What do you do?

We hold allocations of rooms at all hotels and apartments and we can book up to and including the day of departure. You can only book online up to the day before the stay date. For same day bookings please call us on 0871 221 2717 (calls cost 10p per minute plus network extras).
Where are you based?
We are based in the Tourist City of York, we have a team of over 200 employees, and our offices are manned between 8.00am and 11.00pm, seven days a week. We open every day except Christmas Day.

Yes, we have a range of brochures that are distributed to travel agents across U.K. We can send brochures direct to you - just complete the online form in the Brochure section. Our website shows our entire portfolio of hotels and apartments, many of which are additonal to those featured in our brochures.

Do I pay a booking fee?
No - We also guarantee not to change the price after your booking has been confirmed.
What if I am arriving late at the hotel?
Your booking is guaranteed for late arrival but we recommend calling the accommodation if you are going to be very late. At some smaller properties you may have the owner waiting up for you! The contact telephone number is displayed on your booking confirmation.
Why do I pay more for a single room?
Rates for single occupancy tend to reflect rates that accommodation providers consider competitive. They often do not relate to the price that 2 people would pay to share a room. Please note, particularly in the UK, that most hotels will allocate a single room with a single bed although some do allocate larger rooms for the same rate.
What can I expect for dinner when it is included in the price?
Dinner is normally 3 course based on a Table D'hote menu i.e. a selection of meals of the day or an allowance towards the a la carte menu. A La Carte meals are normally available but a supplement may apply. All restaurants will offer vegetarian options but the choice may be restricted. Any special dietary requirements should be advised at time of booking.
How do I get to the accommodation?
The accommodation name, address and telephone number are provided on screen after your confirmation of the booking. This information will also be displayed on the email and postal confirmation that will be sent to you. Most accommodations have a printable map to assist in planning your route. Please note that some packaged events include accommodation at hotels with whom we do not deal directly. In this instance, only limited information will be made available.
Can Superbreak arrange wedding receptions?
Unfortunately not. These must be organised direct with the hotel.
What if I need to change my reservation?
An administration or cancellation charge will apply. Please refer to our terms and conditions for further details or call our helpdesk on 0871 221 2717 (calls cost 10p per minute plus network extras).
Are all prices in Great British Pounds (£)?
Yes. We make all charges in Great British Pounds(£), irrespective of the location of the accommodation. We do offer a link to a Worldwide Currency Converter on the Travel Links page, but please be aware that these rates do fluctuate. Please note that this facility is offered as a guide only.
Can I buy event or theatre tickets on their own?
Unfortunately not. Superbreak can only supply event or theatre tickets in conjunction with an accommodation stay booked by us.
I haven't received email confirmation
Please allow up to 24 hours for email confirmation.
