Does Booking Accommodation Direct Have Any Any Benefits
I was looking to book a weekend away in Blackpool for a large group meetup. I have found a lovely-looking holiday home on Airbnb but also came across the same place on another website where you can book directly with the owners. Do you think there are any benefits to booking directly with the owners, apart from the obvious…

Camping without a car, possible?
Hi folks, As my title says, do people think it is possible to go camping with two people without a car? Are there places I could get to that have good facilities that are near train stations or bus routes in England or Wales? Or am I being unrealistic thinking I could lug camping gear across public transport? If anyone has…

Easiest way to Manchester from Watford
Planning a weekend away. The options are drive, coach or train. For coach and train, I have to go all the way into London just to get a train or coach out again, so I was thinking car would be easiest (and probably) quicker (and maybe even cheaper!), but I'm not sure how easy it is to park in Central Manchester for a…

For single person (no hostels, please) - somewhere central, not miles out. I used to use a twin room for about £55 with en-suite at the European Hotel near Kings Cross, but their prices have gone up massively to £90+ since last year.

Europ Assistance insurance for AirBnB bookings - does it cover rail strikes?
I'm looking at booking an AirBnB during June, but wondering about cancellation policy due to rail strikes. Rail strikes aren't currently announced for mid June, but I don't want to chance it.

Booked hotels at trip.com or super.com?
I usually check booking.com, hotels.com and the hotel direct but I did comparison search at skyscanner and kayak and these 2 had the best price for the hotel I was looking at by almost a third which obviously makes you wonder.....

Hotels with ground floor rooms
How do we find one without actually ringing each potential hotel? The usual websites are not clear enough, and we don't need a room with disabled facilities. All we want is a room where we don't have to negotiate steps.

Airbnb Shocking
Does anyone know where I can complain about Airbnb that doesn't involve their absolutely useless Customer Support. They totally stressed out my partner and cost me £63 in phone calls. According to their UK support they can't transfer you to a manager, they can't transfer you to accounts, they can't give you a head office…

last minute cancellation UK holiday
We have cancelled 9 nights in a chalet in the UK. There is no insurance (it's canine surgery so would probably not be covered by standard travel policies anyway and we don't a travel extension on the pet insurance as I didn't realise they performed surgery at the drop of a hat). The Ts&Cs are clear - total loss. Is there…

Been to the Forest of Bowland?
Someone's suggested this is a good place to visit but when I looked at it online https://www.forestofbowland.com/ it's not just a forest and it's a massive area! So have no idea what's best to see and do a couple of moderate walks and where's best to stay as a base to do that. Would appreciate any tips/suggestions.

Booking changed without our consent
We've booked an apartment for a special date specific occasion. The owners/company have notified us today that they've moved our dates by a few days... Thus missing the event and my holiday. Can they do this? Surely booking confirmation is a contract?

Cineworld - Movies4Juniors start time
I'm thinking of taking the kids to the Movies4Juniors deal at Cineworld. The film is advertised to start at 10:10. Will the film start at that time, or will there still be 30 mins of ads/trailers like you get at 'normal' viewings, so in reality it doesn't start until gone 10:30?
