It makes me so bloody mad they have no right. last time i stay there now.
Last resort is i will take caravan and will take bookings, of females only:cool:
Had a mare booking somewhere...same problem Steve, rang 4 of them this morning none would let me have a room unless it was for 2 nights :mad::mad: was getting pretty bloody pi55ed off to be honest. Ended up paying more than I wanted just to be able to stay the one night!! C'est la vie I guess, all done now :D
You're not going to bloody believe this
Unfortunately we have decided to close fior the season on 14th December and therefore we cannot take this booking. Are you able to come the previous weekend, please advise. If not, I will ask Late Rooms to cancel the reservation - would you like us to find an alternative for you or would you prefer to browse yourself?
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :mad::mad::mad:
Bivvy bag on the steps of Moot Hall then?? :eek:

I booked the YHA the day before XOTF last year but am thinking about trying the independent backpackers Pudgio used. Any others staying there? Softie? Hann?
