Blimey, I have just booked the Thistle Inverness myself after looking at it for a few days!!!
I'm there (hopefully) from April 2nd to 7th.
I had such a nice time in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago, I thought I would go to Scotland again!

I have just had the 'sent to head office' email within 2 hours of claiming!!!

I booked 'room only' and the comparison was with all-hotels.com.

Might see some of you up there!

What about organising MSE-EJH meeting in Inverness over Easter then ? ;-)
Looks like more people want to get there in April. (Christal)

Since my name was mentioned by Dusan, have to say that I won't be going for the easter now..........as hubby doesn't want to drive all the way down.......and doesn't want me to drive for some time on the road as "I will be driving 60miles only...", so on that note, I'm not going to scotland for the easter. Shame, would be nice to meet up with other MSEs....but still trying to convince him to go in the summer as he hates hot weather, so hopefully the nice cool scotish weather will be come iresistable to him.

But I am looking at booking something else using superbreak as comparison website, so it's always a good news that they are accepted by EJH.

I will not be driving to Inverness either, it's too far from Sheffield. I booked a flight for £42 return from East Midlands and hiring a car from Avis for £79/6days using an AWD code from found on https://www.flyertalk.com ;-)

Well if it's too far to drive to Inverness from Sheffield.......no wonder my OH thinks it's too far from Bucks!

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if Hotels Central are a company that fit the conditions for the offer? It doesn't appear in budgetflyers list... I would like to try for the offer but don't want to fall at the first hurdle so any advice gratefully received

If it helps any, the hotels central offer is B&B whereas the Hotelopia offer is not including breakfast - does this mean it is not a valid comparison?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure about Hotels Central, but if one includes breakfast and the other doesn't, then it is not a valid claim. Sorry! x

Hi all, I have been finally paid last week for a stay in Budapest on the second week in Feb.

I have read that they have changed their T&C's slightly to only cover cities they fly from the UK to. Is this true and as i was wondering if I can still claim if i can find a Hotel in Copenhagen?
If the answer is yes, any recommendations for the first weekend in May?

Thanks DMG24, what a shame... could have been a bargain over the may bank holiday for £150!

i think they fly to copenhagen so you should be ok, but correct me if i am wrong.
