    Hi Rose,

    unfortunately as I have cancelled they have now resold the room - this is why I am so annoyed about it - they are effectively making an extra £150 on the room

    Bit silly cancelling. You could have kept the booking and sold it on and if not possible just keep the room so that the hotel couldn't sell it twice.

    No one to blame but yourself.

    Exactly Right! That's the price you pay for making a non refundable booking! If you had any doubt that you may not travel you should have booked a flexible rate, or otherwise taken out travel insurance which may have covered you for any last minute problems to cause cancellation.

    Nope,

    just leave your post as it was without the self righteous comment at the end

    Simple really?

    I think penalty law would come in - penalty can only be as great as their loss

    But it's not a penalty for breach of contract - it's part of the contract.

    I dont think the comment was SR at all, it was fact.

    Why cant people just take responsibility for their actions. It seems the norm these days that its always someone elses fault.

    Just accept that you cannot get your deposit back and move on.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Is it simple or does just leaving it off just make you not look as stupid as you have been?

    Move on and get over your mistake.
