Sun's £10 holidays - Park Dean Holidays - do not take your pet!

I booked one of these via priority code and this is first time we chose Parkdean as a holiday provider.
I booked online and paid the £38, and had not heard from them for weeks! Contacted Suna nd so on, and finally, today arrives the booking confirmation with outstanding balance of £37 (charge as expected), but with due date of 22.08.08!!! Yesterday!
I call them up to pay the difference straight away and top add the dog on. There was no option to do that while booking through Sun and I made sure I chose a park that allows dogs. The back of booking confirmation says:
Pets are welcome at 21 of our holiday parks. When making your booking, you will need to request a pet friendly accommodation type, a small charge will apply for your pet. Again, as expected.
However, this small charge is actually
£30 for the dog
£20 for location booking, as we need a pet friendly accommodation!!! :mad:
So, for 3 nights stay for 4 people, including linen and passes it is £75. But for one dog for the same time, it costs £50!!!!! :eek:
I am still fuming! Small charge!!!!
