Michael Paul Holidays Launched

New Online UK Holiday Company Offers Great Deals With up to 50% off

LONDON, January 22 - Fuelled by last year's "staycation" phenomenon that saw a year-on-year
hike of 22 per cent in the numbers of people taking a UK summer holiday
(source: VisitEngland), a new holiday company launched this week. Michael
Paul Holidays is an online booking service at
www.michaelpaulholidays.co.uk. It specialises in personally vetted
self-catering holidays in beautiful lodges, log cabins, villas and caravan
holiday homes in England, Wales, Scotland and Eire. To celebrate its launch,
Michael Paul Holidays is offering exclusive deals:

    Retreats' luxury lodges in Cornwall and the Yorkshire Dales and at their

"I have spent over 25 years working in the holiday park industry and I
know the good, the bad and the ugly!" said founder, Michael Paul. "I have
travelled thousands of miles to vet all our holidays and am proud of what we
have to offer.

"We'll be adding new destinations every week, but only when they meet our
high standards regarding accommodation, location and on-site service - these
are things I will not compromise upon." concluded Michael Paul.

Through Michael Paul Holidays' association with Natural Retreats, guests
can stay in one of their outstanding eco-friendly, glass-walled residences on
the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, at their new location near St.
Austell in Cornwall or in a villa in southern Ireland in the grounds of a
castle or manor house, most with luxurious health spas and access to fishing
and golf.

They've also teamed up with Bluestone which has 5* grading from
VisitWales and is set in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
In this car-free environment, guests stay in a timber lodge in 500 acres of
countryside, can enjoy Bluestone's holistic spa, eat in two restaurants, use
the mini gym, sports club and Blue Lagoon waterpark.

Another choice is a Forest Holiday in a cosy log cabin with its own tree
house, wood burner and outdoor hot tub in one of five of England's or
Scotland's ancient forests.

Those on a strict budget are catered for at a number of holiday parks -
some peaceful, others more lively and likely to appeal to children -
particularly Par Sands in Cornwall with its safe, sandy beach. Other parks
are located in Scotland and the Lake District and all share top quality,
heated and insulated accommodation in great surroundings.

Michael Paul: "The end result of my travels around our beautiful country
is, I believe, that we offer an interesting and different choice of holidays.
I hope you'll visit our website soon."
