Selling – Our Reservations centre is dedicated to the sale of holidays. It is open seven days a week from 9am to 9pm (UK time), 364 days a year. The Reservations team is trained to be helpful, friendly and to cross sell in the event that the property that the holidaymaker wanted is not available. By keeping us up to date with the availability of your holiday property we can secure the sale immediately.
