The things people ask before they book a package.
What's included in a Rail & Stay package? +−
Return rail travel for everyone in your party and your hotel, booked and paid for together.
Is it really cheaper than booking separately? +−
Usually, yes — typically 20–40% less. We combine split ticketing on the rail side with package hotel rates that aren't available when you book the room on its own.
Can I use my railcard? +−
Yes. Add it in the search and the discount is applied to the rail portion of the package price before you see any results.
What if my train is delayed or cancelled? +−
You're covered by the same rights as any rail ticket, including Delay Repay compensation from the operator. If a cancellation means you can't travel, we'll help rearrange or refund the package.
Can I cancel or change the hotel? +−
Most rooms we sell come with free cancellation up to a few days before check-in — the exact policy is shown on every hotel before you book.
When do I get my tickets? +−
Straight away. e-Tickets arrive by email and in your account the moment you book, and the hotel confirmation lands in the same place.
