Anyone with villa in Orlando?

Hi, I'm thinking of taking my family to Orlando from 26th December for 2 weeks. Before I start looking for a villa I thought I'd ask on here first.

I had a similar challenge with my first basset hound puppy. I did manage to overcome it in the end. I started off by putting her in the back of the car and sitting with her for a few minutes at a time. When she was settled doing that I shut the back - just for a few seconds to start with and then fo...

I use Farm and Cottage holidays to book my holiday cottage and they have been doing a great job. We were booked for 49 weeks last year, and looking good again this year. I just have one question, which I hope someone here might be able to help me with. The cottage has been booked for some time for n...

I supply 2 per toilet +1 extra for a week. I've never been asked for more, and there are usually 2 or more left in the cupboard after a week. (Apart from when I have people staying who strip the whole place bare of everything like this.....dishwasher tablets, bin bags, washing powder, kitchen roll, ...

We have online grocery deliveries here. The guests go online and book the deliveries themselves, so no need for you to set anything up. They use their own email address and payment card. They just input the address here for the delivery. Sainsburys, Tescos and Waitrose are definitely like that, not ...

I'm on the Devon/Cornwall borders and started letting out the holiday cottage in June 2009. I decided to go with an Agent, and this has certainly paid off in my case.

I've had my holiday cottage for nearly 2 years now, and I have it with Farm and Cottage Holidays. 48 weeks sold last year, and ...
