Had a lovely weekend away in Scotland

Had a lovely weekend away in Scotland, beautiful hotel, great food and service. The booking all went very smoothly, we will definitely be booking more breaks through British Breakaways.

Dont fall for it! they badger so many people with the same offer, total pain company....leave people alone!

Does not take 2 weeks or so to get a hotel booking done!!!!!

Honestly the worst service I’ve received. I first emailed them for the dates that I wanted and then emailed me saying that the bookings for February were open the next day THEN said to me today that the bookings are closed off due to the high demand of travellers wanting to travel in the UK AND THEN call them again and mention that booking in the month are fully booked??? Does not make sense to me at all. How can you say bookings are open then it’s closed and fully booked in a week? I have waited for 2 weeks for a response to my query for dates and places I want in the UK but waited too LONG than expected. An agent said that the person that deals with emails would “call” me, never received a call or even an email for updates; called in majority of the days just to get an update and nothing had changed unless you push them to do something. Customer service is poor. I rate the service is appalling with bookings. It does not take 2 weeks to book a hotel!!!! Glad they sorted me out for a March booking in case they say it’s “fully booked”. Do not recommend this website for hotel bookings!

Hi Michelle
We are sorry to hear about your delay in getting your break booked. After reviewing your file we can see, that at the time of you placing the requested we was experiencing staff shortages due to staff having to isolate, we are sorry once again but we are pleased that you have now got your break booked for March.

I took an offer over the website that was recommended to me and just used it in London, the customer service was pretty straightforward, the hotel was in a good spot and was more than worth the money.

definitely put a smile on my face!

Just got back from the Hampton by Hilton hotel decent trip good for the value of money booking was easy just did it on their website Hotel was really easy to check in would probably use them again not bad experience the only reason I’m not giving it five stars due to the fact that they didn’t have a hotel in The first area I chose in Ireland. However saying that I would recommend them and would use them again in the future.

Not worth the stress and constant phone calls.

Phoned me up and pretended I had won a competition, then later told me I had to buy breakfast to 'win' my weekend break. I stupidly did so, and somehow breakfast equals £82.17 for 2 nights at a cheap hotel!

I then phoned to just cancel it as so far I had been bombarded with phonecalls (8 in the space of a day!) from them. Every phone call they said something different and enjoy riling you up.

They also never state their names at the beginning of the call - I wonder why!

Lucie is the only agent who gave me her name and treated me with respect.

Do not judge before giving them a try

After seeing all these negative reviews I was put off but having already paid my money I decided to give them a try. Just got back from my break in Oxford at the Holt Hotel and can’t speak highly enough of the overall experience. Brilliant hotel already looking to go back.

*Instagram competition - a load of rubbish!

*Instagram competition - runner up prize*

Wow. The person that called me was so rude. The first call was fine, but I asked them to call me back as it is a big commitment to pay £82 for breakfast and I needed to confirm with my partner. They called back in an hour and I said we have changed our minds. Also we are both vegan and the hotel I had chose did not have vegan options except fruit and cereal. He then said 'but you're paying £82 for the hotel. For a 4 star hotel' that's not what I was told. Throughout the first call I was told we had to pay for the £17 breakfast pp for two nights plus VAT = £82. NOT the hotel. I also said, as my partner had explained, you shouldn't really be paying for something you win. Then the person said 'but you didn't win. You came runner up.' Very rudely. But still, if you are runner up in a competition you don't usually pay for anything?!

I said I will leave it and he said 'fine we'll give it to someone else and hung up!'

Great customer service you got there!!

In my opinion no matter what place you come, if you are winning a competition you shouldn't be paying for anything.

Good morning. Thank you for your review, firstly we want to apologise as we don’t want any customer to feel this way. Sadly as was explained to you, you we’re selected as a runner up therefore offered a break on the premise that you would receive the hotel accommodation for free by paying for breakfast. If anything changes and you would like to take advantage of the promotion please let us know, thank you. British Break Away

Don’t believe all the negative reviews…

Don’t believe all the negative reviews you see on here regarding British Breakaway,
I can obviously only speak about my own experience with this company but an honestly say I have nothing but good things to say about the service we recieved.
Without going into all the ins and outs, we had a fabulous stay, at an amazing hotel, and everything was exactly as we were told it would be.
British Breakaway are a lovely company to deal with and I highly recommend using their services, you won’t be disappointed

Can’t stop laughing 😂

Having just had the phone put down on me with a clerk saying “we will give the two night holiday to some one who appreciates it” I did have a little giggle at having not been conned in to something they’re so desperate to give away !!!! BE WARNED!

Instagram Scam

Entered a competition on Instagram, got a phone call saying I had won the ‘runner up prize’ for a three day break. But, I could only claim it if I pre-paid breakfast for two people, three days at £17.00 per person. What breakfast at an Ibis costs that much? It’s a complete scam, avoid.
