Hi there, does anyone have a favourite site for good, cheap, last-minute holidays that they have booked with and can recommend?
I've looked at lastminute.com, teletextholidays.co.uk and icelolly.com. Anyone any others?

We have had two really fantasic hilidays in Corsica from The Villa Company at the last minute- about 2 weeks before we went. They are very friendly to talk to, have been to the places themselves, and orgaised flight and car. One year , they arranged one week in one place, and the other week in another place, because they couldn't get the two weks together; this was perfect actually, because it felt like two holidays.
(Having said that we went with them to Portugal last year, and wasn't that impressed; although the villa was great, the location was terrible.....and not as they'd described really)
Worth a try though not dirt cheap..

Thanks for that although I was really looking for a holiday with no cooking! We quite like going half-board as we can usually get something for us and the boys.

Oh sorry! Yep, see the attraction of no cooking tho..... we always go self catering, and end up in one of those residence type places, small bugalow sort of accomodation with a shared pool, eat out a few times cook a bit. The kids seem to eat tons of fruit and veg in France, it always tastes so much nicer from one of those stalls at the side of the road....
