HOLIDAYMAKERS can book their breaks online thanks to a new site set up by two friends.

Mandy Bruce, from Whitstable, and Rob Caira , from Herne Bay, designed www.zzzs.co.uk to help holiday home owners promote their properties direct.

The site works on a calendar system which the pair believe is unique.

Mrs Bruce said: We believe that many people decide on their holiday dates first, before they know where they want to go.

"It often proves very time consuming finding accommodation to match these dates. Zzzs cuts through all this.

"You simply put your dates in and see what's available, or alternatively, you may want to go to a specific place sometime in the future but can't find any accommodation.

"Zzzs will give you available details and dates at a glance."

The site also allows estate agents who offer investment properties in holiday locations to link into the site.
