Any disadvantages to booking through a foreign site?

The dates that we are looking at work out over £60 cheaper I book through a country that uses the Euro. Are there any disadvantages to booking through another country?

If you’re planning to only pay the deposit now, and the balance later - if the Pound falls against the Euro between now and when you pay in full that £60 mightn’t be £60 anymore.

Confirmation letter will be in the language of the country, no big issue thougu (not a problem if it’s Ireland, or you speak the language of the country you’re looking at!).

Thank you. I hadn’t considered the exchange rate, although £60 is around 10% of the booking and we’re going in January, so it would have to be a pretty big swing in the rate. All the counties that I looked at were the same price in Euro and so I’ll book Ireland or Germany so that there are no language problems 😀

Booked through NL site before, got free dining (pre Covid!) so was a huge difference. Everything comes in the language you book but google translate easily fixes that. Have looked a couple of times post Covid and never found a deal that made it worthwhile.
