    was tiring of the Breakfree site so thought i'd check Canvas Holidays instead, and it's not that much more expensive...wondering if this is such a good deal after all?! (for the European hols anyway)

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I was a bit put out that Butlins Bognor wasn't showing up for any of the dates I wanted. OH then pointed out "why are you booking for 8 rather than 2 parties of 4 ?" ... presto, Butlins Bognor came up on the list (the family we're going with had to do their own booking though)

    I'm trying to book Brittany for w/c 12th July but it keep coming up between £600-£700 - is anyone else getting this?

    That sounds about right according to this list: http://www.breakfreeholidays.co.uk/dm-europe-holiday-dates

    12th July = 1 night @ £18pppn (4 people min) = £72
    13th July to 19th July = 6 nights @ £22pppn (4 people min) =£528
    Total = £600

    HTH
    You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back

    has anyone successfully booked a European holiday? I keep getting all the way to the payment page then it says that I can't proceed as accommodation has to be for longer than 3 nights - even though i've selected a 7 night stay!!

    Hi same happened but I have since booked successfully! I tried to book the ferry using the taking the times that allowed the FOC options and it showed the price as TBC, then once at the payment stage I was getting the same message. As we were only booking this ferry as a backup, as it wasn't really suitable, we deleted the ferry and it was then able to give a proper total, at the payment stage it processed sucessfully. This may not be helpful if you want to book a ferry and it doesn't give you a total - but it may help??

    Cheers

    no, have tried a few times too. Guess it's worth calling them tomorrow and asking why it's not going through.

    we'd need the ferry so I don't want to do the booking without it.
