Hi,

We've written a brand new guide to Cheap Holiday Rentals.

We'd love to hear feedback, especially if you've used holiday rental sites (Homeaway, Ownersdirect etc) before. Do you have any top tips or rental sites that you'd add? Is there anything you'd tweak?

Thank very much
Jenny

    Under "Some Inspiration on the new guide there is a link to the forum discussion:[/QUOTE]Many MoneySavers swear by holiday rentals. Please add your feedback to the Cheap Holiday Rentals forum discussion.

    When I click on the link to the discussion I get this message:

    Presumably that's because this is a 'sneak peek', and therefore the thread isn't open for comments until the guide is officially 'published'!

    Jenny, the link that should take you to ebay actually takes you to the VRBO website.

    I have had considerable success booking low cost holidays in excellent villas via holidaylettings.co.uk. I have yet to find better value and range. Should that not be in the guide?

    Thanks for your feedback. The discussion link should work now (though please still feedback here for now).

    Holidaylettings.co.uk is featured in the Tripadvisor section - I've tried to make that clearer. Looking into villarenters too.

    Thanks again. Feel free to add more feedback - all thoughts appreciated! :)
