Pros and cons

Pros

  • One booking covers hotels and campsites, so a self catering stay and a campsite pitch sit with the same company.
  • The deposit is set out plainly: £50 deposit per booking.
  • You can reach the team on email, chat and phone, which covers a phone line as well as written options.
  • It has traded since 1912, so the company behind your booking is long established.
  • Its trust rating of 10 sits above its offer rating of 8.8.

Cons

  • Cancellation is not soft: the charge is 100% fee 8 to 42 days before arrival, so a late change costs the full amount booked.
  • The range of things you can book is hotels and campsites, which is narrower than packages, tours and cruise.
  • There is no mobile app, so a trip in progress runs through the web booking rather than an app.
  • A per booking deposit of £50 deposit per booking has to be found before a family holiday is confirmed.

Who it suits

  • Families who want hotels and campsites from one operator instead of booking each stay separately.
  • Travellers who prefer a phone call, since support runs on email, chat and phone.
  • Anyone happy to plan a UK break well ahead, given the deposit of £50 deposit per booking.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone who wants flights or packages in the same basket, since hotels and campsites covers stays only.
  • Travellers who need to cancel cheaply, because the charge is 100% fee 8 to 42 days before arrival.
  • People who want a mobile app, as this brand has none.

Fees and cancellation

The price of saying yes is a deposit of £50 deposit per booking, which is held against the booking rather than added to the stay price. That keeps the upfront cost to a fixed figure, which is useful for a family budgeting across a school break. Changing your mind is where the terms bite. The cancellation charge is 100% fee 8 to 42 days before arrival, so the closer you are to arrival the more of the booking you give up. A family whose plans shift a few months out needs to decide early or accept losing the full amount, and the same figures apply whichever of the hotels and campsites you booked.

What you can book

The bookable range is hotels and campsites. In practice that means a hotel stay and a campsite pitch sit with the same company, so a family can move from a serviced stay to self catering without changing operator. What you will not find is a flight, a rail ticket or an excursion in the same basket. Travellers who need a wider spread of things tend to look at an operator such as packages, tours and cruise or flights, packages and tours, both of which cover far more than stays. There is also no mobile app. Bookings and changes run through the site, which is a workable setup for a trip booked once rather than edited on the move.

Who runs it

Bookings are handled by Hoburne Limited, based in the United Kingdom, and the company has been trading since 1912. For a family handing over a deposit, the legal name and the length of the trading record are the two things worth holding on to. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a question before you book can go to a person by phone or in writing, and the same routes stay open once you are a guest. A help centre is not listed among those channels, so the direct routes matter more here than on a site that answers most questions with an article.

How Hoburne Holidays compares

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to hold a booking?+

A deposit of £50 deposit per booking secures the booking. It is charged per booking rather than per person, so a family paying for several rooms under one reservation is not multiplied on the number of guests.

What happens if I have to cancel?+

The cancellation charge is 100% fee 8 to 42 days before arrival. Because the charge climbs as arrival gets closer, a family whose dates move should decide early in the booking cycle rather than wait for a cheaper moment that the terms do not offer.

Can I book a hotel and a campsite with the same company?+

Yes. The bookable products are hotels and campsites, so a hotel stay and a campsite pitch come from the same operator. That suits a party that splits its nights between the two.

Can I add a flight to the same booking?+

No. Flights are not among the hotels and campsites on offer here. Travellers who need a flight alongside a stay would look at an operator covering flights, packages and tours or flights, hotels and tours instead.

Is there a mobile app?+

There is no mobile app for this brand. Bookings, payments and changes run through the site, which suits a trip planned once rather than one adjusted repeatedly while you are away.

How do I get help before I book?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone. That means a phone line for anyone who would rather talk it through, plus email and chat for questions that arrive out of hours.

Who runs the company I am paying?+

The operator is Hoburne Limited, registered in the United Kingdom, and it has been trading since 1912. The trading record and the legal name are worth having to hand when a deposit is on the table before you travel.
