    i know its no consolation to you now,but many of us have had sun holidays with no problems

    Does anyone know if it is possible to sell sun holiday I have recd to someone else, possibly ebay. We are thinking of going to different location than allocated and as further away will probably want to stay a week so won't be using sun hols.



    Should think so - there's one on ebay to the Isle of Wight at the moment. I suppose the only problem could be that you have already told them the names of people going on the booking form, but in many years of taking Sun hols I've definately never been asked for ID only to produce the holiday confirmation on arrival.
  • My cheque was cashed on Feb 12th and got my confirmation letter on Friday.
    We got 4 nights Southerness in Scotland on Sep 29th (my last date choice, 3 location choice).

    We paid £38 by cheque then we have to pay £42 in August.

    £12 entertainment passes
    £20 admin
    £10 linen charge

    £80 for 2 of us to have a 4 night break isn't bad at all..can't wait!

    Well, I managed to get through - We have Park Riviera in Devon (1st choice) with 2nd choice dates - so am quite pleased. Had to ring the park to find out what dates we had though! She said confirmation went out on the 25 Feb and I had a £12 linen charge to pay - I said that we would be taking our sleeping bags, so she is amending that and I don't have to pay any extra (gas/electric & entertainment passes are free) - £38 for a week for 3 of us - very good - just a shame we couldn't go through quidco! lol
