    www.travelrepublic.co.uk would be a good place to start.

    Depends a bit on where you are going though.

    I am using Thomas Cook this year but would recomend looking on https://www.alpharooms.com .
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.

    I used Lowcostbeds last year and had no problems. Will probably use them again this year. I found a site called https://www.sunshine.co.uk which can do the accomodation I want a little cheaper, but I don't know if they are any good.

    Personally, I would always recommend booking direct with the hotel - if you know which hotel..! The should be able to offer you the best deal and at least there's no "middle-man" to confuse the issue.
    have a look at my other thread too...

    Good luck!
    I am the General Manager of an hotel in Telford and am happy to offer advice. I can't promise to be perfect, but I'm happy to try to help.

    In my experience booking direct with the hotel (for holidays abroad)has rarely worked out cheaper for the accom i have wanted and i have tried it many times.

    I think this works best at small hotels and UK hotels. In Spain for example it is normal to get quoted much higher than a tour operator price and some hotels just won't even offer you the option.
