Could anyone give me any links to self catering places in England or Wales that would still availability for this summer? Given the lack of finding anything, I'm pretty much open to all options, up until end of August.

I was looking at parkdean in Dorset they had availibility (the warmwell one has a decent pool that I know of)

Or whitemead in the forest of Dean

Or you could look at centre parcs?

You could try John Fowler parks. They're very cheap and cheerful , and you definitely get what you pay for , but they are in lovely locations.

Try ukcaravans4hire.co.uk
I found availability in North Norfolk this week . Lots of private owners on nice sites . Don’t be put off by chintz and check the trip advisor for the site . The price reflects the clientele . prices have jumped

I've just paid £950 for 7 nights in a cottage on the main through-road in Lyme Regis, 4 of us inc 2 young adult DSs, mid August ..... Hmm

I've just booked a lovely cottage for mid August on www.classic.co.uk/browse-holiday-cottages/TheWestCountry--1.html

If you go on Cottages.com put in a county there's still availability - what's the budget, location, people?

KoalasandRabbit · 23/07/2020 21:26

There's this one for £950 has a pool and hot tub.

www.cottages.com/cottages/rose-barn-m389490?child=2&nights=7&range=3&start=7-8-2020&adult=2&infant=0

Says there's 300 available in England for that date so some choice.

Don’t use cottages.com - we were due to go to Devon in a week and a half and have just received a curt e-mail to say the booking’s been cancelled, despite being paid in full. No explanation, no nothing - and now no holiday! Having checked trustpilot, this sadly doesn’t seem to be a unique experience - and we cannot get through to them on the phone. Grr.

Do you mean self catering such as AirBNB or a caravan type place? Multiple caravan/static home parks with availability in Nth Essex (Clacton, Harwich, Seawick) also several along the Suffolk coast.

@Dragontrainer: Poor you! How gutting, I bet you were looking forward to it so much. It's got me worried about ours booked through them. All looks ok at the moment, due to go on Friday, but I looked at Trustpilot and was absolutely horrified at what I read. I have visions of us turning up to find we can't get in the cottage and will have to drive all the way home again! Can't understand it, we've used them once before with no issues at all. I do hope you sort something out and get your money back.

I wonder if the pandemic has had an effect on the company or if they've always been that shit.

yeOldeTrout · 28/07/2020 21:35

I find lots as long as we can pay £100+/night.

Dragontrainer · 29/07/2020 08:28

@CurlyhairedAssassin Hope you have a fantastic time! I’m sure everything will go smoothly for you.
