UK holidays, days out & entertainments

I booked a last min stay in Blackpool, I booked a B&B/Hotel called Grand Beach Hotel when I arrived there were 2 set of guests complaining, when I got my keys I went back to my room to find a couple in bed it turned out it was not my room and they gave me the wrong keys, when I finally got to my room it was not fit for…

I'm looking to travel from Blackpool to Cupar (Fife) in about three weeks and I've looked on train line and it's showing £99 ish on there, is this a good price? Also I've never travelled on a train alone before am stressing about getting on the wrong one etc and also leaving my luggage in the rack and having to go away…

Today we travelled up to Scotland on a Virgin train. Shortly after departing, an announcement on the PA said there was free WiFi for everyone onboard who had booked online with Virgin Trains - remember that, Virgin Trains. We managed to log in only to be met with a screen saying we had 15 free minutes but after that a…

I have just come across these Hub hotels for the 1st time while looking a prices for a short budget break in Edinburgh. I can see that there is no parking and that the rooms are smaller. Neither of these is a problem for me. Are there any other significant differences (compared to the main Premier Hotels)? Would you…

I have a 12 year old going to Alton towers during half term. She's been told to take money for food and drinks. It's years and years since I went there, anybody have a guess at how much she'll need for the day?

Hi, I am visiting Blackpool for the day tomorrow. I am disabled and use a mobility scooter so would like a car park near the pleasure beach as that is were my family want to go. The idea is we will have a look at the illuminations before we head home. But we don't want to drive through the illuminations in our car. Thanks

Good Morning All This is a general shout out to all those of you who may run a B&B, guesthouse, or self-catering accommodation..... Have you actually slept the night in your guest beds recently???? (and I don't mean a quick 30 second lie down) When staying away from home, the most important thing, IMO, is getting a good…

Hi all, I am thinking of doing a home swap holiday. I'm finding it really hard to find out what the legal situation is. I've found various template swap agreements on the internet, but they really don't look like binding agreements. My main concern is what happens in the worst case - say the other party end up refusing to…

We are going to a wedding in Edinburgh at the end of the month and have booked into a hotel there for several night with booking.com planning to make it into a holiday break. The hotel price (for a double room) including free cancellation up to 24 hours before, and breakfast, is £928. No payment before you arrive. My…

I'm looking to book the London Eye for 7 people in November but I'm trying to find a deal or discount code! I've seen a good deal through Tesco Clubcard (£2.50 voucher plus £10 cash a ticket) but it's only valid until October. Does anyone know if Tesco usually offer Clubcard deals for the Eye? Or any other ways to shave a…

Has anyone on here got an issue with Pontins as I have? seems to me they charge between £200 and 3400 per chalet per week and then offer a standard "oh dear here's £50 quid" letter when you complain about the disgusting, filthy hovel they call a holiday park...... anyone??:mad:

Cheapest way someone has found to get in? We are 2 adults and a child (6). I’ve got some Tesco club card points and Nextar points & will try and an probably get a 2 for 1 voucher from Kellogg’s or Cadbury’s but I guess these can’t be used all together? Any combos that would work on a day ticket or any discount on a two…

Hi Does anybody know of any discounts/voucher codes for the Sandcastle Waterpark in Blackpool. I'm looking to take 4 x 16 year olds (and myself) and it's a bit pricey unless I can find a way of discounting it. Many thanks

We have recently retired and wondering what places in the UK that are good days out or even a couple of days away, in winter. We live in mid Cheshire. Don't mind how far we travel and can use the car, bus or train. We are holidaying abroad in November so that's our sunshine sorted. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
