UK holidays, days out & entertainments

Hi, there are lots of websites where you can search for self-catering accommodation in Britain, but does anyone know of a website where you can limit the search to just those with a super king size bed and a big shower? Me and my wife are more than twelve foot between us so these are pretty much showstoppers for us, and so…

Hi all We’re going to the Isle of Wight on Sunday for 6 days. I know there’s tons to do outside but sadly the weather forecast is not good, some thunder/lightning and quite a bit of rain. Knowing how fickle the Met Office can be we’re hoping it will be better than the forecast :D Can you suggest some nice indoor things…

Hi. I'm thinking of going to Jersey for a fortnight by car/ferry in the autumn. Any advice on where to stay etc. With a car we can stay inland, but are we then penalised if we want to come to the port towns re parking and accessibility? I can't find any recent advice on MSE. Are the ferries ok at the moment, or are they…

Hi, Thinking about a short break in whitby and would like to take our cockapoo. Looking for recommendations for dog friendly hotels or holiday accommodation close to all the amenities. Thanks

I would like to draw attention of Expedia’s Price Match Promise which I mistakenly thought applied to hotel bookings, and which is not clear on their website. I booked two rooms for several days for a family trip in the UK. I later discovered the rooms on the hotel’s own website were several hundred pounds cheaper for the…

I am looking to stay in London for a few nights (Friday - Sunday) and noticed the prices are bananas compared to last year (about triple the price of some hotels). Is there any other sites to use which looks or is it pretty much the usual (Airbnb, booking and late rooms etc?). I have tried looking at B&bs but they seem…

Good afternoon, I apologise if this is in the wrong area, please move it if necessary. I wonder if anyone can provide some advice. I recently booked a week in a Devon apartment through booking.com which was very clearly listed as having a washing machine and patio, amongst other issues. On arrival at the apartment we found…

I went to book a caravan for Sept 2022 and found the same caravan, for the same dates, on both Booking.com and vrbo.com. The difference was that the Booking.com price was a massive £204 less - £568 on Vrbo.com £364 on Booking.com. The difference was so great I was concerned that the Booking.com listing could be a scam, but…

Hi, Have booked Travelodge few months back for myself and family in London. Upon checking in we noticed a lot of tools in the corridors, cafe and bar were closed for refurbishment, our room was not ready (7pm) as carpet change was still under way. During our stay noise and dust were constant across the hotel. Duty manager…

Wasn't sure whether to put this in consumer rights forum but thought people more likely to look here before going on holiday. I'll try to be clear and succinct about our experience first. Re-grading of caravans and your possible downgrade. A lot of people booked before the grades of caravan were changed. We paid for a Dog…

Are there any offers or vouchers available for Blue planet aquarium please? I have searched online and cant see any so just checking in case I have missed an offer. Thanks

Hey everyone, We're able to slip in one last family holiday outside of school holidays as our son starts school in September, but one week after everyone else goes back. We'd usually go to St Ives in Cornwall, firm, firm favourite for many years. However, with a six week old baby when we're due to go it's just a bit too…

Something ‘higher end’, relatively central but affordable please. Thanks 

Hi As we all know, passport application wait times are up to 10 weeks. I submitted an application for me and my partner at the beginning of May, and submitted our identity confirmation stuff. About a week after the status changed from ‘Identity Details Received’ to ‘Application in Progress’. It said this for about a month,…

Hi, I promised my daughter a couple of days at alton towers earlier this year (we couldn't go on all the roller-coaster we wanted when on holiday in Florida) I have booked a nights stay at a fairly local b&b but wasn't sure on the best way to book 2 consecutive days tickets. On the website - it looks like there is a fair…

I am considering a mini break by train to Liverpool City Centre for 3 nights in September. I won't have car transport so will be walking around a lot. To see as much as possible, would it be practical to choose a hotel near the Albert Dock or closer to the Centre/Lime St station ? I will probably be staying at Premier Inn…
