I wish all on the Spanish forum a successful season, and hope that the economy moves in a better direction for us all soon. Thanks for all the interesting information on this forum that I have read with interest over s...

Bye Bye LMH
Sadly, yesterday we closed the door on our B+B small business for the final time.
I feel as though I have lost a limb!
As we no longer are involved in renting this a sad ´goodbye´ to all on LMH.

Due to the decision to close our B+B, we cancelled our S-H membership today. They are the only advertising site that offered to retain the outstanding fee we have paid in case we ever decide to register with them again; we had just paid 12 months renewal - actually wasn´t due until next week - with ...

We have been with Spain-Holidays for many years and they always performed well for us. Sadly though, this past 18 months they have bought no interest - just a few enquiries from people looking for a cheap deal - so we will not be renewing when our ad expires in September. We have also just failed to...

We registered with Media Hols last month when we decided not to renew our OD ad. We have had several enquiries and 2 bookings in the past 3 weeks from Media so are very pleased so far. Will not be renewing Spain-Holidays in September - they used to be excellent for us but have failed to perform at a...

People expecting for a last minute discount - I blame TV and call it the ´Bargain Hunt´ effect where nobody ever expects to pay full price; you don´t have to give a discount but can´t blame people for asking. To be honest I don´t think you did yourself any favours by asking what their budget was - i...

The rain on Friday and Saturday was, without doubt, the worst we have ever experienced in our 10 years here. Unbelievable! Luckily we have escaped unscathed apart from a trench that developed down one of the garden banks and deposited all its earth at the bottom of our steps. Took some clearing up! ...
