    The only good thing about the daily mail offer is that if like me you didn't get a priority code you could book what you want when you want it. so i managed to get w half term break in the isle of wight

    I think your right that at least we were able to book exactly what we wanted and earlier than The Sun deal would have been.


    It does grate on me though that we can be charged a different price for the same thing and more annoyingly that they have changed the terms and conditions after we have booked.

    A bit of false advertising going on here as well. What were originally stated to be Deluxe Caravans for £15 having microwaves and heating in bedrooms, now appear to be the equivalent of Haven's Superior Plus with no microwaves or heating.

    Still getting a week away for around £100 though I suppose. :rolleyes:

    Did you book a weekend and a midweek? I've done the same thing but as it was two bookings I was wondering if we are going to have to change caravans at the end of the weekend?

    Sorry, a bit misleading. Only 4 nights I'm afraid.

    When we booked our Daily Mail 1 on the website it said chalet,when confirmation came through its now a delux plus 2 bedroom. They have just rung me to ask about a special request we asked for and I asked about the accomadation we are not in a chalet but a caravan with no heating or double glazing! So are you contacting the parks directly or going through the Haven call centre IYSWIM.
    Ive just looked through my old emails and I do have a confirmation saying standard chalet,so I dunno what to do now.

    are you going to craig tara? we got confirmation of a luxury chalet but the letter from Haven says delux plus 2 bed, i need to call to cancel the linen so i'll check the accomodation too. Is delux plus = superior plus, its all very confusing.

    No Im going to Hafan Y Mor. Are you going mid-week or just a weekend. Im going mid week and when Ive checked in the paper again it says that you get 4 nights for the price of 3 but theres no mention of this anywhere.

    Looks like Im gonna have to ring Haven about this 4 nights for the price of 3 because I can see that unless you ask their not gonna remind you about it. Did you find out about the caravan? What type it is? Its very confusing as theres no delux plus on the website
