TESTIMONIAL

01750 725480

"I wanted to thank you both for giving me opportunity to advertise in your Border Events booklet. This has been hugely successful for us here at Beirhope Alpacas and has secured us a number of bookings both for our treks but also the special events which we have advertised with you. The time you both took in the initial visits to meet us and to promote our business on Social Media has been greatly appreciated. Your booklet is very popular with a number of our visitors taking one away with them, keen to explore the things on offer here in the Borders. I look forward to continuing to work with you and to expand our advertising with you as our accommodation opens next year”. Lynne Jobes, Beirhope Alpacas.
