Family friendly

In our family-friendly discounts there are a range of family attractions, children’s camps, ante-natal classes and if you have a baby or child up to the age of 6 years old who is struggling with sleep, Baby2Sleep® can help you by coaching you to teach your child to sleep well, in a gentle and reassuring manner, that is specific to your child and family circumstances.  They have a number of discounted packages available.

IHG Hotel Discounts

One of our most popular travel discounts - The IHG Staff Benefits programme - is being closed completely from the 31st of May 2019. IHG will no longer be able to offer you the discounted rate on their UK and European hotels offered via our UniDiscounts page.  All bookings made up to 31st May for later travel will be honoured.  Make use of the savings before this ends!

Wellbeing
