2007 Cottages and Villas Brochure Designed to Attract First time Visitors

Plus, 15% off all holidays booked before 31 January, including peak season

The new "home-from-home" self-catering holiday brochure from Brittany Ferries has first time visitors very much in mind, and customers can choose from well over 1,500 cottages, villas, gites and casas covering all the most desirable locations in both France and northern Spain.

With more than 30 years' experience of arranging self-drive holidays, Brittany Ferries ensures all properties are of the highest quality by having their own team of inspectors. They also have a 24/7 help-line manned by English-speaking staff in the unlikely event problems arising. This, combined with the comprehensive pre-departure briefing pack, makes these holidays ideal for the person who has never taken his car across the channel before.

All holidays are ferry-inclusive, so planning and booking are very straightforward and they offer great value for money - a week's holiday in a gite in May or June for a family of 4 can be had for less than £100 per person, including return ferry crossings with a car.

On top of this Brittany Ferries are giving 15% off all holidays – including peak season – for bookings made before the end of January.

Christiane Barker, General Manager Holiday Products comments: "For 2007 we have made everything as easy as possible for someone who has not previously been on a self-drive holiday to France or Spain. Our call centre staff have received extra training so they are better equipped than ever to offer advice to meet the caller's specific holiday requirements, and have improved the pre-departure briefing pack. As a French company we, of course, know France well and not only inspect every property but we also provide support for our clients whilst they are on holiday through our own highly trained local staff. This, together with our price match guarantee*, means that our clients can be confident they have got the best possible deal and feel reassured that in the unlikely event that something goes wrong, they will not be left to fend for themselves as they would if they to built their own package."

All Brittany Ferries holidays begin and end with a relaxing cruise, during which customers are able to make the most of fine restaurants, comfortable bars and lounges, and live entertainment. On overnight crossings they can catch up on a good night's sleep in their own en-suite cabin, arriving fresh for the drive to that perfect holiday cottage.

All Brittany Ferries Holidays can be booked on www.brittanyferries.com/holidays, or by calling  08705 360 360.
*If you can find an identical holiday for less, Brittany Ferries will match the price and give you £38 worth of dining vouchers for use in any on-board restaurant.
