this one is a good one. I've booked two holidays through it very easily and had good service. The search system is quite clear and logical compared to lots I looked at.

www.babygoes2.com is an excellent site with good write ups and advice for families travelling abroad - it only deals in family friendly holiday recommendations. Worth a look.

We used Individual Traveller (www.indiv-travellers.com) to book houses in Spain (they also do France, Italy & Portugal as well as New England). They quote prices per property rather than per person which is good if there are 4 of you and or you want extra room. The Spain brouchure price included car hire - you just have to get flights (although they can sort that out too). The brochure also tends to point out things like unsuitable for children because of dodgy stairs etc. which is helpful
