I was trying to book a week away starting in the next few days and realised this is quite difficult now.
If e.g. you are going Wednesday to Wednesday and the Saturday night is not available, it used to be possible to book Wednesday-Saturday and Sunday-Wednesday separately, then keep refreshing to see if anyone cancelled the Saturday night.
I would then either get the Saturday night or have to try another site.
Unfortunately my wife and I have jobs which mean this is the only viable way for us to do holidays, our work is very unpredictable so it is very difficult to plan months in advance. That's why we have a caravan!
With the new system you now have to wait for all of the nights to become free at once (not likely!), or risk losing the entire deposit.
I suppose there won't be many cancellations now anyway so no chance of picking up a last-minute getaway if one or two of the nights are full, which is a shame really.
