I thought chintzy, dark and grannyish was obligatory in an English holiday cottage? Anyway it means you can get loads of sand on the carpet and nobody can distingush it from the muddy brown pattern.

I think you will find it difficult unless there is a cancellation. We found everywhere was booked when we started in April! We only got something through a friend of someone who was fully booked. Good luck-hope something turns up.

I guess its time to look elsewhere.....

plantsitter · 22/07/2008 12:06

Sorry maybe this will work www.cottages4you.co.uk/uce/c4y?view=details&action=readDetails&cottageId=411329&holidayPark=N&startd ate=1/8/2008&duration=7&sleeps=2&propertyTypeId=&complexId=
If not go to 'cottages4u.co.uk' and do an availability search but pretend there are 2 of you and you want 2 bedrooms.

Try The Lady magazine. The classified ads in there may come up trumps and teh new issue comes out today

AbbeyA · 22/07/2008 13:23

I think that you will need a late cancellation. You could try phoning one of the companies and asking if anyone has cancelled-they may not have got around to updating a web page. We got ours because someone had a friend who was just starting out (still building)and put me in touch.We tried last summer and failed, anything within 20 miles of the coast had gone! We only wanted a cottage for 4.

missblythe · 22/07/2008 13:31

Thoughts anyone?

OP posts:
Fimbo · 22/07/2008 16:22

I don't think at this late stage and given the probs you have been having trying to find somewhere that you should even be thinking about it. GO FOR IT!

LullyOfShallot · 22/07/2008 16:48

I know but..........
