”The Williams Family, Hertfordshire | November 2020, Trustpilot - Stayed at The Yellow CottageBecause of Covid I had to transfer my 70th birthday celebrations with the family to January next year. Lindsay was fantastic, she was calm, empathic but very professional. She kept me informed of all the steps that were taking place. I would like to thank Lindsay and the owners for their understanding. I cannot praise Perfect Stays enough for setting my mind at rest and sorting out a very stressful situation.
