Sorry but the food was awful, like really bad. I saw someone order Uber eats at our awards function because the food was so bad. Breakfast both days was cold and dried out. Staff were helpful but when we asked about air con not working in our room we were advised it is not turned on when it is cold outside and we should just open the windows. They brought us as pedestal fan as it was so hot in our room and we couldn't sleep without air circulation.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Waterways travel package cost?
Be ready to book, because a trip to Waterways starts from a tempting £1,394. When you bundle your flights, hotels and more into a travel package, you'll land the biggest bargains.
If I'm not able to travel, can I cancel my Waterways travel package?
It's difficult to predict what the future holds, so it's comforting to know that you can cancel or change your Waterways travel package. If you made your booking in the last 24 hours, you may be eligible for a refund. If it's an older booking, your hotel, airline or car rental company may charge a fee. Check our Customer Service Portal to learn more.
How do I get a cheap travel package to Waterways?
One of the simplest ways to save dollars (and time) is to bundle your bookings with Expedia. Flights, hotels, rental cars and activities — we've got everything you need. Select a combination that suits your style and see your savings stack up. Of course, a package deal is never one-size-fits-all. That's why we offer more than 550 partner airlines and 1,000,000 hotels across the world, which lets you customize your Waterways getaway.
Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later Waterways holidays?
Expedia has teamed up with online lender Klarna to make booking your next getaway easier on your wallet. Paying in instalments means you can spread the costs of your next big holiday, leaving you with more money to play with while you're travelling. Klarna has several payment plans to choose from, so you're sure to find something that falls within your budget. Browse these flexible payment options:

  • Pay monthly holidays: Klarna offers convenient monthly payment plans that work for all budgets, so you can jet away on that well-deserved holiday sooner.
  • Pay in instalments holidays: With this Book Now, Pay Later option, Klarna allows you to pay for your trip over multiple transactions.
  • Low deposit holidays: If paying a small percentage of your trip (rather than the full total upfront) makes it easier to hit that "book now" button, go for a low deposit holiday payment plan from Klarna.

Where should I stay in Waterways?
