There’s no mistaking it: the theme park season is upon us! Even with early booking discounts prices can still be way in excess of £100 for a family of four, and that doesn’t even include travel or food! So if you want to save a bit of cash or are just bored with the usual [...]
If there is one thing I certainly can’t resist then it’s the lure of delicious food! This week’s offer from Great Little Breaks combines this with a stay in the countryside of south Devon, close to glorious beaches and Dartmoor National Park. Two nights start from £129 per person with no weekend supplement – that’s [...]
We’ve come over all outdoorsy here at dealchecker – probably something to do with too long spent huddled up in winter coats or under blankets and the fact that spring has finally arrived! A day out in the fresh air surrounded by nature would hit the spot for us right now, and we won’t hear [...]
Ok, I’ll admit it – I’m obsessed with going to see shows, whether it’s West End musicals, dance at Sadler’s Wells, or something a little bit odd at the Barbican Centre. And I’ve made it my resolution of 2013 to get tickets to see at least one thing per month. It’s going well so far, [...]
All the dealcheckers with small kids are going WILD for this deal from Chessington Holidays! And to be quite honest, we’re pretty pleased with ourselves for finding it too. Prices start from just £99 for two adults and two children and that gets you a whole lot of fun! You’ll get an overnight stay with [...]
Now the snow has melted and the excitement of building snowmen, tobogganing and even (so we hear from you lot) a little impromptu snowboarding on any available slope is a thing of the past, we want it to hurry up and be spring already! With that in mind, we’re already on the hunt for the [...]
Hands up who doesn’t enjoy a good book on holiday? Well, we’ve got great news for all book lovers – you can take your hobby a step further by giving your next UK break a bit of a bookish theme! Dotted around the country are not only the homes where great pieces of literature were [...]
When it comes to old spa towns, we’ve got more hanging around here in the UK than might at first meet the eye. It’s usually all about Bath, which means that prices to visit this pretty town have skyrocketed. And looking at the old bank balance, it’s not getting any more likely that I’ll be [...]
January isn’t a time for splashing the cash, but I always feel the need for some fresh air to get my groaning body moving, and quite frankly, I need a little excitement. Especially when the Christmas tree comes down and there’s nothing good to look at inside or out! So we’re searched high and low, [...]
As the calendar days tick by we can’t quite believe how close to Christmas it’s getting! The Oxford Street lights went on last week which is just another sign that the big day is coming, and along with that – the busy party season. So that means it’s time to start thinking about your LDB-body [...]
It seems like the summer holidays are hardly over, and already stress is creeping in about how you’ll manage to entertain the kids during half term. Christmas is also looming on the horizon and the gifts they want aren’t getting any cheaper. You’re becoming frazzled, the thought of a whole empty week with an empty [...]

October 1, 2012 Comments OffIt seems to us here at dealchecker that autumn gets a lot of bad press. Generally, people are disappointed that summer is over (ok, I’ll admit it, that’s me), are waiting for the first snowfall of winter, or are fed up with raking leaves from their lawn. Autumn can be a great time to enjoy [...]
This weekend we’re getting pretty excited about… golf! If you’re not sure what all the fuss is about – where have you been? Team Europe will be taking on team USA to see who will take home the much coveted Ryder Cup trophy for 2012. Taking place in Medinah, Illinois, which is north west of [...]
It’s no secret that I love the UK and try to get away as often as I can to explore our green and pleasant land. It might be true that summer is all but over, but that just means my thoughts turn to crisp walks in the autumn sun with russet leaves as far as [...]
Now, I’ll fully admit I’m not the girliest of girls, but offer me a day at the spa and I’ll be over the moon! Even better – tell me I can take someone along with me so we can compare massage pain levels, gossip in the sauna and reward ourselves with a long lunch after [...]
Today we have our Grumpy Old Men hats on at dealchecker! We’ve been noticing more and more hybrid words creeping into holiday lingo, and quite frankly we think some of them are silly, some are ridiculous, and some are downright nonsense! Here’s our rundown of the worst new holiday words: Staycation Definition: A holiday at [...]

August 31, 2012 Comments OffHere in London, we love the cycle hire scheme – or Boris Bikes as they are affectionately known – and the speed and low cost with which we can traverse the city. And more and more tourists are getting involved too, using them as a great way to design their own tour of the sights, [...]
For me, the August Bank Holiday always highlights that I no longer have those gloriously long summer holidays I enjoyed so much at school. And I’m not the only one that feels that way. Here at dealchecker we’re determined to rediscover that lazy holiday felling, even if for only one long weekend this August. Too [...]
Personally, I’m a big fan of Edinburgh; there’s something about all those incredible old buildings, great shopping and super-friendly folk that really floats my boat! With this in mind, I got pretty excited when I came across this offer from Great Little Breaks! Edinburgh’s military Tattoo always tends to attract a lot of attention – [...]
This lovely new heatwave of ours has somewhat put a stop to us longing for distant shores, which is why this week’s pick of the Real Deals has got to be homegrown. It’s no secret that I love holidays in the UK, and as every girl knows, what could be better than getting a choice? [...]
