Please help. I want to go on my own in May, has to be May half term, flying from Stansted.

Somewhere in Europe as I don’t want to go too far. I want to lounge about a pool but with a small town not too far away to walk to for coffee or a drink.

I’ve been looking at so many places that I’m starting to go crackers.

Any suggestions welcome.

As a teacher it’s the school holidays or not at all. I don’t go away in the summer as it’s too expensive and busy and Easter is too early this year.

Really recommend you go to your local travel agent.

My sister and myself are off to a 10 day stay in Rome and Sicily. I booked all the travel (because it was complicated) but couldn't find a place to stay. So off to the travel agency I went with sister on video by phone. Got hotels and transfers. They were brilliant.

I'd recommend Hayes Travel (online or in branch), just give them your requirements, budget etc, they'll come up with something and no more expensive than searching online yourself....easy!!

We’ve got a Hayes just open up near us, I might well pop in.
