Still dithering over what to do this summer?  If you’re feeling squeezed, why not try cramming all the best bits of a holiday into a 3 or 4-night short-break?  You’ll find that some hotels and tour operators will welcome you with open arms if you can fill the empty nights between longer pre-booked stays.  The Sands Resort in Cornwall is even offering up to 25% off some short-breaks in July and August.
