You will be taken to our Holiday Booking System which allows you to book the entire process including all the booking details and request extras and then you will have the option to pay by Paypal or Debit/Credit Card.
(You can also click the “Book Now” button in the header of any page on the web site. If you select this you will need to choose the destination and the holiday in the Holiday Booking System).
If you want any extras such as extra nights or room upgrade please complete this on the Holiday Booking System and we will check availability and confirm your requests.

Step 5 - What Happens Next
If you pay your deposit online,
- You will receive email confirmation within a few minutes and full details of your booking confirmation will follow shortly afterwards (usually within 7-14 days), when all extras have been confirmed.
- We will then send you an email reminder when the final balance is due (90 days before the start of the holiday). The email will contain a link allowing you to pay the final balance by Paypal or Debit/Credit Card.
If you pay your deposit via BACS,
- We will send email confirmation once we have received the payment. If you require this confirmation please advise when you have sent the payment. Please be aware that some bank transfers are immediate but others can take a few days. Full Booking Confirmation will follow shortly afterwards. (7-14 days)
If you pay your deposit by cheque,
- We will send you an email on receipt of your cheque and full booking confirmation (within 7-14 days) which will include the date that the final balance is due. Please make sure you send a cheque for the final balance due by this date.
What happens if I dont have an email address?
- That's okay, we will send you postal confirmation but it will just take a little longer and there is now a small charge for this.
