Love this chain especially the Club Rooms for a bit of extra luxury. I have booked a Club Room in our local hotel with breakfast for 2 for one night for every month of the year. I know that may sound a little sad, but for £20 each in a very cosy room with breakfast and the indulgence of the pools / etc I think its great value.

Thankyou Op.

Yes, I like to do this with my girlfriend and she loves it.




The wife isn't too happy though!

I was looking earlier to see if the sale had started yet, cheers for the heads up. Usually stay at Blackpool but thinking of trying Chester for a change.

I was looking at booking for Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Blackpool or Manchester. Is this £10 per night or £20 per night. Also do they sell family rooms as it would be for 2 adults and 2 children.

It's usually £20 per night based on 2 adults sharing however I was able to add 2 infants onto my booking without any extra charges last time but once you start putting children over 2 years old on the booking it charges you full price.

Any idea what the stay dates will be?

I was looking earlier to see if the sale had started yet, cheers for the heads up. Usually stay at Blackpool but thinking of trying Chester for a change.

Thanks for the heads up. Stayed at Blackpool for the first time a week ago, had a great time. Got a stay in Newcastle booked for Feb (Black Friday offer), might treat myself to another weekend or two later in the year if the offer is decent.

Thanks op. Am really gonna try and do this, this time. I never get organised, but am suffering from FOMO lately :smiley:

Hopefully a few bargains to be had

It can't be starting at midnight as I've stayed up for it so must be early morning

I had an email saying it was midnight. Cant see anything in their website yet?

Goes live at 9am. London one is in Watford so good for Harry Potter studios. I've stayed in the Bournemouth one and couldn't fault it

nice for just the 2, but is £55 for 4 people still not bad price

Be careful February calendar is incorrect xx days are dates are not right, haven't checked the others

Booked great deal thanks op

Where is it for £20???

please off anyone gets anything let us know

Facebook says Thursday at 9am

Still nothing come through ?

Yep, Thursday @ 9am. Stand down everyone

I stand corrected

Booked. Thanks for reminder

Has anyone had any luck with the sale yet I can't find anything online or from the link thanks

Managed to get an upgraded club room for a Friday night for £35

I've booked using the link I put up.

I've booked too. Thank you

Link worked for me. Thanks!

Thankyou Op, managed to book 4 x nights during half term! :smiley:

Been the watford one and the ebinburgh one had a lovelly stay both times

Brilliant deal. Thanks op, that's my Edinburgh trip sorted. Club rooms are only £40 per night instead of £98, worth the upgrade if you intend on spending more time chilling in the hotel.

Don't forget topcashback and the £2.50 breakfast!

not a thing on site when you go on.

Am I doing something wrong as clicked link and there all high prices.

Sure seems to be getting busy on their website . Wirral booked for my birthday :smile:

Try to do availability but i just get a v in the middle of screen

Anybody know the closest Manchester hotel is to city centre?

The 'V' means it is working . Site is extremely busy at the moment .

What the price will be for a family with 3 kids?
The website is busy the page is not loading

When do you have to book buy?

Booked Edinburgh. Thanks!!

It doesn't start until tomorrow it's stated on their Facebook page ?

Search is crashing for me.. :disappointed:

Looking at Chester, but it seems quite a way out from the hotel.
Not a problem, but is there anything to do in the immediate (hotel) area?

Edinburgh and Glasgow booked for £30 per night with breakfast for two.

Has anybody received a confirmation booking email yet????

Brilliant deal.. Just booked

Confirmation email received

Has anybody received a confirmation booking email yet????

Yep, all received

They have made a gigantic mistake then. Heads will roll no doubt!

The terms and conditions don't make sense.. The sale wouldn't be to the 6th Dec 2017?

Has anybody received a confirmation booking email yet????

Many thanks OP, booked 2 nights with breakfast in a family room in May for £60. Looking forward to it :sunglasses:

Stayed there Friday. There are a couple of pubs nearby (within 5 min walk) and Harwarden centre is around a 20 min walk which has some pubs and restaurants but don't expect a big night out. There are buses to Chester that leave nearby though and the train station is around 25 min walk.

Yes , straight away.

Thanks I booked 2hours ago but received nothing yet...The original post has disappeared of the site...The only link now is in this thread...Wasn't sure wether it was legit or not.

Ashton. There are 2 tram stops within a 5-10min walk which take 25 mins to city centre, every 12 mins. Also IKEA about 10-15 min walk, £1.50 breakfast until 11AM weekdays.

Still waiting on my confirmation email but checked my bank account and payment has gone through.

Thanks

+ 6.9% Topcashback

It's a terrible website tech-wise there are always problems with them sending confirmations out!

Dosent seem to be working for me

Booking system has now crashed. Well done HotUKders :smiley:

Did you try the link I put up (pg.2)? https://www.village-hotels.co.uk/offers/accomodation/january-sale/?awc=6537_1482920566_eccc59c860074a87682ca108f37bfd20&utm_source=affiliate_window&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=47868

the dates are all too pot

Really don't get it.
London Watford states i'd be booking a family room. 2x adults, 2x children
But only 2 guests

​It defaulted that for me as well but you should be able to change it

Thankyou

We have officially crashed the booking system!!! boo

When i select the option for 2 adults and 2 children, it doesn't give the option to select child's age? Do they ask for age later on in the booking?

I just called and it should say offer ends on '6th Jan 2017'.

I have the exact same problem

still just a V ... shame as I booked at 08:30 no problem

booked Manchester Ashton and Blackpool..... both booking confirmations through :smiley: great, thanks! been waiting for this to go live... had 2 rooms in the last sale - great offer!!

Any rooms in Glasgow?

The link isn't correct

Yes, quite a few including Friday nights.

Took a punt with Chester for July.
£60 for two nights including breakfasts both days and cashback tracked at around £4.
Bargain for around £28 p/n including breakfasts.
Wetherspoons within two miles too. :smile:

Final stage of booking still not working

Either site has crashed due to HDUK or they have pulled the booking process as realised this wasn`t meant to start until tomorrow.

I have phoned up and booked 01925 377535

Sweet deal. But cannot get to the payment page as this post has been seen by every Tom dick and harry and its overloaded to high heaven. Keep trying

I got the email this morning, but you need to go onto the link provided in post #24. The email just takes you to the homepage and no mention of their sale. Site is very slow for myself this morning.

Got the link in my email but can't get past the V page at booking stage, thought it was just my phone but seems it's all you lot on the site too :P

After an hour finally managed to pay and confirm!

website is junk

Just called 01925377535 and booked at the sale rate

I gave up online and booked using the number posted above. Got straight through to someone and paid straight away

Eventually got through online and booked the hotel I wanted

awful website

I managed to book earlier and got my confirmation through straight away been trying to book again since and keep getting site crashing

​Doesn't seem to give you the option to put infants on this time as when i add children onto search price goes up to £115. It does say in their ts and cs that infants stay free and travel cots provided where room allows. Iv just booked for 2 adults and Gunna call and make them aware I have infants. The last time I booked and was able to add infants on myself, the booking confirmation still only said 2 adults so when I called to query they said it's because infants aren't actually classed as people for booking purposes!

Thanks OP!!

https://www.village-hotels.co.uk/offers/accomodation/january-sale

Very flakey, used my mobile in the end and now have an email confirmation, and it finally went to the confirmation screen but it took around 5 minutes to do so.

hi does anybody managed to book including the children for 25£ a night in any given dates? and if you managed to book for 2 adults only and still bring the kids will they asked you to pay for it?

Anyone received the booing reference yet?

Can someone edit the link to this: https://www.village-hotels.co.uk/offers/accomodation/january-sale/?.
Also it needs to mention in the description it's £25 per night per room, found when you add children to the booking the rate goes up to £115. Just decided the children can fend for themselves at home instead.

How did u book for 2 nights please as if says only 1 night stays been trying to get on site and find out but can't get on thanks

No Club upgrades for £35 as stated earlier?

​£45 not £35

​45 not 35

I satyed at Blackpool this year and there was a sofa bed in the room. Big hotel 400+ bedrooms, several entrances, minimum staff. Smaller hotels may be more difficult but.... you get the jist.

I've edited link and added more info to title

Can anyone advise if the standard rooms let you use the pool? It says £5 extra for the gym, not clear if this is just the gym or gym and pool... any help appreciated! Would rather not pay the club room price if it's not needed

It's suddenly stopped letting me look at any of the dates. :disappointed:

Yes, for 2 different bookings.

Got error message ..no state found ??? do not submit payment again :confused:

Thanks boyaloud

​Yes they do, I think its included with all online bookings

Keeps crashing now :disappointed:

not working for me ? gutted

Did it. Got two and now the website has completely crashed

has this now expired?? keep getting error messages :disappointed:

site wont load deal

what a useless bunch

Grrr got all the way to the payment page but kept getting error messages. Now the stupid website won't let me back in at all. I expect I'll have to start all over again if and when the website does start working again :disappointed:

Pools and gyms are free if booking direct via village hotels.

Most hotels now have self check in desks with ipads so no need to hide children in small suitcase!

Anyone been to Nottingham one?

Check your email for confirmation first - saved me paying twice. Where are you heading from SND?

Finally got my payment through :smile:


Are you sure? It said something like "free gym access (usually £5)" on the description for the Club rooms. I booked the cheap room anyway.

This is the worst, glitchy, slow, incorrect website I've ever used. Even the T&Cs are incorrect, they state the offer is for Thu, Fri, Sun, Mon but I saw £25 rooms on a Tue and Wed, it's hard to believe the booking period is until the 06.12.17. I previously received an email from Village Hotels telling me ths sale started at 9am but didn't receive the link to the sale from them until 11:08am! I got booked online eventually, three consecutive nights in Glasgow. The final payment screen appeared again but I checked my email and the booking was confirmed! I had problems with the boxes asking for 'Your Address' and 'Address 1' - just what is the difference?

If they can't maintain a useable website why do they keep changing the offer. Last Nov it was simply a straight £20 a room offer with rooms until May, and it took me several attempts to book online. This Nov it was a confusing book 2 nights inc breakfast based on 50% reduction per night, but the website showed individual nights already discounted – every hight was priced differently and they were increasing quickly. This can't have shifted enough rooms so they have changed it to a £25 room plus £5 breakfast for 2, lasting all year surprisingly.

Think the site is back up and running again now. Was just able to book okay

Has anyone found anything at all for Chester? Even for a random Wednesday in Feb it's coming up at £70+

2 nights at Leeds South in Club Level room plus breakfast for £80 total. I'm happy enough with that. Took a while to book via site though. Email confirmation received a minute after booking.

Yep x 2

cheers that helped me a lot

Are the club rooms worth it over the standard ones?

We stay at various Village hotels regularly and have always been able to use the facilities as long as we booked online or over the phone direct to the hotel, as opposed to a third party company.

Nice, I'll give it a try then :smiley:

I don't think so, unless you are spending all your time in the room!

Nope, nothing at all, and the public transport links are terrible. It'll be fine if you don't mind driving.

Are any Village hotels in city centre or are they all out of town?

They are pricey new built out of town hotels focusing on Business and Leisure. But they obviously have a lot of vacant rooms certain days and periods hence their sale.

just booked 2 nights at chester st davids and 2 nights at wirral hotels thanks for the heads up on this i did last years deal as well which was £20 a room

Yes I went with a friend last spring. We didn't use the gym/pool etc but were very pleased with the hotel, staff, room, breakfast all excellent.

If you haven't received your booking confirmation, contact them via Facebook messenger and they get it sent over.

What has the best access to city centre, don't want to be driving or taxi in, really so bus, walk etc, all look a fair bit out of town?

Hmmm if it says Tuesday and Wednesday are available for £25 can you book them?

Hi, great deal. Does anyone know how I can use Quidco app on android to get cash back on this as it's 6.6%? I need to follow the email link to get the offer, so I can't click on Village Hotel inside the Quidco app as the offer prices don't come up unless you use the email link. Thanks in advance!

I second that. But your not going there to stay in bed all the time are you? Or lucky you, maybe you are :wink:

Just booked the weekend before valentines, club room and breakfast for £40. Feels like a good deal to me, had a great night last time at full price so cheers OP!

Officially it's not available "Stay on Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays and Mondays from 01/01/17 - 30/12/17. Excluding Valentines weekend 11th/12th February and the 15th/16th April 2017." according to T&C's. I'm just wondering whether to book some nights not covered in T&C's myself (Tuesday and Wednesday)

It's a shame they're all miles out of town otherwise would be booking one for an upcoming trip, can't argue with the price but pretty useless if you aren't driving there.

Was about to book a family room for £25 and lady on phone told me that if you bring 2 kids its £15 extra per child so totalling £55...its quite misleading as had to scroll through terms n conditions to find their child policy

Children are classed as 2-12 years old. Children are charged from between £15 - £30 per night, per hotel, dependant on product booked (e.g. B&B or Dinner,B&B).

I phoned the booking line direct they were really helpful sorted out my booking no problem site been off and on all day received a confirmation e mail straight away

Family room price is misleading you WILL have to pay minimum £15 per child per night! Be warned..

Just rang up children between 2-12 will be charged between £15-30 each per night...be warned...

​Who is going to know?

Check in is usually self service as is check out.

We have stayed at 6 village hotels this year and have never had any issues.

I booked Friday the 10th, which is included in offer so can't say for sure.

Booked for Fri 10th Feb for Valentines & Sun 28th May bank hol.We go Manchester Ashton as loads of places to eat nearby,also cinema & bowling.

I mentioned kids and they tried to upgrade me to a family room (well two as have 3 kids) and cost went up from £120 for 2 nights to just under £400.
They wont let kids stay in a double or twin... Gave up in the end. Will wait for the premier inn sale.

Took me ages to get to the details screen, now it just keeps returning me to my name and address. Can't pay for the rooms

​i don't drive and I've been to Edinburgh , Glasgow, Blackpool, london Watford and Farnborough all are accessible without car. best two are Edinburgh and Glasgow which are both only a mile - 1.5 miles out of city centres on very frequent bus routes in Edinburgh's case 24hour buses every day. london Watford is served by 24hour trains (but then would be 2mile walk or taxi ride after 1am, buses to hotel until 1am)

​see my post just now

​watford is 20min train or 30min tube from central london then a 7min bus ride then a 5 min walk

​Edinburgh and Glasgow both brilliant for buses and both hotels only just over a year old . excellent staff too.

Just booked Bournemouth for 2 nights 60 quid including breakfast perfik !! Took a few attempts to make payment site running very slow

Don't forget you can buy a £50 food and drink voucher for £25 , so two nights for 2 with breakfast in Bournemouth + £50 to spend in restaurant or bar = £85 excellent deal .

This happened to me, something odd with the address form (the whole website actually) :smiley: There is start your address and below is 1st line of your address - why both? I eventually filled it in omitting the start your address box and it progressed slowly until it tried to take payment twiceoO

Think the food voucher needs to be used by February

hi,how do you upgrade for £10 when booking online please ?

Anyone still struggling to get on the website??

Oh yes we are going to visit family end of January ,

Booked two nights in total;
Random night in Blackpool in June
Another one in Manchester in December next year to visit the Christmas Markets :smiley:

Many thanks OP, saved me a fortune :smile:

I had a booking Monday to Friday and each day said £25 but payment was a nightmare, phoned up and the woman said tiesdays and wednesdays arent even in the offer but she spoke to her boss who allowed it after seeing on her screen those 2 days were displaying £25.
Painful but worth it in the end :wink:

​to book two nights did you make two bookings?

​did you book the 2 nights separately?

No, booked a Sunday and Monday together.

​Yep

Is the website down for anyone else? x

Blackpool drop me out !

Glasgow booked, many thanks.

This website is driving me absolutely insane!

what a **** **** website doing my **** head in

deals is a load of rubbish all they do is add the price on to saturday night!!! they was doing 2 nights for 100 on wowcher or groupon cannot remeber which

We can't even find rooms for £25!!

It took a lot of patience but managed to book a room with breakfast in Blackpool! The website is so slow.... luckily I am reading through HotUK deals on my phone during my 15 minute booking :stuck_out_tongue:

Booked a wee night away, also bought the £25 voucher for £50 to spend on food/drinks. Bargain :-)

When going through booking process page will display add ons like breakfast / dinner / upgrade to club room (Will only be at places where availability) I have upgraded before its no big deal you get coffee making machine bigger television with all sky channels and spa and gym if i remember correctly.

Booked thanks, can anyone confirm if you can use the pool on the £25 room or do you have to upgrade to the £35 club room? Thanks

Anyone got a link to the £50 voucher for £25 ?
Can't seem to find it now.... not sure if it's been withdrawn!

If your staying two nights can you buy 2 food vouchers to use each night

I didn't think the site was bad at all, no glitches, could instantly see if my date was available and the cost with no unexpected additions. I was struggling to find anything decent under £100 near the Hydro in Glasgow for a concert but this offer got me exactly what I needed for £30 including breakfast for two. Great deal.

You can use all facilities with either room

Thanks

Yes, finally managed to book at Watford in Feb half term. Booked a family room with breakfast for two, will download app for self service check in too.
Now need to book the warner studio tour! Anyone has top tips??!

So who's taking a trip to Swansea?

We've been before and going again this summer.

Decent place, close enough to walk into town. Full of footballers and international cricketers when we were there last but they were pleasant enough.

Did you receive your voucher yet bought 2 yesterday not come through

Colder than the weather outside no deals! Cheapest I found for two adults and two kids was £275 in Blackpool for two nights....won't allow you to book for one night.

Thank you!! I've just booked a total 5 nights ! Amazing price! 2 at half term, 3 at Easter. £30 a night with breakfast. Am well pleased!

The kids add £15 each per night to the price if you choose to add them, but apart from that, have you used the link in the first post above that gives sale prices or just a normal search? There was availability for almost every weekend when I looked, just not Sat nights.

£35 club upgrade can't seem to get?

Was offered club upgrade during booking process so add rooms to basket and then see if you get offered it (might all be gone for your dates)

Great deal-Ive booked, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Bournemouth. Heat added.

​Some people say they had upgrade to club for £35 but coming up £45 with me

Already booked and paid, £80, for 2 nights, club room and breakfast!!

I have to agree, Stayed in Glasgow several times. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Bought two £50 vouchers yesterday for £25 each, also reserved two rooms on separate days. 25 quid for a bed for the night in a really lovely hotel and 50 quid's worth of food and drink for 25 quid. I should have posted it myself as this is a great deal.

actually a few quid cheaper to book two rooms if you got 2 kids.....

Booked a family room at Bournemouth which says it sleeps up to 2 children under 12. Didn't add them as extra guests as one still in a cot. Nowhere to add any extra info to the booking so hope that's OK.....

I would ring and check

It probably says on the confirmation that although it's a family room for 2 ad + 2ch that the booking is for 2 persons. When you add additional people it charges an extra £15 each.
Personally I wouldn't say a word, do self-check-in and just wing it!

Which Village hotels have jacuzzi facilities?

Thanks!

A bit misleading to say the least when it lets you select a family room sleeping up to 4 people. I think we will have to call the hotel and add them on as don't want to risk it. I object to paying £15 each for such young kids though!!

I honestly wouldn't bother - reading their FB page lots of people complain about this and they always make them pay as its in the T&Cs you 'agreed' to when making the booking. I'd be far more inclined to just wing it and hope for the best, and if the worst comes to the worst, they'll charge you the extra on arrival, and you can say that you thought it was clear from the booking as you booked a family room, website problems and crashes etc must have caused it, but more likely than not they won't even notice, especially if you use the app to check in. That's my plan anyway!

thats not winging it, thats plainly lying in the hope of scamming a freebie.

Page crashed whilst booking. Received no confirmation email do assumed it hasn't gone through
They charged me anyway so when I emailed to enquire they cancelled the booking (even though it stated in the cancellation email if couldn't be cancelled) so trying to get my money back!

Great sharing. thanks.

Won't be tempted again. Last time, it was passive smoking all 2 nights in Leeds.. No, not for me. Don't care how cheap!

Phone the hotel you want and they will help you. That's how I got mine last year. Cheap, but too noisy and smoky in the first place. The 2nd one was a bit better, but too remote.

Genuine question, what is FOMO?, thanx. :-)

Fear Of Missing Out :smiley: I have it all the time on here :smiley:

Love this chain especially the Club Rooms for a bit of extra luxury. I have booked a Club Room in our local hotel with breakfast for 2 for one night for every month of the year. I know that may sound a little sad, but for £20 each in a very cosy room with breakfast and the indulgence of the pools / etc I think its great value.

Thankyou Op.

Hehehehe, yes, I see it now, lol, thanx. :-)

Very interesting deal, when does the offer expire ?

Great deal. was able to bag a twin room for me and a mate, plus breakfast, for £30. Heat from me!
(Village Hotel Swansea - 6th Jan)

Yes, I like to do this with my girlfriend and she loves it.




The wife isn't too happy though!

backinstock, you never let me down on these deals :smile:- a thread just isn't right without a reminder of your complicated domestic arrangements , though am wondering if Mrs backinstock ever reads your posts? lol :smile:
and Ouch- Op! this is so hot my fingers are burning!!!

She's too busy washing, ironing, cooking and cleaning etc.
Though, she should have time as she doesn't work! :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, seeing as you're keeping her in her easy life, I'd say it was the least she could do. Hoping she irons your shirts nicely for your outings with your gf :wink:

Thank you booked watford for end of January:)

Can anyone recommend Edinburgh branch? Was going to fly from luton so won't have a car? Wanted to do main attractions e.g castle, shops is there easy access?

Thanks

Thanks OP, just booked a room at Blackpool for myself and my wife on valentines night. will be our first night away alone since our kids were born.

Can someone help me please, how do you book a family room?

Excellent buses to city centre which run all along main city streets. Only takes ten mins and then a ten min walk up to the castle as it's up a hill. They are 24hrs all week and fixed fares. Goes right alone princes st the main shopping st

The Edinburgh Village Hotel is a couple of miles from the city centre, but there's a good and cheap bus service.

There is a lovely signposted walk from the Hotel to the Centre following the walking/cycle path. We walked back up the streets, a very pleasant walk.

It's a truck, every Saturday it's 25 and Sunday 50

Anyone else not had confirmations come through via email ? Booked and had reservation numbers come up on screen but never printed as expected email but no email received.

Don't mention the trams :smiley:

Booked two rooms now one for my birthday in February and one for the wifes birthday later on in May.
Just come back from the Leeds South on the black Friday deal and had two rooms for 1 adult and 1 child in each room at £96 for two nights with breakfast, not sure you can beat it for that price.
Used to be Travelodge and Premier Inn were the cheapest chain but when you take into account the meals and vouchers available these are much better value at present, as they also include leisure facilities.
Homepage still doesn't appear to show this deal, but if you use the code "TACA" when searching for rooms that will bring up this deal.

Booked five rooms over the year as per others - great deal.

Beware that a couple of the hotels haven't been refurbished to the newest standard - Liverpool and I think Bury maybe that we have visited. Chester, Blackpool and Ashton (Manchester) are all latest spec and nice stays.

Just arrived in blackpool, the breakfast is £5 each & not £5 for two :-( ... we've Just been charged extra & the room is awful ... glad we've only paid £25 & not the regular £140!

Show them the advert or complain and you will get the money back

A word of warning. We have been to the Bournemouth one. Foyer and public areas are quite nice but the bedrooms, where do i start. We had booked a family room and advised we would get a double and 2 singles.

When we arrived it was a different story. They gave us family room with a double bed and a sofa bed for 2 midgets. Not only that there was enough room to put a 3rd bed in the room because the room was so small, so they squeezed a single mattress in. This meant climbing over each other to use the loo. Joke, i mean this wasnt a cheap hotel as it was at the height of the summer. The first room we were provided had a couple romantically engaged in it.
The floor under the beds was disgusting too. Oh, and there was a fracas/fight with a hen night and a family in the restaurant.
They also have a nightclub in the hotel that goes on late, so good luck with your sleep
Rooms are like saunas
I dont ask for much in a hotel - clean, decent quality beds and decent friendly service

No, i wont be going back. Not even for £25 in the middle of summer; i would rather sleep in my car

Did you add the breakfast option at booking stage? T&C's state this

'Breakfast is available for £5 for 2 people if booked at reservation stage.'

Was it an event night? Or a club every night?

Brilliant Heat added thanks

Strange I stayed in November for same deal and it was £5 for 2. Lovely hotel

Did you pre-book breakfasts?

Does anyone know the price of the set menu please? Can't see it on website.

Booked this offer 2 days ago, still not received confirmation email, anyone else still waiting.

booked but couldn't get a club room, just standard for my dates

I booked Cardiff and Bournemouth no confirmation emails on either occasion you are best to ring direct the hotel you have booked they will send them out, don't go through the main CallCenter I did that on the first occasion and still didn't receive confirmation I don't know what's wrong with the booking system but I think it needs a complete overhaul it shouldn't be that hard to book a couple of hotel rooms.

If I want to take children with me and there is only standard double room available surely there would be no beds spare in the room anyway? Also how do you take the kids down to breakfast (if you have not checked them in)...just curious as to how it would work ...Cardiff is charging 10 pound for breakfast for two ?

Yes I pre booked, it should be £5 per person for breakfast ... obviously after clarifying With staff the charge was removed but they weren't going to honour it at first ...

sorry I was asking about the set dinner menu price
​

Yes, definitely states £5 for two.

Booked 5 stays and received confirmation emails for all seconds after payment...probably best checking!

Booked a club room for 2 on the outskirts of Manchester for after a concert for £40 which includes breakfast, bargain!

Do you get a fridge in your room? (is always nice to take a couple of bottles of your own wine)

No fridges in the standard rooms I've used. Can't say for the club upgrade as I've never booked one.

Thanks. Just noticed there is no bathroom in the standard either, but the £35 club upgrade room has an ensuite.

All rooms will be en-suite including Standard Rooms.

Are you sure?
I thought the standard rooms only had these..........................



:stuck_out_tongue:

My husband isually gets an ice bucket.
And for his own bottles, he fills the sink with cold water :wink:

I get an ice bucket despite not buying anything at bar. Just ring reception or bar itself and they bring up to the room

I really wouldn't recommend the club room. You're paying £10 for a tassimo machine and a quasi-sky experience with loads of channels missing. Movie channels but if you have free now TV you can watch on iPad or laptop if you take that. (By the way you can't attach a NOW box to village TVs as the ports are against the wall. Some hotels you can!).

You get the same bed, same large 42" TV with HD channels, same en-suite, leisure access (I use night when. Arriving and use it for shower at lunchtime when leaving). Also if there is anything wrong with room or noisy people next door etc, ring reception and they move you to a club room free no problem.

The TV is definitely smaller in the standard rooms.

In the Club rooms you get a big one as part of the package.

I wouldn't upgrade for a bigger TV, it won't be that much bigger

​ts still huge by hotel standards in the normal rooms. most hotels still have 19-22 inch TVs

If you try and book, there is no mention of a bathroom in the standard room. The main advertised perks of the upgrade room are ensuite bathroom, bottled water, gym access, bigger TV. Can only go by the info on the actual site when booking? Appears there is no bathroom with standard room... they would be mentioning it if there was surely?

There is absolutely 100% definitely a bathroom/shower room of some sort in every room, just an upgraded one in club rooms. I promise!!

Okay cheers for the info that is a help... probably favouring a cheapo standard room for what I am looking at. They are likely withholding the standard room bathroom info to entice people to upgrade. Not planning on watching telly when away with the wife and the bottled water is no great loss, especially if there is a sink in the room!

Possibly the best perk is the breakfast for £2.50 per person seeing is all you can eat. Would normally cost £10.

​the standard rooms are about a hundred times more luxurious than premier inn and Travelodge certainly! the bathroom's the same. all chain hotels have been fully en-suite for a good 20 years now. the only annoying thing with this chain is 11am checkout when again much more basic Travelodge has been 12 for 25+ years . however if you ask at reception they usually extend it until 12 for free. I use pool are for shower anyway as it has luxurious changing rooms with about 15 showers in nice cubicles with shower gel and shampoo etc. loads of hairdryers. machine to spin dry your trunks. carrier bags to put wet trunks in (stock up - free bags). I take luxury loo rolls from room.

does anyone know the nearest one to Portsmouth? Have to go there at the end of the month but don't know the area.

​bournemouth I think

Can anyone confirm whether the half price dining voucher can be used along with the room sale? I notice that it states in the dining voucher faq that it cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer and wonder whether that would include the room sale? Thanks

Booked 3 nights, hot, thanks.

Any idea of any significant size difference in terms of floor space, between a standard and club room?

I can't say I noticed any difference.

Someone said earlier they got a bigger bed when they booked a club room. What about the "gym" access you get with the club room. Does the gym include the pool? Does it mean you can go for a swim without having to pay more?

You can use the pool and gym for free if you book direct through village hotels, regardless of the room you book.

I haven't paid for any upgrades this time as I am not convinced they are worth the difference, although my wife disagrees with me ( nothing new there then!)

When I went twice last year the gym and pool and everything was included with the standard room rate

gym and pool is same thing everywhere that has both.

Thank you very much for this find OP - my girlfriend got us harry potter tour for christmas and this means we can stay the night before for £30 with breakfast and then head over in the morning! Awesome!

Thanks a lot!

Booked into Glasgow, and thoroughly enjoyed my stay, going to book a few nights through the year as a treat and getaway, worth every penny, breakfast is lovely and hotel is spotless.Can't wait to go again.

Liverpool hotel is appaling as well. Barely worth £25. Seems all the nice ones are not available for £25.

Anyone know when this sale ends ?

Great offer.

23:59 on 6 Jan.

Only a few dates left in glasgow

says Breakfast is £5 for 2 people, but what if you want to add kids on, it won't give u the option of adding more on

The offer is based on 2 people

But you can book the standard room for 2 adults 2 kids for £25, however you can only add breakfast for only 2

Which hotel did you manage that at please - it only allows us to have 2 people in a room on the booking - even though we chose family rooms.

I would ring up and book direct through central booking as they have changed a couple of things for us and added breakfasts to be paid on arrival at £2.50 each.

Not sure if they have changed the date, it now ends tomorrow the 8th of Jan 2017.

Correct

Very good offer, booked a 1 night stay in their Swansea hotel for thursday just gone on this offer (thanks OP!) - £25 for room & £5 for breakfast.

Had an email a few days before asking if I would like to upgrade to a club room, and if so, make them an offer. Offered £7 (I was happy with a basic room but as it was a random night away thought why not), which got accepted - so £37 all in :smiley:

Hotel was very nice, in a great location! TV was huge (47/48"), room very spacious and one of the comfiest hotel beds we've slept in.
Leisure facilities also very good & breakfast covered all options.

Have booked up a few more nights, thanks again OP :smiley:

The hotel is literally straight onto a very quiet ( new) dual carriageway, which is 10 mins in a straight line to the excellent park and ride. Buses every 7 mins. £2 return ticket. Under 16s totally free. Takes 5-10 min into Chester. The hotel seemed to be at the far end of a mini retail / business park, but we spent all our time in Chester when we were there. I did notice though that the car park next to the race course , on a non Racing day, was almost empty, so could've parked there. Would've cost more than £2 though, and tbh, it was no bother using the park and ride.

Anyone know of any deals like this one that exist in Europe or the USA??

Why has this been unexpired, the link no longer works?

Came back after one night in the Club room with family.
Some stranger (drunk) walked into our room at night, while we were asleep! Not sure how he managed to get into the wrong room with electronic/bluetooth locks.
Reported to the hotel, still waiting to hear how he managed to get in.

Never going back.

Does anyone know if booking can be cancelled without charge, please? I can't seem to find any information on this from the confirmation they sent. I booked a couple of nights for the family at Watford in July but it looks like we may be elsewhere at the time. Any assistance or relevant information would be gratefully received.

Doubt it, I think you can let someone else go tho as when you check in to u just need the surname. Maybe you can resale

I am not a driver and the best way to get into Chester and back I found was to skirt around Ewloe, past the Co"op and head foe the junction at Woodlane. There's a bus stop about a 10 minute walk in that direction, You need to walk alongside the park. I think a weekly ticket is about 12 quid. To be honest, if on a late night out and don't want to pay for a taxi, maybe a train to Shotton then a walk to St David's Park may be viable.

As for the hotel, it was okay but a bit dated. The problem with it is that the rooms were quite noisy, especially on the ground floor.

There are even ajoining doors between rooms that have been locked and I assume somewhat soundproofed although if so, they weren't particularly well soundproofed.

I've stayed at a newer one in Watford and although it was a bit out of town it was a lot better.

Cheers

Does anyone know if this deal always happens wnd of year?
Also does the hotel run similar deals throughout the year?

Sometimes. You just have to look out for it. The old deal was better as it was £20 although you could only book Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

Occasionally they do £65/night for two with a three course meal I think.

They do a Sunday night deal if you pay for 2 dinners at £20 each you get your room for a tenner done this many times last year at Bournemouth
