Advertising a Lake District holiday home on the net for free? I have a self-catering holiday home in Kendal, Lake District UK. I have it listed on a web page but never get any business from that source - does anyone know any websites which will advertise my holiday home for free? I am not able to exchange links and the holiday home page is not the main page of the website. And to Leo and all those that complain about second home owners... tourism is the largest source of income in the Lake District - if homes weren't available to rent then the economy of the area would collapse. For your information we also rent several properties exclusively to local occupants. I was born in a poor area of London - I worked hard to earn enough to buy these properties... what's your excuse?

I want to buy a holiday home in America, but where? Hello :) I'm pregnant with triplet girls at the moment, and I want to buy a holiday (vacation) home in America for when they're a bit older so that we can go and spend a few weeks there when they have breaks from school But I was wondering which part would be best to buy in? I'd want it to be a nice area, not really the city, maybe the beach, or somewhere with a nice lake where the kids could swim and play? Anyone have any ideas? Money's not really an object Thank you :) I visit the US about 10 times a year, I know it well, but I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions, as the places I visit aren't really suitable for taking small children to And also, why would I say 'moneys not an object' if I didn't mean it I'm only in the idea phase, my triplets aren't even born, I'm just asking for a few idea's before I look into it further...

Are both Sitges Mougin, near Nice, locatio worth considering as a good choice for purchasing a holiday home? Are both Sitges Mougin, near Nice, locatio worth considering as a good choice for purchasing a holiday home? I have the enviable position of being enabled to purchase a holiday home. But also have a quandary as to where to choose to buy. I have done some research and shall visit both Sitges near Barcelona and Mougain near Nice in France, this summer. I own an adorable year old chocolate (un-pom-pommed) poodle who will always accompany me on my travels, therefore bearing that in mind,and the fact that the entire process of aeroplane travel has become more tiresome and prohibitve, neccessitates travel by either train, boat or road. My prime conditions are for the property be either by or within a short distance and view of the sea..and sited within a charming, quaint, eclectic anf friendly community. I would be most grateful if anyone has personal experience of travelling wih a dog to France and/orSpain, and can pass on any useful tips and specific methods of travel and details of tailored journeys to any sourced delightful locations.

Can I get high-speed internet in a Florida holiday home without signing up for a minimum contract period? Does anyone know how to acquire a no-contract (or, at least, a short term contract) high-speed internet service in the U.S? For example, when I head to the U.S. (Zip code 34134) for my annual vacation in December, if the accommodation I’ll be renting doesn't have it already, I'd like to try to sort out something for myself, and I wouldn't know where to begin. In the longer term, if ever I'm fortunate enough to buy a property of my own over there, I'd like to be able to acquire a broadband service for that too; not just for when I'm staying there, but also for the benefit of any renters that I might succeed in hiring it out to. Obviously, I’d need a high speed service only intermittently throughout the year - a month here and a month there, at most; so, ideally, something that could be activated and de-activated as and when required. I've checked quite a few sites already, but found nothing so far. Thank you in advance for any advice.
