The Scottish countryside 'hideaway' cottage retreat you can book for half price
One guest praised the accommodation as "stunning". A Scottish cottage getaway can currently be booked for half of the usual price. Previous guests have described the accommodation as "peaceful" and a "perfect little hidden hideaway". Cloncaird Castle offers luxury holiday cottages in Ayrshire. Situated around 12 miles out of Ayr, the estate sits within 140 acres of countryside and woodland and is home to eight self-catering holiday cottages. At the moment, Wowcher is offering a stay at Cloncaird Castle for as little as £159 plus a £7.99 admin fee. The usual price of a holiday at the estate is £330, equating to a discount of approximately 52 per cent. According to Cloncaird Castle, all of its cottages are "truly individual" and pet-friendly. Visitors can choose between a one-bedroom cottage for two or a two-bedroom cottage for four. All of the cottages on the estate come with fully fitted kitchens, dining and sitting areas, televisions, and underfloor heating. Some also feature open log fires. The estate also offers a range of experiences and activities for an additional fee. These include archery, axe throwing, and canoeing. Elsewhere, Cloncaird Castle is within easy reach of a number of magnificent beauty spots. Nearby highlights include Culzean Castle and Country Park, Dumfries House, and Galloway Forest Park. Cloncaird Castle has received very positive feedback from guests. On Google, the accommodation has an overall rating of 4.8 out of five based on 41 reviews. One previous visitor shared: "Despite my making a mistake with our booking, Robert the manager fixed it out for us and we all had a wonderful stay. The lodges are beautiful and the grounds quite exceptional. "It is such a peaceful place to spend a few nights and with so much to see and do in Ayrshire it really is worth a visit." A slightly less positive four-star review reads: "The first night there were a lot of moths and midges due to being near a lovely stream so I'd suggest to keep windows and doors shut which we did and the second night there wasn't any. Would recommend staying here." Another five-star writeup states: "Stayed in The Ayrshire Loft cottage. Grounds are stunning, location is dog friendly and very peaceful. "Private woodlands walks next to River Girvan. Perfect little hidden hideaway." If a stay at Cloncaird Castle does not appeal, there other accommodation options nearby in Ayr to choose from. These include the Fairfield House Hotel and the Brig o' Doon House Hotel. Further details about the Cloncaird Castle Cottages deal can be found on the Wowcher website.

Skyscanner says 'avoid' these 'peak days' to book holiday flight tickets
The travel search engine has explored its historical flight price data, revealing the optimal and least favourable times to book vacations Finding budget-friendly flight deals can often feel unattainable, but help might just be here. Skyscanner has released insights on the optimal and least favourable times to purchase international tickets, highlighting both seasonal trends and specific weekdays. The travel search engine examined historical data to uncover these trends and also tackled an ongoing debate in vacation planning: is it more advantageous to book early or to wait for last-minute deals? Sadly, there isn't a simple answer to this, as Skyscanner emphasises that it mostly depends on the route. Although less busy journeys or off-peak days might experience price drops as the departure date approaches, popular routes are likely to see prices rise significantly. Regardless of the season, Fridays and Sundays consistently rank as the least favourable days to book flights because of high demand. In contrast, statistics indicate that lower fares are typically found on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when purchases decline. "Based on past pricing trends, fares have dropped on Tuesday mornings after Monday deal releases," Skyscanner wrote last month. When asked if prices decrease nearer a departure date, it added: "Sometimes, especially if seats are still available. "But prices also tend to rise as departure nears. Last-minute deals exist, but they're never guaranteed. You can also use the Skyscanner Savings Generator to find the best time to book flights based on your route." Skyscanner advises that travellers should book short-haul flights at least one to three months prior to their departure to prevent disappointment. For long-haul flights, it is best to reserve tickets two to six months ahead of the journey. Travellers who want to keep an eye on changing flight prices can do so with Skyscanner's alert system. To set it up, simply choose a desired route and click the 'Get Price Alerts' button located at the top left corner of the website. To do this, you need a Skyscanner account because alerts will be sent to the email associated with your account. Google also provides a comparable alert system within its flight price monitoring tool. Google's current guidance reads: "You can track flight prices for specific dates or, if your plans are flexible, any dates. To get flight alerts for a specific round trip, choose your dates and flights and select Search. Then, you can turn on price tracking." It adds: "To find the cheapest fares, it's usually best to book at least a few weeks in advance for domestic flights and a few months in advance for international travel."
