Thanks Mousie. As there is only the two of us I suspect a 4 bedroom villa in October won't be cheap as I would have thought they have a good chance of letting it then. I wouldn't want to waste yours or their time .

Hello, My hubby and are looking for somewhere to stay in NE Mallorca for 1 week from 5 October 2018. We would rather deal direct with owners than used the dreaded OTA's.

I think it is trial and error, finding out what works for you and suits your property. Pour les vacances is a very good French site, very simple, personally run, not expensive. So refreshing in these days where everyone else is part of a big chain. If you are going to sign up, let us know as there ...

Lianne Firstly, I am so sorry to hear about your mum. Secondly, I think your website is great. I can see exactly what you have to offer on your home page and it entices me to explore further. It definitely looks like somewhere I would like to stay. Have you tried using social media to promote the co...

Hi Paddy I've had a look at your latest post. I am by no means an expert but I would say whilst I like your style like others do, you must use paragraphs to break up the text. Of everything that I have read about blogging the is the key point that I have found. People switch off when confronted with...

It seems a high number but I wouldn't say particularly unusual - I've had 8 enquiries via HA since the beginning of Jan - 1 has turned into a booking and was the only one who responded to my quote. The others I have waited a week or so and sent a polite 'I have received another enquiry for those dat...

I booked a self-catering holiday in France (a few years ago) using Cottages4you France and didn't have any problems. I tend to try to find owner's websites directly in the area that I am interested in visiting though I understand that most people prefer to use a listing service. I found the one that...

This is a great idea, something I've been thinking about doing but Ray has spurred me into action - I've created a board called 'Other great places to stay' http://pinterest.com/katzrichardson/other-great-places-to-stay/ Here is the board for our gites: http://pinterest.com/katzrichardson/ty-hir-git...
