    I booked a room at Greenwich. It was 'supposed' to be £10 although the receipt/confirmation email states £19. Even after purchasing the room there were still others on the same date available at £10. It must have changed to £19 at the final stage and i must have not noticed. Only £9 however this is the second time this has happened.

    Thats what happend to me, it said £9 but was £19 on the next page but still a great bargin, booked a few rooms at different locations, looking foward to the Mill & Old Swan, but wanted Barony Castle.

    After no luck yesterday and when going on today there were no fri and saturdays available I emailed the hotel direct and customer services for devere explaining had spent hrs yesterday and also rang central reservations yesterday who were actually quite rude.

    I added in my emails the dates and that we normally had breakfast at £7.50 per person both mornings and dinner on the second night on their special rate of £15 per person for 2 courses so usually spent £80 for 2 nights bed and breakfast with one nights dinner and we would be willing to book at this rate if they were willing to offer that as a special offer.

    Within an hr the hotel emailed me back saying their reservation manager would contact me later, then had an email from her saying she could do me a double room on both the nights I wanted at the special rate of £10 a night to ring and give payment details.

    So i have 2 nights booked now for end of june at staverton park, excellent customer service and love this hotel been several times before.
  • Seems to be only £19 rooms available now but there is a fair selection, however for anyone who might like to go to Reading there is a special £10 room deal on until 31 Dec, I stayed there at easter and it was impressive, the spa and pool were very warm. You can only book one night per person at this rate though and when I looked through the dates none were for fri/sat but there was loads available in august, if that helps anyone.

    Thank you cardiff - booked one night in my name and then following night in my husband's name for a two night break in October!! Will mean we will have to check out then check back in but we'll only have overnight bags and will go off to Windsor for the day so wont be a problem.

    Usually at a hotel with a booking like this, the hotel is more than happy to give you the same room for the two nights if you explain at the check-in. But, in this particular case where it is restricted to one night per person, I think you are dead right to check out and then check back in later in the day. Very impressed with your MSE abilty!.

    Hope that you have a great time.

    Well done :D

    How much were the nights you booked can I ask? If you dont mind saying? Was it the £10 deal too?

    I might have a search too!
