef was fantastic. Even the weather was beautiful in the last 4 days. The only regret which all of us have at the moment is that the vacation is over.”

Opus Jets

We have flown a number of times with Opus Jets and every experience has been a joy. Travelling on aircraft with four young children can be difficult, but having every detail taken care of before departure to our destination, and equally, for our return trip helped reduce the stress level substantially. Lisa has always made herself available to deal with every request and nothing is too much trouble or effort. As a result, we have booked a further two flights to different holiday destinations for later this year.
