What are the advantages of a holiday rental?

Often more flexible than hotels, short-term holiday lets are usually more exciting – just look at our range of holiday home rentals, such as apartments and cottages. They can be the more affordable option as well. Looking for an extended stay? No problem; many holiday rentals can be booked for up to a month. You’ll settle in straight away thanks to convenient and comfortable amenities, like kitchens and blackout curtains. Not only that, lots of apartments to rent for the weekend are centrally located in cities, placing you right where all the action is.

Where can I find the best holiday rentals?

From cosy rentals for holidays in remote Wales to quaint cottages in Dublin, there are heaps of homes to choose from. For a weekend away filled with hikes followed by hearty meals in a traditional pizzeria, take a look at lakeside villas in Italy. Craving some sunshine? Book a holiday home in Dubai for a beach holiday in Palm Jumeirah.

What are the different types of holiday rentals?

Often situated in city centres, plush apartments offer you business-friendly accommodation kitted out with plenty of mod-cons, such as free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Lake houses and homely cabins with hot tubs make for cosy getaways in rural locations, often close to some of the best countryside and trails. For a unique home rental, why not climb aboard a houseboat? Perks of staying on the water include free parking and a fully equipped kitchen.

How do I find a good deal on holiday house rentals?

Flexibility is key to finding an impressive deal on our short-term holiday lets. For instance, the best deals on staying in a Lisbon holiday home will be through the autumn and winter. Fewer travellers in the colder months help to ensure there are often some cheap deals available. The type of rental for holidays will also affect the cost of deals, so play around with different cottages, apartments and villas to find a unique holiday at a reasonable price.

How many days can I stay in my hotel rental property?

Don’t worry if you have to work away in a different city for a month – many self-catering apartments for holidays let you stay for as long as 30 days. Just enter your dates to see what the availability is. Looking for a short-stay apartment in central Prague? No problem; many short-term holiday rentals can be booked for only 1 or 2 nights. Still plenty of time to recharge your batteries.

What are the most popular types of summer home rentals?

Well-appointed, rural short-term holiday rentals place you within easy reach of hills and trails. Rest up after a long hike in deep-soaking baths and private pools.
