Merlin Pass - is prebooking a nightmare?
I'm thinking of getting a merlin pass (specifically the cheaper discovery pass - the limited dates isn't an issue for me).

I’m hiring a motor home in the spring but the excess is (understandably) high. I’ve bought car hire excess cover before but I’m struggling to find something similar for motor home hire in the UK. Does anyone know of anywhere that does this that they’d recommend? Thanks

Travel insurance / protection on private rental bookings?

Is this Fair
Is this fair, a couple of weeks ago I booked a weekend break at Potters Resort in July 20022, at the time I also took out the option which they promoted of extra cancellation deposit. Unfortunately I mixed up the dates for another holiday so I phoned to cancel this week, which they said they would, but less the deposit…

Staying At A Hotel
Usually, do you pay for your stay when you get to the hotel? Or do you pay for your stay when you check out? I can remember going to various countries and we would pay on check out, but a hotel I stayed in in London asked for the payment upfront, upon check in which I thought was a bit strange.

Ripped off by booking.com and Britannia hotel
I booked a room at Sachas hotel (Britannia) at 00:30 on 09/10/21. When I got to the hotel 30 minutes later I was told by the doorman that check in stopped at 00:00 but I shouldn't worry as I would not be charged for the reservation. Needless to say Sachas charged me the full fee at 09:00 am. I have disputed the transaction…

Insurance cover for UK trips (cancellation ) post Covid
Prior to Covid, any UK booked trips were covered by the fact that I had an annual policy for overseas holidays. It wasn't usually possible to cover for a UK only single trip. I haven't yet booked a trip abroad and, even if I do, it may be a single trip so not worth buying annual cover. I would like to book a UK trip but I…
