DHI Fact Sheets

We have received numerous enquiries from people requesting information for those without access to our internet search and for specific holiday information that we do not hold on the website. As a result of this we have compiled a number of individual factsheets available to download which you will find in the groups below. If you are unable to print the factsheets we will happily post them to you if you forward an A4 SAE to the address above. Please bear in mind that our database is continually being updated and we do not have the resources or man power to update the factsheets at the same rate, so not all accommodations that feature on the live search will be included although we do try to revisit them on a regular basis.
