Debs I used a CSI (Scenes of Crime officer) from work who went to my place free of charge for a week and took photos while he was there. I'm sure he played golf and drank beer as well !!! He charged us for the flights only but not sur what he's currently up to. If you'd like to see the photos, some ...

If you ever need anything correcting so it is correct in English, let me know and I'll help you out.

If I ever need anything in Italian, I'll let you know.

So did I? You can tell by the poor grammar that he's not from round here!!! Our enquiry came via huureenhuisje.nl/ I didn't know I was advertising with them, but apparently I am !! It's my wording in the ad but I definitely never visited there before. Anyone any idea how it got there? It appears to ...

Holiday Lettings - Half price offer

I've just received this offer from HL. I don't intend taking them up on the offer, but if I was nearing the end of my time with them and knew this, I would just wait for this offer rather than renew automatically. I'm not recommending you renew, but if you are, wait a month for this e-mail - or bart...

Website looks good. I agree about the opening page - not necessary. I don't understand the pricing ..... "Prices are for up to 2 guests An additional charge of £35 per person, per week will be made" Does that mean the prices are more than advertised. If that is the case, why not just up th...

Here is a link to a site showing a video of the progress made at Corvera.
It appears to have been taken late last year.

It doesn't look too far off opening to me !!!

Here is an e-mail I've got from HL, unbeknown for them I've just cancelled my renewal. I'm tempted to register in my wife's name as a completely new account and take the TWO months free. (Probably shouldn't be posting this here but hey ho) The code they are quoting is different to the one listed her...

Ryanair flights to Murcia

Has anybody any idea whether Ryanair will resume their flights to Murcia in 2012. I know they fell out with the Spanish airports last year. Just trying to plan flights for Easter and Ryanair say there are no flights available. Not sure whether they will, but just haven't released them yet. Thanks BU...

Hi Ronsat Up until this last season we used a keyholder who met our guests, showed them round, took the cleaning fee etc. We paid a fair price for this but decided to change this season. We fitted a "keysafe" near the door, e-mail the code to guests before they go and the keyholder now com...

Dave I don't do "in depth reviews" but I have explored the full site. A couple of comments: I don't think your photos show off the property well enough. Couldn't you have a separate page for the photos? Picture 5/5 - you have spelt viewed wrong Pictures 4 and 5 seem out of focus to me Why ...
