Uk Holiday Travel Insurance Claim
Just seeing if anyone knows the answer to this. We bought a Haven holiday for our daughter her partner and 2 children, paid for on our debit card.

Concert ticket shambles
Hi, apologies in advance if this is the wrong place. I bought tickets to an event in June on my debit card. I got an email last week stating that it had been cancelled and I was getting a refund.

UK log cabins
Hi everyone, I've been looking for a log cabin in the UK (ideally North-West England or North Wales) for May time however they all appear to have a minimum stay requirement.

Agricultural Shows
I've been going to the one local to me since I was a young child but since the venue changed, its gone downhill badly. The crowds are absolutely horrendous. We paid a fortune in, almost £50 for the two of us, and it annoying to not be able to see anything due to the crowds. Could anyone recommend another one? Anywhere in…
What rights does a customer have?
So, there is a lady who rents out holiday park caravans and chalets online in Hemsby near Great Yarmouth. She states on her facebook page that she does not own all of the 11 properties she lets out and she is acting on behalf of the owners. All money is paid to her for the holidays and she also says that should a problem…
Damage charge to a UK holiday home caused by a young child - help!
Hi, we stayed in a UK holiday cottage last week for a family Easter break. My young son made some marks on the wood cladding of the building using a stick. The scratches are visible but are really not that big a deal - the cladding is 'rough-cut' and the whole ethos of the accommodation is eco and rustic. The owners, via…

Britania Hotel Nottingham AVOID.
So we went to see the new musical Tommy in Nottingham and our DD booked Saturday night in an "executive" double room at the Britania Hotel in Nottingham.
