Park dean failure... what are my rights?

Hi All


I'm looking to find out where we stand on something here... Easter weekend 2017 we stayed a Park dean Sandford in our touring caravan, and they unfortunately suffered massive electrical issues leaving us without electric for 3 out of our 4 night stay. After great discussion, they eventually refunded us in full for our stay. This Easter weekend 2018, hubby convinced me to give them another try (we have stayed at Sandford and some of their other sites multiple times without issue before that). We arrived on the Friday after a 4 hour drive to a very boggy pitch, but dealt with it and powered through setting up. Unfortunately within hours of arriving the electric went!!!


They suffered issues with this for the night, and at 11pm we were moved to a different pitch where the electric was apparently OK. That was until the following morning when it went again :-(


We were advised by the (very amazing in such a difficult situation) staff on site that there was no guarantee they could fix it (and in fact they were not hopeful at all) and that any one who chose not to stay would be given a full refund. Reluctantly we packed up our disappointed children, and headed home... less then 36 hours after setting off for our family Easter break.


On the Tuesday I contacted their customer relations department to express how unhappy I was that we had experienced the exact same issue as the year before. Again, the lady I spoke to was wonderful, very understanding and empathetic. I informed her that whilst the refund was expected, I did not feel it went far enough to compensate us for the loss in money and time our failed holiday had caused, and the disappointment caused to my children. She assured me a manager would call me within 7 days (not working days, I double checked this)


So we're on day 8 and no phone call, so I ring to find out what has happened and unfortunately my lovely staff member luck has run out. The lady (louise) is rude and abrupt, dishonest and unhelpful (she actually tried to tell me she was the person I had previously spoken to!! Like I wouldn't know!) After half an hours unpleasant discussion she eventually agreed to have a manager call me back, but commented that they would not be able to do anything more then what has already been done (holiday refunded) and that she doesn't know what it is I actually expect or want...


It got me thinking about what I do actually want... we're booked in again at a different Park Dean site in August, so I suppose some money off of that would be nice, but am I actually entitled to any form of compensation? And am I right to expect it?


Sorry for the essay... any help or advise would be greatly received :-)


Thanks
