Go Holiday is the only reference source you’ll need if you are looking for – or just thinking about looking for – a holiday cottage, apartment, or villa vacation in the UK, Florida and Europe. Holiday hotspots featured in this issue include that old favourite for the Brits – Spain’s Costa del Sol – and a region that’s becoming increasingly popular, Turkey’s Aegean coast. 

David Kernek writes about his ten-day villa break on Crete’s unspoilt north-west coast, and Juliet Rix has been to Poland, where she found that Zakopane is a resort town for all seasons. Jules Older gives us a guide to Orlando's entertainment scene. His report isn’t all about Disney stuff! 

We’ve got features about Aldeburgh in Suffolk, the Potteries, Londonderry, Carmarthenshire, and Mousehole in Cornwall. 

There’s plenty of holiday reading, and plenty of holiday choices for your next winter, spring, or summer break. Go Holiday .... taking you there.


This issue of Go Holiday is packed with ideas, tips, and reports from the country’s best travel writers for holidays overseas – and in what our American cousins like to call the homeland. 

Here are just some of them . . . 
- Award-winning travel writer Juliet Rix on 24 hours in Florence, the jewel of Tuscany;
- Kathryn Liston enjoys a drive along Ulster’s scenic north coast;
- Gillian Thornton takes time off in Shropshire, South Devon, Lincolnshire and Rutland;
- Solange Hando explores Pembrokeshire;
- Jane Doran chills out on the tiny Caribbean island that’s Tobago;
- Robin McKelvie explains why movie directors can’t resist Tenerife when looking for hot locations;
- Julia Berg has been to Benidorm, and reveals the story of the Bikini Revolution that established the town as Europe’s package holiday capital;
- Paul Craig and Robin McKelvie give you the secrets of Cyprus .

Happy – and safe – holidays!

In this issue our writers report from some of Britain’s finest holiday regions, including the Lake District, Cornwall, North Yorkshire, and Scotland’s west coast. For readers who can’t bear to leave their dogs in kennels or with friends when they take a UK holiday, Aidan Goldstraw has advice on finding dog-friendly self-catering cottages.

If you are determined to get some guaranteed summer sun in 2015, we take a look at some well-established favourites such as Majorca, Cyprus, Orlando, and the Algarve – and emerging hot spots such as Croatia and Sicily. Richard Bevan spots some attractive holiday offers in Turkey, Britain, Florida and Austria. Gillian Birch, a Florida transplant from Cornwall, quickly discovered a quieter side to this world-famous theme park destination; no neon, no queues, and not a roller coaster ride in sight. It’s Orlando un-plugged.

Go Holiday Worldwide .... taking you there.

This is the second issue of our new-look Go Holiday – Britain’s (and possibly the world’s) – only magazine dedicated solely to helping you find cottage, villa, and apartment vacations worldwide that suit as many tastes and budgets as possible.

There’s an ever-so-slight hint of a literary theme (no, don’t let that put you off!) in this issue.... it's packed with fascinating insights, articles and tips on where to go and what to do by our award-winning writers.

Gillian Thornton enjoyed a break in Shakespeare Country, also known as Warwickshire. She also extols the delights of Hampshire, in which county Jane Austen wrote the first draft of Pride & Prejudice. 

The weather wasn’t kind to Diana Cambridge during her holiday in North Cornwall, and Padstow wasn’t looking at its best … but what British seaside resort does in March? 

Alison Thomas explores the landscapes of Exmoor, while way up north, Robin McKelvie introduces us to the mountains and forests (and whisky distilleries) of Britain’s largest national park – the Cairngorms. 

Judy Boyd and Kathryn Liston venture into the sunbelt, and send dispatches from their favourite destinations – the Canaries and the Costa Blanca.

Most of us are lucky enough to be able to get on and off planes, boats and trains without even thinking about it. Kathryn Liston looks at what’s being done in the UK and abroad to ensure that people with physical disabilities can get accessible tourist facilities and accommodation.

Go Holiday Worldwide .... taking you there.

In this debut issue of our new-look magazine, Gillian Thornton enjoys a relaxing get-away in North Devon, and looks across the Channel to Normandy, which this year is celebrating the work of France’s great Impressionist painters. Juliet Rix extols the joys of Italy’s Amalfi coast, and tells us about the re-invention of Malta’s fortress capital, Valetta, where opportunities for self-catering holidays in historic houses are opening up.

John Law reports on what are likely to be 2013’s big vacation trends, Lesley Dolby has tips for people weighing up the pros and cons of the Florida holiday home market, Diana Cambridge explains how foodies can make their self-catering cottage a home-from-home, and we take a look at what Jersey – 100 miles but a world away from mainland Britain – has to offer.

If you’re thinking about planning a spring or summer break – and wanting to find the holiday cottage, villa or apartment that’s just right for you – this is the place to start!

Go Holiday Worldwide Magazine - Spring 2013

The aim of the Go Holiday Worldwide magazine is to provide UK, Europe and worldwide holiday, tourism and travel news, views, information and comment for consumers and self-catering providers alike. ‘UNIQUE’ is a much over-used adjective these days, but it’s the right word to describe Go Holiday Worldwide magazine. 

Published in Britain for more than 25 years, it’s the only travel and tourism magazine that’s focused on the growing self-catering sector worldwide … everything from cottages in the Outer Hebrides to Cornwall and apartments and villas from the Mediterranean to Barbados. Written by travel experts with many award-winners among them, it features travel and tourism news and expert location reports showcasing the best of holiday regions and vacation attractions globally.

With the self-catering sector expanding, it’s not difficult to see why: the advantages of a cottage or villa break have rarely been more obvious and attractive. 

• They are in many cases less expensive than hotel stays
• They save you money that can be spent on the treats that make a get-away even more enjoyable
• They offer the flexibility, freedom, and privacy that hotels can’t provide.

Go Holiday Worldwide is your passport to this holiday heaven!
