We couldn’t make it to the Holiday Inn, Sunderland as our flight from Belfast was cancelled due to Storm Eowyn. Unfortunately the insurance that Expedia sold me has proved worthless as X Cover have refused to refund our stay, despite clear and unequivocal evidence provided that our flights were cancelled by the airline. Over £350 down the tubes!!!

New years stay

Great stay room warm and clean breakfast tasty and good choice. One slight criticism at 230 pm go to check in and told your room is ready but will have to pay ten pound early check inn fee challenged this and then told well if you join Holliday inn rewards I could check into my room which was ready for no fee obviously reception have been instructed to implement this 10 pound charge but why get somebody’s back up when checking in for the sake of ten pound poor.
