Hi,
I’ve been using the daily mail holidays for years, i use to use the sun but the daily mail was better due to being able to pick your own destination and date but im really disappointed in them recently.
I went on and booked a weekend away for me and the wife to go to Berwick upon tweed but accidentally picked Haven Thornwick Bay in Yorkshire, for me to travel here would take 6hrs and that’s not including the bad traffic.
It’s really too far to go for 3 days and the diesel alone would add a good bit onto the weekend away. I’ve been to the Daily Mail and they told me no cancellations, no amendments and I would need to contact Haven when the booking came in, I’ve tried them also and they said the same and said I would need to go to the Daily Mail.
Basically, there just both not interested in helping out, it was an easy mistake, I clicked the wrong park and when my receipt came in from PayPal I realised the mistake I made.
I never wanted my money back just swap to the right park, now I’ve lost £83 which was the upfront cost and I also can’t pick a weekend away as the dates I wanted are used up on most suitable choices.
So, I suppose this is a word of warning to anyone making a mistake, they won’t help you and im down a lot of money. Unless someone has a suggestion, I’ve been told I can transfer it but there’s no one I know from my area that would want to go that distance.:(

Best thing I can suggest, is to try and sell the break on eBay. A few years back, we couldn't make an Isle of Wight break booked through the Sun and I managed to sell it on eBay. I started it slightly lower than the price I paid but it was eventually bid up to more so I made a small profit!
