Good value for a city break

I've booked a fair few city breaks over the years so I know what a reasonable package looks like. This one had a decent hotel near the station and the flights were on time. The only thing I'd have liked was a clearer note about the room size before booking.

The cottage was lovely

Booked a cottage in the Peak District through them and it was really nice. Check in was quick and the place looked just like the photos. Only downside was the wifi was patchy, but we were there to get away anyway.

the coach tour package

We bought the seven day coach tour of the Lakes and it was really well run from start to finish. The driver knew every road and the hotels were clean and comfortable. Everything happened when the itinerary said it would.

great trip, booked with them

Brilliant trip, would book with them again. Booked on the app in about ten minutes, flights and hotel sorted. Rep at the resort was helpful and everything turned up as listed. Done.

a sound arrangement

I'd say the arrangements were thoroughly sound from beginning to end. Booking was straightforward and the documentation came through promptly. The hotel and transfers matched what was agreed, and I have no complaints to raise.

First time with them and the hotel was fine

Booked our first ever trip with them, a four night stay in Whitby for half term. The hotel was clean and the room was a good size, though the lift was out for two days and we were on the third floor with a pushchair. Got a message from them the night before to say the lift was being fixed, which was useful. Would probably book again.

Sorted the family hotel

Needed a family room near the coast that didn't cost the earth. Found one through them with the flights included, which saved us sorting it all separately. Everything arrived as booked and the kids loved it.

Booked our week away with them again

We needed somewhere to go after the hard year we had, and we've used Magnacartagin for our summer break for about six years now. Booking was easy as always, the hotel was exactly as described and the transfers ran on time. We'll be going back next year.

The walking holiday itinerary

What got me first was the detailed day by day itinerary on the site, which showed exactly where we'd be walking each morning. It was my first time booking a walking holiday and I didn't know what to expect. The guides were knowledgeable, the hotels were comfortable and every day ran as the itinerary promised.

not much cheaper but easier

Went with them instead of a big online agency because the booking page was clearer. Price was about the same, to be fair. Flights and hotel came as one thing, which was easier than juggling two sites.

Needed a last minute break

Had a rubbish week and needed a break, so I booked a last minute trip to Cornwall on my phone. The site made it easy to pick dates and the hotel was lovely. Only been a few days so far but I'm already planning the next one.

Got there in the end

We chose the package because the flights and hotel came bundled and it looked like a sensible saving on the separate bookings we'd looked at. Booking took a while as the payment page kept timing out, but the team did ring back. The hotel was a little tired around the edges and the breakfast was limited, but the holiday itself was fine and we'd probably use them again.

better than the big agencies

I'd got quotes from two high street agencies first and this was cheaper for the same flights and a better hotel. The booking page showed the full cost up front, no extra fees at the end. Trip was smooth and I'd pick them over the others.

Booked a weekend in Edinburgh

Booked a weekend in Edinburgh on the app, took about five minutes. The hotel was nice but the room was a bit small. The check in was quick though so I'm not really bothered.

Decent for the money

We needed a cheap short break for my mum's birthday and wanted to keep the cost down. The package was fine value compared with booking the pieces ourselves. The hotel was a bit further from the centre than the photos suggested, but it was clean and the room was ok.

First booking, cancellation was a pain

I'd never booked through them before and the detailed day by day itinerary was the first thing I noticed, which looked great. Then I needed to change the return date and the site wouldn't let me do it online, so I had to ring and wait on hold for almost forty minutes. They did sort it in the end but there was a fee I wasn't expecting. The hotel itself was fine. I'd think twice before booking again.

Better deal than the rival sites

Compared it with a couple of rival sites before booking and this was cheaper for the same flights and hotel, which was the main reason I picked it. The booking page was quick to use on my phone while I was on the bus. Once booked, the transfer and check in all went as planned and I had no problems, so I'd happily use them again for a short trip.

pricier than the other sites

Compared with the other sites I've used, this came out a fair bit dearer for the same hotel and flights. Booking was simple and the trip itself was good. Still, you do pay a premium for the convenience, so it's a bit of a mixed feeling.

Sorted in minutes

Booked a city break on my phone in about five minutes. Got confirmation straight away and the hotel was exactly what I'd picked. Would book with them again, honestly the easiest trip I've organised.

Compared a few first and this won

Before booking I looked at three other sites for a long weekend in Bath, and the price for the flights and hotel together was lower here than all of them. The filters on the search page actually worked, so I could sort by hotel rating without it resetting every time. Everything matched what was shown and the rep rang to confirm the transfer details the day before. Would use them again without a second thought.
