Dear danshamptons.com,
My adult children take their own holidays away these days. This time last year I floated the offer of a week long break, together, anywhere out of the UK. The initial surprize soon gained momentum and quickly led to husband, daughter (29) and son (23) simultaneously and unanimously chosing New York, New York. Manhattan to be precise.
After hunting down some of the most sensational Manhattan abodes, and with only three weeks to lift-off, ‘The Hamptons’ entered the equation. We would need somewhere to ‘recover’ before flying back direct to Liverpool, England. I spent nearly the whole of the next three weeks on the internet searching for somewhere to stay in the Hamptons, for only three nights in July, not too far from JFK and not too close either.
Ordinary hotels en route, were full for those dates. I had almost given up. Our local Borders shop could not even supply a travel map including Long Island and the Hamptons. It was looking seriously like seven nights in Times Square until I stumbled across Dan’s -web-Pages around 2 am the week before leaving. A female reporter appeared in a video clip describing her favourite place in the Hamptons. It took a lot of searching through the website but thanks to Dan’s Pages carrying advertisements right through the Hamptons we were declared ‘in’ for our three nights at Westhampton.
Another lovely surprise straight from your pages was the Sunset Cafe at Westhampton, and in particular the friendly and helpful welcome we got from Gabrielle when we arrived new in town almost straight from Dan’s Pages. Three very happy days ensued before we re-emerged towards JFK and our Liverpool home replenished and well cared for.
Just a little thank you note!
Dorothy Lambert
