We’re a couple looking for some winter sun. Sightseeing doesn’t bother us this time, we just want to completely chill out. We can travel between 29th October and 1st November for 10-12 nights. We know it won’t be hot in the Mediterranean and we’re open to suggestions about where we go. We have been looking [...]

We’ve got a budget of £1000 for a September Mediterranean break. We’d like to stay in a contemporary, boutique-style hotel but we realise our price range is limiting.

We would like to take our children, aged 2 and 7, on a city break this summer. We need to go within the peak holiday season and are working to a tight budget of £800 for the four of us. We like the idea of combining a bit of culture with some relaxation: Barcelona would [...]

Can you recommend a minimalist style hotel that doesn’t cost the earth? We want to stay somewhere hot, near the sea and not too far away. In the past, we have rented a villa in Ibiza with friends but this is our first holiday as a couple and we’re on a budget this time. We’ve [...]

My friend and I would like to go on a city break to somewhere new. We would like to stay in a quality, boutique-style hotel, preferably with a spa. As we are only going away for three nights, we don’t want to travel too far. We have been to all of the obvious city break [...]

Getting away during the school holidays can be a nightmare, especially if you leave it too late to book: flights are expensive, resorts and airports crowded and the selection of available properties is limited.
