Flights could be a problem. There are two airports in southern Cyprus, Paphos (39 miles from Limassol) and Larnaca (44 miles from Limassol). Scyscanner.net shows that there are, at some times, flights to both these airports from Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, East Midlands, Glasgow, Gatwick, Luton, Manchester, Newcastle & Stansted (to Paphos only). I've tried every combination of departure and arrival airports for the dates you require and the only suitable flights on offer are from Gatwick to Paphos with First Choice. The outbound flight leaves at 0730, arriving at 1410. The return flight leaves at 2105, arriving at 0005. Total flight costs, including taxes, are �186.91 per person.

(Stop Press: Its only �179.50 if you book direct with First Choice! : http://www.firstchoice.co.uk/flights/ )
(More Stop Press: I've just found that Cyprus Airways are offering return flights from Heathrow to Larnaca on the dates you require but, since they're charging �254 before taxes, I'll assume that you'd prefer the Gatwick flights. See here for more information: http://www.cyprusairways.com/ )

(2nd Part):
Transfers from Paphos to Limassol can be pre-booked, at a return cost of �73.08 per person, here:
http://www.shuttledirect.com/en/php/airport_shuttle_dire ct.php?cod=KZQ1108723610NCE
There don't seem to be any buses. (The First Choice website mentions coach transfers for customers on its inclusive holidays but doesn't seem to provide any way of booking these for other passengers. Phone 0870 850 3999 to check).
Neeedahotel.com is one of the best sites for cheap accommodation but their own website is not particularly user friendly. It's far easier to access their database via Ryanair's site. (You don't have to be a Ryanair customer). You don't state what type of accommodation you require but, as an example, a twin-bedded room (with breakfast) in the 4-star Marathon Beach hotel (5km from Limassol city centre) is quoted (for the dates you require) at a total of �208 for two people. If you'd rather be in the main tourist district, the equivalent figure for the Mediterranean Beach hotel (also 4-star, with breakfast) is �316.

(When using that site, please note that the initial list of destinations in the pull-down menu only shows Ryanair destinations. Just look further down for Limassol).
I hope that this might be of somehelp to you,

More 'Stop Press':
If Manchester is a better airport for you, Cyprus Airways have flights (to Larnaca) on the dates you require but you'd have less time in Cyprus because it's an afternoon flight out and a morning flight back:
Out at 1400 (arrive 2030). Back at 0810 (arrive 1230). The price is �199, plus taxes, per person.
CORRECTION TO EARLIER POST: The cost of that pre-booked transfer from Paphos to Limassol should have been �93.08 (NOT �73.08 as I said - never expect a maths graduate to be able to add up!). Transfers from Larnaca are the same price. Although you could probably get from Larnaca airport to Limassol by bus on the Wednesday, there are no services back on the Sunday.

Yet another flight option, Heathrow to Larnaca with BA:
Out 0830 (arrive 1500). Back 1610 (arrive 1920). Fare �193.60 per person, including taxes.

Yet more with BA. (The flight is actually with GB Airways):
Gatwick to Paphos, out at 1000 (arrive 1640). Back at 2100 (arrive 2345). Fare �218.10 per person, including taxes.
(Obviously, there's nothing to stop you 'mixing and matching' these offers. i.e. fly out with one airline and back with another. You'll have to explore to see what's best for you.).
