There are many factors that making Mallorca a real hit in 2012. Firstly, the island is easily accessible and at an affordable price too. All of the major international airports in the UK and Ireland have an almost daily flight schedule to Mallorca, with a flight time of around three hours, which makes this manageable  with even the most unruly of children, so Mallorca is a real family favourite. Mallorca is governed by Spain and is part of the EU and hence uses the Euro as currency. Most disposable items, such as food and drink can be purchased at a relative or cheaper price than back home. Eating out is very cheap with three course meals available in many restaurants for under €7.50 per person. As an island Mallorca benefits from an amazing coastline, which is another big draw for holidaymakers. There are hundreds of golden sand filled beaches and coves for you to relax on. The Mediterranean Sea is warm, temperate and crystal clear and is the perfect place to introduce children to swimming and feeling comfortable in the water at an early age. During the summer months Mallorca is blessed with a glorious climate. The days and long, hot and sunny, with average temperatures in July and August in excess of 25ºC. The nights are balmy and filled with various forms of entertainment and enjoyment. In fact during the off season during the winter months the average daytime temperature is around 15ºC which is far warmer than the UK and Ireland!

Although Mallorca may be proving a really hot holiday destination this year there is no need to worry about finding the right accommodation for you and your travelling party. We have it covered for you. Our portfolio of self catering holiday rentals in Mallorca is extensive and covers all manner of holiday lettings.

From the hustle and bustle (and of course amazing shopping) of Palma which is the capital of the island to the more remote areas of Sineu there is something for everyone to enjoy here.

England

You can find a multitude of varied yet equally enjoyable holiday destinations in England. The south coast of the country is home to some wonderful beaches. In the southwest of England Cornwall and Devon are firm favourites with holidaymakers. Lands End is part of the southernmost point of the UK mainland and enjoys a warm climate in which palm trees and other tropical species of plants thrive. Cornwall is famous for surfing. The rugged coastal cliffs and underwater landscape give the rips and waves that have created this popular surf scene in this region. Neighbouring Devon also enjoys warm and sunny months during the summer. The friendly locals have gone a long way to making Devon the popular holiday location that it is. The region enjoys to separate coastlines, one to the north and one to the south. In between you can find a whole wealth of charming villages and rustic farmland and you can really get into this rural environment by renting a secluded cottage in Devon from our portfolio of self catering holiday lettings. Devon borders two other counties which are also very popular with holidaymakers. Somerset and Dorset have wonderful beaches which are perfect for families. Deep golden sand beaches and low tides make for sandcastle building and wonderful walks whilst enjoying the sunset. Stretching along the south coast of England Hampshire, Sussex and Kent provide more traditional English holiday destinations. Victorian buildings line the promenades, piers jut out into the sea and once again there are long, deep golden sand beaches to enjoy.

On the east coast of England Suffolk, Norfolk and Lincolnshire offer a more sedate and rural holiday experience. Of course there is a wonderful coastline comprised of glorious beaches and hidden bays for you to enjoy but there is also the tranquil beauty of the wild countryside and the broads area which is made up of series of rivers and streams which have become home to many different species of UK wildlife.

The north of England is a scenic paradise. There is the Lake District and its wonderful rolling hills and peaks which stretch across Cumbria and Lancashire on the west side of England, whilst on the east coast Yorkshire, Durham and Northumberland are all home to expansive and scenic moorlands which are peppered with rural farmhouses and cottages, which really allow you to forget back home and absorb this wonderful and peaceful atmosphere.

Wales

The proud country of Wales is famous for the love of rugby, singing, valleys and coal, but there is far more to this country than that. The Welsh tourism board has been heavily promoting Wales over the last eighteen months and as a result taking a holiday in Wales is proving to be very popular in 2012. Cottage and B&B holiday accommodation in Wales are really proving popular, so if you intend visiting this year remember to book early. Wales is home to many of the top blue flag rated beaches in the UK. In fact, there are so many lovely beaches in Wales that many of the locals coin the phrase “beaches covered in sand and not sun loungers”. With such a large amount of coastline at your disposal it really is easy to find yourself a private stretch of beach on which to soak up the sun and forget the worries of work and homelife. South Wales is home to the Gower Peninsula where you get the best of both worlds. You can enjoy the long sprawling beaches and remote isolated coves or explore the Afan Forest Park and immerse yourself in the beautiful countryside which surrounds this area. Made famous by Dylan Thomas and Merlin Carmarthenshire once again is home to some amazing scenery and beaches. Why not visit a few of the friendly local watering holes after a day exploring the Brecon Beacons? The rugged beauty of Pembrokeshire is a paradise for hill walkers and mountain bikers. There are nearly 200 miles of coastal trails for you to traverse here and all surrounded by raw natural beauty. North Wales and Anglesey are great destinations for you if you really want to get away from it all. There is easy access to the Snowdonia National Park, there is an array of historical buildings and castles for you to enjoy and there is also a zoo and Greenwood Forest Park to explore. This region of Wales is once again very popular with cyclists and walkers, but don´t less this put you off if that kind of thing is not for you as there are many other diversions to take part in.

Scotland

Scotland is a country steeped in history and tradition. From famous victorious battles to mythical monsters Scotland has something for everyone to enjoy on holiday. From the Scottish Borders and Dumfries and Galloway in the south of the country to the Scottish Highlands and Islands in the north, we have a fine range of self catering holiday lettings for you to enjoy. In fact we have as many different types of holiday accommodation as there are diversions for you to enjoy in Scotland. Attend a show or do some retail therapy in Edinburgh and stay in a chic city apartment or penthouse. Explore the Scottish countryside in Central Scotland and stay in a lodge or cabin in Stirlingshire or get away from it all in a traditional cottage in the Scottish Highlands. Although Scotland boasts some of the best scenery in the UK and Ireland, it is a music festival that seems to have the biggest attraction for holidaymakers travelling here. T in the Park music festival which is hosted in Perthshire runs for three whole days and nights and is becoming one of the largest festivals in the UK with attendances increasing annually. Why not do something different and give it a try this 2012? Speaking of different things to try, Scotland has a whole wealth of new experiences for you to try. There are fly fishing courses and fishing beats for you to try your hand at. You could have a go at shooting on a Scottish estate or even have a go at highland dancing at a Ceildh in Inverness. Whatever you are looking for taking a holiday in Scotland will pleasantly surprise you and you may even have the opportunity to try something that you never dreamed that you would.

Ireland

You can expect the warmest of welcomes if you choose to take a holiday in Ireland and this is one of the many reasons why so many people choose to take a self catering holiday in Ireland. There is stunning countryside for you to marvel at, amazing local cuisine and fresh seafood dishes to taste and of course “the black stuff” Guinness which tastes far better in the land where it is brewed. Golf is one of the major holiday attractions in Ireland and there are numerous world class golf courses housed here. It is a good job that there are so many golf courses here as nearly a quarter of a million people travel to play here annually. Cork in the south of the country is a place of history and tradition. There are beautiful villages and local pubs to enjoy. In addition Cork is home to some of the best fishing and walks in the country, you can even have a go at kayaking or have a try at scuba diving in the crystal clear waters. Kerry is another popular holiday destination. Kerry is the county to the west of Cork and is the most westerly part of the country and therefore enjoys some marvelous sunsets. In Kerry there are a multitude of different things for you to see and do. Once again scuba diving is very popular, but you can also have a try at horse riding, walking and trekking or you could  even opt for natural healing remedies. I have been told that the seaweed wrap is particularly good! The most popular destination in Ireland is the capital Dublin. Take a tour of the Guinness factory, grab a bargain from the busy shopping arcades, but most importantly don´t forget to try and Irish Fry breakfast and Dublin lobster and seafood.

Wherever you decide to holiday be it England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales just make sure that you have a great time!

Now that Summer is over we have a wide range of Special Offers and Late Deals on self catering ski accommodation in all of the major ski resorts across the globe.

If you have never taken a skiing holiday before now is the time to give it a go. I was skeptical about taking one until I was persuaded by a group of experienced skiers to tag along with them. I had never skied before, but once we arrived in Avoriaz  I was put in touch with an instructor who “nursed” me down a couple of mild slopes and from then on I was hooked.

The majority of ski resorts are now well geared up for the influx of tourists that they welcome every year. There are a multitude of restaurants which serve all manner of international cuisine. There are shops galore, ranging from holiday souvenirs to brand name designer outlets and when the sun goes down there is the Aprés Ski. In the evening ski resorts come alive. There are nightclubs, bars and discos to enjoy. There are snowboarding and ski exhibitions involving professionals who wow the crowds with their daredevil tricks and stunts. Just remember not to party too hard as the ski slopes begin to get busy early in the morning, so don´t miss your slot on the ski lift!

If you feel a little left out because you have already tried a ski holiday and it is just not your cup of tea, there are still many other worldwide resorts for you to take a holiday in. If sunshine and the beach is more your sort of thing why not take advantage of our self catering Winter beach holiday rentals special offers and late deals and soak up the sun on a tropical beach.

Most of all Autumn and Winter are a great time to take a well earned holiday so sit back and take the time to browse our portfolio of properties booked directly from the owner and get ready to have a great holiday!
