1. Tell us about Millie’s Holiday Home
The home belonged to my parents, and my mum was the last to pass.
My mum was called Millicent, so we decided the holiday home should be a 'nod' to her, hence Millie’s Holiday Home.
2. And what makes you different?
We are foster carers and wanted to make sure that family members of all ages felt included when staying in our home.
The property includes a full size pool table, bar football table and a full size arcade game that will keep the children (and adults) entertained for hours.
Outside we have childrens play equipment, a large decking area with the added facility of a beautiful wood burning hot tub.
3. How long have you worked with Bookster?
We joined Bookster in 2023.
4. What did Millies Holiday Home need when you were getting started?
The house fully renovated from top to bottom, I don’t think it had been decorated or updated since the 1980s.
It took us around 12 months to fully renovate, update and furnish to the standard it is now.
5. What features of our product have helped Millies Holiday Home?
The support from your fabulous team was invaluable, and without the calendar to help synchronise the channels, we would be at a total loss.
6. What have you been most impressed with?
The support from the team, this has been by far beyond what we expected.
7. So what’s next for Millies Holiday Home?
We hope to build on our customer base with families who are looking for what Millies offers.
8. How can a guest book a stay with you?
We have a Bookster instant website page, where you can make direct bookings.
