Fun in the late summer sun

Don’t put your swimsuits away just yet – there are plenty of spots where the sun is still shining! If the wettest August in years has left you craving some much-needed sunshine, it is not too late to make those holiday plans. At Holiday-Rentals.co.uk we have a variety of late summer deals on offer, giving you a chance to experience beautiful destinations without hordes of tourists, ridiculous prices and unbearable heat.

For those of you feeling the squeeze this summer, a holiday in Britain can be just as good, if not better than a European break, albeit regular sunshine can not be guaranteed! Destinations outside of the Euro zone can also be fantastic value. If, however, you’d still like to glam it up in Europe, but don’t want to break the bank, check out the low-cost options we have on offer.

The UK’s largest holiday rentals website now lists over 100,000 holiday properties worldwide and provides massive savings off travel agent prices – sometimes up to 40%! The website is easy to navigate, and the search tools let you filter your search to help you find your ideal home in seconds. And you can check availability and rates without ever leaving your sofa!

Below are some options we have selected for you.
