Foreign Perspectives

Our main busy season is, of course, in the Summer months when we don’t have school runs to do.

However, we generally get a bit of a jump in occupancy towards the end of September which takes us almost up to Summer levels. Snag is that we are also in the midst of school runs at that time which complicates scheduling no end.
