Anyone used directholidays.co.uk?

I am looking to book a holiday through Directholidays.co.uk, has anyone had any experience with them and would you recommend them?

I have noticed they are not ABTA registered but are ATOL, is this a problem?

Thanks

I also have had a couple of great holidays. Recently seem like they are a bit overpriced though. Most holidays with Direct are also on Globespan now. Might save you a bit
