Anyone come across these? I was just checking my website stats and noticed i'd had a click through from them, so I checked it out. My property is indeed listed, and the photos are up to date, and the calendar, but I didn't do it, as I can't log in using my usual details.

Helen, do you have a URL for them ?
I tried the obvious as per the title of your post, but simply got a message:
Gone
The requested resource
/
is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource.
Could that message be significant - I wonder ????

Apparently they had added it to their site without asking me, and are now rather embarrassed that i found it first. Their email is below
Hello Helen,
I am writing to you because I have just found your holiday rental property on the internet, however, you have found your property on the site before we have introduced ourselves.
This is embarrassing as I do not wish to cause any offence.
In the hope that our service may be of interest to you please let me continue share our introduction to Villaway.
I want to tell you about a new website - Villaway - that
makes it easier for holidaymakers to find high quality holiday properties
like yours.
ADVERTISE FOR FREE
Villaway (www.villaway.co.uk) is free to both advertisers and holidaymakers.
The only charge is a small commission (4% with a minimum of £30) when
someone books your property through Villaway. It costs you nothing to
advertise - you only pay for results!
THE VILLAWAY DIFFERENCE
We've created a sophisticated search engine, which allows holidaymakers to
search on a large number of features to find their ideal property.
Because holidaymakers know exactly what they are getting, you'll find that
contacts you gain through Villaway turn into firm bookings.
YOUR PROPERTY ON VILLAWAY
Your property will benefit from our attractive layout, which allows you to
use up to 9 photographs.
To show you just how good our advertisements look, we've put together a
draft ad for you based on the information we found for your property:
ADVERTISER BENEFITS
Along with FREE advertising, you will also benefit from:
. Simple point and click function to add your property features and you can
update features or upload new pictures at any time.
. Advertiser tools including our Availability Calendar, Pricing Feature and
regular statistics updates.
. The best holiday property search facility in the market, making Villaway
very attractive to holidaymakers looking for a property just like yours.
. A professional marketing campaign using online and offline advertising.
. New markets and opportunities with the roll-out of Villaway sites in six
languages.
TELL A FRIEND
With Tell a Friend, we'll pay you! If you introduce either a holidaymaker or
an advertiser to the site, we'll give you 10% of our commission from their
bookings through Villaway.
ADDED FEATURES
For a small fee you can give your property extra prominence on the site by
taking advantage of our 'Featured Property' advertising sites.
We also offer text message alerts if an advertiser is interested in your
property.
ADVERTISE NOW!
To advertise on Villaway, all that remains is for you to click on the link
below, and agree to the Villaway Advertisers Agreement, by ticking the box
at the bottom of the document.
We look forward to hearing from you,
PS: I am in receipt of your Terms and Conditions which I shall review and
upload very shortly. The use of our Terms and Conditions is Free of Charge

I can't see a way of searching by town/city/area which is what a large number of people do so when you go to Spain for example you end up all over the placeHelenB wrote:THE VILLAWAY DIFFERENCE

I deactivated this ad some time ago, despite adding my own pictures and information to it. They have now emailed asking if I wish to activate it, and offering me free 'Featured property' in exchange for allowing them to use my ad as an demonstration to other advertisers. Not sure though, I can't find the site on the first couple of pages of an Google search, except as 'villaway'.
