Thank you Val xx

Thank you for the quick response MattR5, much appreciated. Sadly, I couldnt find anywhere to do better, as you said, so i booked it. Even sadder was that I took Martin's advice and called every single one of these travel agents below. Not a single one, after looking, could do better or offer a comparable standard of property, with a similar or better tripadvisor review, than this. Hours of calls later, I took your advice Matt and bit the bullet. I was so sure that posting on here, and ringing up all these agents would give me a better deal, but alas, even with my best attempts, I failed. If someone does come up with a better deal, Id be very curious to see it! What made me cry here was the £800 under occupancy charge! I had to pay it! Boo!

Thanks again Matt for the quick response! Much appreciated...
