I have always found Southdown to be more than competitive with their pricing and nothing is too much trouble. Even with underlying medical conditions they were the cheapest by far. I have used them for years and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone needing to purchase travel insurance.
Bad experience. First of all their online system to make claim didn't work well, and struggled to uploading any documents, in the end I had to call the call centre and was told to send missing information or documents by email and they will be uploaded to the claim, which I am not sure if they as it doesn't seem they had been uploaded any extra information online to the claim. I had a small claim ~100 pounds, for emergency dental appointment and antibiotics, for a pain in a tooth that I had filling done in past. My claim was declined as I didn't declare having a filling in a tooth as a pre-existing conditions. First time I hear that a routine dental work, such as fillings counts as pre-existing medical condition.Additionally, letter of decline was full of mistakes, First of all it stated "we are not able to offer anycoverage for your holiday’s cancellation." While I didn't make claim for a holiday's cancellation, only for a dental emergency dental appointment. Additionally, it stated dates which made no sense. Next time if I will be using Southdowns (which is highly unlikely) I will make sure that I will state all the tooth I have fillings in)...Additionally I went on to the Southdowns website, clicked "cover me window", to see what pre-existing conditions you can declare. Some how having dental filling isn't on the list of pre-existing conditions that you can declare online.
When we arrived the pub was relatively quiet. Our table was awkward to sit at due to 2 tables being placed together and everyone being sat over the leg of the table (4) We moved to another one off our own accord having asked and recieved a blabk look. Despite this our meal took over 30 minutes to arrive (we asked how long it was going to take) The meal was ok my mixed grill was a very poor cut of rump very chewy the other 3 meals were ok, and dessert was very nice. Table service was ok polite and friendly. Price was ok reasonable.
