El Roble Holidays » Canal http://blog.elrobleholidays.com Just another WordPress weblog Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:42:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Directory of Chester and Evening Leader have their say! http://blog.elrobleholidays.com/directory-of-chester-and-evening-leader-have-their-say/78/ http://blog.elrobleholidays.com/directory-of-chester-and-evening-leader-have-their-say/78/#comments Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:06:14 +0000 Sandra http://blog.elrobleholidays.com/?p=78 In the last week we are pleased to see there have been two blog posts about Chester Canalside Holidays on the Directory of Chester website.

The first blog on the Directory of Chester website credits us with our new Gold grading for our 4 star gold Wharton Lock Apartment - a great achievement to be chosen by Enjoy England as one of their very first Gold graded self catering holiday homes. In fact we are the only Gold award holiday home in Chester – something we are very proud of and it cant go unmentioned that we attribute part of our success to two Chester companies that work with us -  Poppies Cleaners, who keep the apartment immaculate, and Simon Tiplady, who provides us with website development and hosting for Chester Canalside Holidays.

The second blog by Directory of Chester is in support of self catering holidays and what city centre apartments can offer as a place to stay in Chester. Our luxury self catering apartment, 4 star GOLD Wharton Lock Apartment, is a fantastic alternative to a city centre hotel  and offers greater flexibility for family holidays in Chester or a romantic city break and this is backed up by our guests who enjoyed their stay in Cheshire.

Many thanks to Directory of Chester for both of the blogs!

However in all this we must mention the recent article  in the Evening Leader about our fantastic cleaning company Poppies, together with our award winning 4 star gold Wharton Lock Apartment.

Graham said it would never happen, but he hadnt taken into account the effect Lisa would have on him!!  

After years of him living at home and us chatting over breakfast and lunch about tweeks and changes to our websites it seems very strange to have to call him or chat on MSM about it. Despite this, we have managed a complete relaunch of our Chester Canalside Holidays website http://www.stayinchester.com we hope you like it. We have bookings for Wharton Lock Apartment right through to 2010 and have over a third of guests book a second, third or fourth holiday, so hopefully the new website will help us continue from strength to strength! 

On our last trip to Chester we enjoyed some wonderful sunny days with blue skies, so out came the camera and now we have some really lovely views on the website. Borrowing our 6 year old neice and giving her a loaf of bread to feed to the ducks certainly helped with the river and canal photos. 

Simon has really done a good job with the website, it looks so much brighter and behind the scenes we have a new backoffice system which makes our life a lot easier. So thanks again Simon for all your work. x x
