Default Is There a Website that .....

.. gathers all the UK cottages/caravans/chalets that are unlet into one place as last minute bargains?

and if not, why not?

I am sure if I owned a cottage that was un-let I would love to get whatever I could for it if there are just days to go before its sell by date.

You’d be surprised how popular holidaying in the UK has been over the past 2-3 years, our cottage is nearly booked solid for the whole season from about mid march. It isn’t too hard for owners to drum up interest in there holiday homes with tinternet n all, its farley easy to knock up a basic website. So it doesn’t really come to a last minute situation like with Mediterranean resorts where accommodation far outstrips demand.

Typical. Lewis claims he earns 100K a year or something but still quibbles about the price of renting a cottage.

Yes I have - its a slow, slow site - I like the way you can e-mail the owners on that one and negotiate ............. sadly, the wife works in a school and so we are tied to school holidays! and most of those get booked fast!
