Getting a refund for mis-sold holiday
Hi All, We went on holiday earlier this summer with our 2 daughters. We paid for a 6 berth Silver Plus caravan. Unfortunately the caravan had many issues, not least the fact it wasn't 6 berth, it was only 4 berth. We expected a pull out bed in the lounge area, but there was none. Although there were only 4 of us, our…

They will be in the UK for a week and want to be autonomous (I will not be able to acompany them all the time). They do not have a credit card, only German debit cards. I figure using their German debit cards is expensive…

New to camping with Children
Hi All, I am sure this has probably been asked a hundred times but searching the forums bought up little. I have a family of 5 (children are 2,4,5) and going away is becoming more expensive each year. So we thought we would try camping. We have done glamping and the children have really enjoyed it and are all up for the…

Daily mail holiday - combining two in same caravan
Booked a 4 night and a weekend to give us the full week at the same site, at a cost of about £100. Phoned Parkdean to ask if we could stay in the same caravan, pointing out it would save them the hassle of a cleaner going in to get it ready for the next person and the answer was "certainly, if you pay another £200." :eek:…

Camping Bed - DIY Option?
Hi everyone :) Had a search but could not find anything similar so hoping someone can help. I am wanting to get a comfortable night's sleep while camping and thought of getting a custom cut piece of foam as the bed.

Charlton/Palace/QPR Hospitality??
Wondered if any forum members have experiences of match day hospitality at any of the above clubs? We are making one of our frequent trips to London in October and as usual we would be taking in a game, and as it coincides with a birthday thought we would splash out a bit and have foods/drinks and the other "extras". We…

Camping for bad sleepers?
I "enjoy camping" in most senses, and most of my holidays are to pursue outdoor activities of one kind of another... but I have serious difficulty sleeping and staying asleep at the best of times, and when in a tent it's nearly impossible. I'm not young but not too old for tents altogether, and I'm sure there must be some…

Should I pay to "hire towels" in a holiday let?
I was about to book a holiday let in North Devon when I noticed it said Towels for Hire on the facilities listed. I assumed this was probably beach towels. But when I came to the payment page online, it added a towel hire charge of £5 per person for a bath towel and a hand towel. I was a bit surprised as it is not a…
