    They don't really do deals anymore as they've changed the booking system. The sooner you book the cheaper it is. You can now book up to 18 months in advance. Also check the school calendar as you may be surprised what you can find! Some schools have their holidays earlier/later than their peak times & you may save £££!
  • Who would want to book 18 month in advance? Geez thats a joke.

    Thats what it seems, I am trying to book for November 2010. Not during half term either

    there is an entry field for voucher or discount offer codes on booking page, so clearly there is intention for some kind of offer.

    They do have codes esp if you've been & intend to book withing X amount of days of returning home then you enter the code & I believe you need your booking ref too.

    I thought if you booked within x amount of time they didn't give you it cheaper but they did guarantee to give you the difference back if the price fell.

    Now that's an interesting point. In theory the 'come back soon' offer doesn't discount directly BUT I did a price check the other day while at work and didn't have my old booking ref, I had a price then when I went to check at home with the ref number it did come out cheaper by £150. I double checked incase the price had dropped and I got the same results. Was this just a glitch? maybe?

    i always thought that you could get either 5/10/15/20% off the breaks if you booked afted you gt back! I've seen it on a pamphlet on the guest services desk.
