Who are we?
We are an independent travel website*. We love our holidays, and enjoy bringing you the holiday information which we hope will make your vacation an enjoyable one.
We do our best to ensure that the information is accurate, though please check the holiday companies website(s) for the latest prices, terms and conditions and any extra charges which may apply. Please also note that some holiday companies use “live pricing” to give you the latest price for a particular holiday and this may sometimes be slightly different to our published prices (perhaps more, perhaps less) the latest deals are often snapped up quickly and are always subject to availability and some will be withdrawn when sold out – but we try and update as often as we can to make sure you get accurate information. Should you book a holiday, the contract is between you and the company concerned, though we’ll do our best to help if you have any questions.
* If you click through to a third party site and purchase a holiday from them, we may receive a small commission for that referral.
