Deciding On A Date Or Dates

Booking holiday accommodation in advance seems to be one of the most over-looked aspects of going on a self catering holiday. All too often it is easy to put off nailing down a date, or too difficult to get a consensus when booking for a group of friends. Yet deciding on this date in plenty of time then gives you the ability to take more of a pick from many more available cottages and homes.

Choosing The Date

The two most common ways of deciding on a date are:

(i) The date pretty much decides itself if it is a special occasion or your friends and family have a particular period booked off from work.
(ii) If you want a particular cottage (or cottages) in a given area, you can start with available dates at that cottage and narrow it down.

Choosing the date can be made easier by giving a group of people a choice of two or three dates which you know are available at the holiday cottage(s) you have initially contacted. By narrowing the dates down to two or three you are giving everyone a choice while avoiding 12 different preferred dates being given you when you ask for everyone
