We've not been abroad for over 12 years now so have only ever booked through high street travel agents (back in the olden days!)
Couple of questions..
• Where would you go for something intersting but not too expensive (Bruges has been mentioned by friends).
• Who would you book through?
Ta!
Flight through www.skyscanner.net
Hotel through www.booking.com
Bruges is pretty but dull imo
More interesting places...
Barcelona
Madrid
Valences
Granada
Vienna
Amsterdam
Berlin
Bordeaux
Paris
Toulouse
Lisbon
Bruges, Ghent, Baie de Somme (Picardy, France), the Ardennes (Belguim)... All lovely for different reasons. Depends what you want to do when you're there.
Eurotunnel for the channel crossing, tripadvisor for the reviews, booking.com for the accommodation. Sorted.

He's right you know!

FWIW, I like the following for the following;
The 'Dam, for meandering and pootling. Oh, and the Night Watch is simply stunning.
Paris. If you know where you're going, it's a stunning place to while away the days.
Barcelona. Love it. Some great food, a lovely beach (in parts) and a very easy going place to be.
Toulouse. Truly stunning place. Very much underrated.
Waves back to CFH!
We need more information about the type of holiday you are looking for OP...
To elaborate on my earlier post:
Ardennes for walking
Baie de Somme for birdwatching, steam railway, WWI sites, Naourse underground city, Amiens and Les Hortillonnages...
Also depends on how long you plan to go for.
AirBnB is what all the cool kids are doing now I believe.
I've used airBnB a couple of times, do all the owners try very hard to be your friend? That's putting me off using it again, I just want a cheap room FFS. Not a random "friend".

Isn't that kind of the point? Friendly face to show you around etc?
If you just want a cheap anonymous room then stay in a Travelodge.
I thought it was people just earning money by renting out spare rooms/flats not some sort of social experiment.

Recommended!
Split is fantastic, Trogir is lovely, Plitvice Lakes National Park is fantastic, Krka Falls ditto, nice people, good food.
Big country though (well long, anyway): be prepared to do a lot of driving to see even all of these.
Dubrovnik is on our list as well...

Either that or Norway or North Sweden for me where there are no people ... I don't want to see people.
😀
Cheaper
Prague
Barcelona
Not so cheap
Paris
Verona
Berlin
So far this year
Copenhagen, not as pricey as they say... Flights cheap too
Berlin, quite weird and cool
Marrakech. Brilliant
Bilbao is fun
Takes a lot to beat Barcelona, Paris or Venice though.
No need for a travel agent these days.
Thanks all.
We're not looking for a banging nightlife - we'll have our 12 year old daughter with us!
