My interpretation (having called and listened to the phone message) is that there is no restriction on nights, it's just limited to 1 room.
They said they would cancel other ROOMS.
They did not say they would cancel other nights.

This is of course my interpretation, but that's the way I read it.

Nah, don't be daft, you could book 2 weeks for £1 a night if it were based on 1 room booking. It clearly says there are 5 rooms per night available, and you can only book 1, so any extra nights will be at a higher rate.

Blindingly obvious in my mind, they hope you will make a weekend of it or whatever.

What happens if you want to stay for more than 1 night then?

Can you book 2 rooms if one is for my husband and son and another for my daughter and I

You can only book 1 room at the £1 rate (if you book more they will be cancelled).
You could of course go back and book a second room but then you risk having to take it at a higher rate.

Bit unfair for families but I think they are trying to spread the offer out rather than some greedy b**** taking it in one go.

You have to make 2 bookings.
Obviously that's a risk because you don't know what the price will be, but worst case you could go to another hotel or only stay one night.

I e-mailed the Hotel to check. Just had reply stating "Maximum of 1 room per person for 1 night only". so no, sadly we can't book for several nights.

Thanks very much for the clarification as that's not how I read it.

not to me or many other people it seems.

An alternative strategy is to try and book 2 nights and hope for 2 at £29, which is cheaper than 1 and £1 and 1 at £79 (which is what you might get if you are delayed).

I might try this strategy.

Yes you can. But if they are both at £1 one will get cancelled.

You cannot get money back if you cancel.
They can only make this offer by making it non-cancellable.

If you have a valid reason (like death or serious illness) then your travel insurance might cover it, but mine does not cover UK weekends away and of course there would be an excess.

I wouldnt be too bothered about losing a pound! Unless you mean they would charge me full cost if I didnt turn up

Good question I hope to book too and would like to know what to do to get ready
