Holiday-Rentals.co.uk helps families find the perfect Easter rental

~ New ‘Easter Holidays’ section provides inspiration & links to late deals ~

Holiday-Rentals.co.uk has published a new ‘Easter Holidays’ section on its website to help families find the perfect Easter holiday home. The section provides inspiration and advice on what to do this Easter, as well as details of the different types of properties available for varying weekly budgets. With rentals from £200 to £1,000+ per week, and over 50 special offers, there's something for everyone; whether you’re looking for a rural retreat, a bit of culture, some fun in the sun, or theme park thrills.

Alexis de Belloy, MD, Holiday-Rentals.co.uk advises, “Most holiday home owners consider Easter to be low or mid-season and Easter weeks don’t get booked up as quickly as late summer, making it the perfect time to treat the family for less. Doubling up with another family in a larger property can make your budget stretch further still, with potential savings of between 40 to 70% off travel agent prices.”

For younger children an Easter break at Disney World will create great memories, or you could stage your own Easter egg hunt or Easter bunny hopping races in the garden of your holiday home.

Holiday-Rentals.co.uk recommends those with older children try a cultured city break. With the right combination of sightseeing, people watching and museums, you'll be sure to find something to entertain your teens. If you can fit in some shopping or a football match, even better!

For those who like the choice of doing as much or as little as they want, a rural retreat with pool or a beach holiday somewhere warm are the best options. On Holiday-Rentals.co.uk there are 1000's of holiday homes in the countryside and by the sea. Spain, France, Italy and Portugal
offer the best of both worlds, while the Balearics, Canary Islands and Cyprus have many family-friendly, seaside resorts.

Finally, 1000's of properties on site are pet friendly
, so if you can’t afford or bear to leave Fido or Mitzi at home, you can bring them along too!
