So we’ve got a week in October & am looking for a website that will ask me 3 questions, ‘when can you go’, ‘where from’, & ‘how long for’. Not ‘where to’ as wer’e open to ideas. Most sites want to know a specific location but I’m sick of entering a certain location on every try then being told ‘nothing matches your criteria’!
For instance, it’s a week from 4th October from either Leeds, Manchester or Donny to anywhere warm, nice & near the sea/beach.
Travel agent 2 weeks before?

Holiday pirates and keep an eye on the deals nearer the time.

I just bought return flights Alicante – Manchester 15 oct – 5 nov. My rental villa with pool is empty those dates if you want it just pay the running costs (say 100 gbp) & its yours. Good biking from the door but lazing by the pool usually wins.

Poolman, if esselgruntfuttock doesn’t take you up on your kind offer I’ve got a week off toward the end of October and I’d potentially be well up for subletting your villa 🙂 ?

well you can both have it if your dates don’t double up – do your own cleaning & laundry & I only want the running costs as stated.

Here’s the link for shameless plug

Poolman, if there’s a spare week, I’d definitely be interested.

my last paying guests leave 5 oct & I am not doing any more commercial lets after that this year so anyone wanting a near freebie can have it. I can get a friend to look after the pool & divvy up the cost.

I would prefer guests to do their own cleaning & laundry at the end but I can get someone in at your cost.

Flights are c 100 gbp return (avoid Saturdays & half term), hire car c 80 gbp pw, villa utilities say 100 gbp tops (incl wifi).

YGM Poolman, sounds perfect 🙂

That 2 star review is ridiculous 🙄

Hi poolman/Neil, I would certainly be interested as well, just about to book flights to Valencia, not Alicante, dropped you an eMail.

Update on avails:
Let Finbar 11-18 oct
Let SueW 18-25 Oct
Sven – you can have 25th onwards

Enjoy!! Thanks Pigface, the 2 star reviewer wanted a refund before they even stepped into the villa. If they are still married I’ll drink the contents of the pool.

Neil, (I’ll mail you tonight from home, can’t get the piccies up at work) & thanks for your kind offer!

poolman – don’t want to take the piss here but are other dates available as well? Later this year or early next? WOuld be kids hols time which you might already be fully booked up for?

No probs if not possible.

Cheers

Essel – I let the above dates, we did email you this morning to give you first dibs.
CB – sorry its just while I am away & the villa would be empty, I prefer to see it being enjoyed rather than empty.

A huge thank you to Poolman for being so generous 🙂 Big thumbs up to you!

Bugga! I’m at work all day so couldn’t check my yahoo mail! Never mind thanks again &….maybe some other time?
(Wouldn’t care, we love that area) 😥

Thanks so much Poolman. Can’t wait 😀

Big thanks to poolman from here as well, looking forward to the half-term holidays in autumn more now than to the summer holidays…
