Whether you’re looking for a pet friendly pad, a camper van for adventurous types or a spacious villa for all the family, there really is something for everyone on Holiday Lettings – it’s just a matter of looking for it. That’s where our search filters come in. You’ll find them at the top of the search results.

Here’s how to use the filters to find the perfect place.

• Where do you want to go? Use the drop down menus to select the country, region or town. If you’re not sure about where you want to stay, try using the map view. For example, you might not mind about which town you’re in as long as you’re near to specific attractions, such as the beach, so the map view comes in handy here.

• When do you want to stay? Choose your arrival and departure dates if you’ve got a specific time in mind. If you’re flexible about when you want to go, leave this section blank (same goes for the other sections).

• What size home are you looking for? Choose the size of property you’re looking for – either by the number of bedrooms or by the number of guests it sleeps.

• How much do you want to spend? You can select your budget by typing the amount in the boxes or using the slider. Don’t forget to consider your travel costs when planning your holiday.

• What type of place are you looking for? Maybe you’ve got your heart set on a cosy cottage or perhaps you’re picturing yourself in a grand château? You’ll find all sorts of different property types to choose from.

• What do you want to do on holiday? If you’re looking for a specific activity, such as fishing or horse riding, you can select it from the dropdown menu to find all of the homes with that activity nearby. Read the listings to find out more about the activities on offer.

• Who does the home need to be suitable for? If you’re looking for a place that’s been wheelchair friendly or has access for restricted mobility, you can use the dropdown menu to specify. Want to stay somewhere that welcomes pets? You can select this option from here too.

• What facilities do you need? If you’ve got toddlers in tow, maybe you need a place with a high chair? Or perhaps you have a tribe of restless teenagers who’d love a games room.

You can order the properties by price, or even browse through them in map view or photo view.

Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, keep an eye out for the green Bookable online banner – this means you can book and pay online.

If you can’t see the banner, simply send the owner an enquiry. We recommend contacting 5-10 properties in case your first choice is not available.

See our help section about how to make a booking and how to pay for your stay for more info.
