Won a Holiday - cant go Gutted!

I have had an email to say that I have won a holiday to Bluestone, in Wales staying in a lodge for a week.

Unfortunately there is no choice of week and my cover at work is on holiday when it is, so have had to email them and say that I cant attend and to redraw the prize.

Gutted is an understatement.:mad:

    Oh no!

    Did it state in the terms and conditions that the holiday can only be taken on a specific date? I hate that and tend to avoid them.

    Hope you have a nice holiday win you can go on soon!
  • Ah what a shame hopefully you will soon win a lovely prize to make up for your disappointment. x
  • I didn't notice in the terms that it was a specific date as I only enter things that I need or can go on.

    No the confirmation states that it is a specific date on 10th March, really annoyed.

  • I cant seem to find where I entered.

    I don't think it was the one with fifty to win as I haven't ticked it and I always try and do that.

    Anyway if it was that one I would have been able to go at the time of entering as work colleague has only just booked that week off. :mad:

    Always that way aint it.

    I think the Bluestone ones are generally like that - they offer stays as prizes when they've got space and usually at short notice.

    I had the same thing with Bluestone last year - I'd entered not realising that the stay was for a fixed date, which I couldn't make. I just hadn't spotted it in the Ts and Cs

    Never mind, hopefully there's another better win for you around the corner :)
    Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2010
