Super break and Late rooms snaps and go into administration

Malvern Group  which incorporates Manchester based Late Rooms and York-based Superbreak Mini Holidays, known as Super Break has ceased trading affecting more than 50, 000 travellers.

The group said Super Break the hotel-only holidays employing 250 staff, would be cancelled  and people currently on holiday might have to pay again but bookings through Late Rooms would be secure.

Malvern Group said those on Super Break package holidays would be protected by travel association ABTA but that gift vouchers and tickets for entertainment and attractions were no longer valid.

ABTA has issued advice for customers of Super Break which was established in 1983 and specialised in short city breaks in the UK  and overseas, but said it did not cover Late Rooms.

In a statement ABTA said “If you booked directly with Late Rooms, customers  are advised to contact the hotel as we understand that payments were made directly to the hotels and therefore bookings should go ahead as planned. but Super Break majority of holidaymakers would be covered through ABTA, ATOL or their credit card companies. These customers will either be entitled to a refund or if they’ve booked through another travel company  they should contact them to discuss options which may include continuing with their booking , re-booking or alternative arrangements.”
