Has anyone any recommendations for a travel cot? Will be used for holidays and occasional stays with granny. I've looked at so many and I've no idea what to go for

I'm not sure there is really much difference between them - they are all super frustrating to put up! You can get them very cheaply secondhand, so I would have a look on marketplace.

Hauk dream and play. You can get an additional mattress which makes it more comfy

Would second pp - Hauck Dream and Play works well for us, baby plays in it during the day and we bought another mattress for when it is used

I have the Joie Allura from Argos. The bassinet is extra handy when they are small so you dont have to bend so far! Really straightforward to put up and take down and stores in a bag under our stairs neatly 😊

Another vote for the Hauck Dream N Play. I got mine second hand (barely) used from a friend and it's served us well. Quite bulky and heavy so we only use it if travelling by car (wouldn't take it on a train or plane). But easy to put it up and take it down. And crucially it's 120 cm x 60 cm so it has good longevity. Before we had a travel cot which was about 100cm long and DC outgrew it when we still needed a travel cot (hence getting the bigger one second hand).
