Oliver's Travels

A short break in the Peak District was what we booked, and the verdict is that it was perfectly satisfactory. The cottage was clean and the directions in the confirmation were clear. The price was a little on the high side against other sites, though I suppose the flexibility on cancellation may account for that.

I bought the escorted nine day trip around Scotland after comparing four different operators. The guide was knowledgeable and the coach had proper leg room, which mattered on the long days. Every hotel matched the description and the pacing of the trip felt right throughout, with plenty of free time in each town.

Honestly they're good value for a family break and I'd happily use them again. We compared a few sites and this one came out cheapest for a three bed villa in Spain. A small niggle was the deposit being taken earlier than I expected, but the balance reminder came through on time.

Checked three sites first and this one had the lowest price for the Lisbon city break. The dates were easy to pick and the flights and hotel came as one booking. Would use again.

Booking through them was a bit cheaper than going direct to the hotel in Dublin, and the rooms showed the same photos. The confirmation pack had everything in one place, which I liked. The rep at the hotel was helpful when we arrived late.

We needed somewhere to sort the trip out quickly after my husband's mother was taken ill and we had to change plans at short notice. The team on the phone were patient and helped us rebook the hotel without fuss. Everything was sorted within an afternoon and we felt looked after at a difficult time.

I've been booking with them for going on nine years and the process hasn't changed much, which I like. The hotel photos matched what we got in Torquay this time. Payment went through first time and the confirmation was waiting in my inbox.

We have been booking our summer trips with them for about eight years now because we needed somewhere reliable that handled the paperwork. They have never let us down on the hotel or the transfers. Still the same easy booking process as always.

Compared to the other sites it was a bit dearer for the same hotel in Brighton, which annoyed me. Booking itself was quick and the confirmation came through straight away. Trying to change the date took three days to get a reply from support, and the room was not quite as the photos showed either.

Honestly yes, book it. Found a city break to Edinburgh for less than the other sites and the checkout took about two minutes on my phone. Hotel was exactly as listed and the reminder emails were useful.

Compared with a couple of other sites this one was not the cheapest for a city break to Amsterdam, which I noticed. The booking itself was quick and clear. The hotel was fine but the room was smaller than I expected from the photos.

We needed a holiday that didn't involve sorting flights ourselves, so a package seemed sensible. The booking page was a bit fiddly with the room options but support answered our question within the hour. The transfer from the airport to the hotel was on time and the rep was friendly.

Compared to booking direct with the hotel chain, this was way cheaper for the same room in Bath. The site showed the total with fees upfront which the others did not. Stay was fine and the check in was quick.

Got a bit of a shock that the taxi transfer from the airport in Porto wasn't included, it was listed as optional at the bottom. Still the hotel was nice and the booking was quick on the app. Sorted in the end.

We booked the coach and rail package for a few days in York, which was the first time we had used a tour company for something like this. The booking page was clear enough and the confirmation came through straight away. The only small niggle was that the pickup point was listed a little vaguely, so we had to check the details twice before we set off. Otherwise everything ran smoothly and the hotel was very pleasant.

The hotel itself had a proper claw foot bath and a view of the castle from our room, which none of the other sites mentioned. We looked at three or four other companies before settling on them, and the price was the easiest to compare. Confirmation came through within minutes and the hotel was exactly as shown.

Got a last minute break to Lisbon and they had decent deals. Booking took like five mins on my phone. Hotel was spot on and the transfer driver was a laugh.

We needed a budget week away for the kids before school broke up, so we looked for the cheapest package. They came out lower than the other sites we checked for the same apartment. The one thing was that the extras like the cot cost more than we expected to add on.

I bought the four night Rhine river cruise through their site after looking at a few others. The cabin was as described and the crew were courteous throughout, which I did appreciate. It was quite a relief to have the excursions arranged in advance rather than sorting them on arrival.
