Claire & Ben are both true proffessionals, who are very approachable and have a wealth of knowledge of the Hospitality industry.

Prof Peter Jones

Excellent business operators - great to work with

Lindsey Gittins

We stayed at one of Claire and Ben's chalets for our ski holiday in March 2011. They are the perfect hosts who provide an extremely clean and beautiful chalet, and fantastic food and hospitality. They both have a vast knowledge of the surrounding areas and provide advice on what's happening and where to go, as well as weather forecasts each day. Would definitely recommend Claire and Ben and AktivExperience.
