39TDS Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Imagine how many folks she has had to ring up and cancel and how much money she has lost. I doubt caravanning in this country is doing a roaring trade this season. Sorry your hols got messed up but I think I feel equally sorry for the folk that own all these flooded sites.

karpman Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Bad luck pal, every cloud has a silver lining and what not. Gotta love cornwall. On the sorry side I woulda she should of started off with that. Something on the lines of "I'm very sorry but" wouldn't of hurt and maybe made ya think of returning one day. Oh well there loss.

ayano3 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 My friends have travelled from the North East to Poole in Dorset for a 2 weeks in their caravan on a site and I have seen the photos on Facebook and the site is partially flooded already and more rain forecast. They are now thinking of quitting and going home. I think you are lucky to have had a call to warn you about this before travelling as some would have just taken your money. They must be the sorry ones as its their living going down the pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
