May cancel your holiday months after booking
Woodlands Estate - Homestead, Gardens, Venue, Cafe的点评
点评:I’m writing this review for the benefit of other potential holiday makers. We booked this property, for a week in July 2026, back in October 2025. We received a kind welcome email from the owner and everything seemed fine. Just this week (4 months later), the owner has cancelled on us due to a double booking. We were offered compensation and the option of booking another week, but as we were booked to stay at a separate cottage in St Ives the week before and travelling from West Yorkshire, this wasn’t an option. Also, we have children in school and jobs we’ve taken our annual leave for, we cannot just randomly change the dates this close to the holiday. This has now left us in a complete mess, as any other suitable properties have been booked. The owner didn’t even speak to us in person, there’s been no offer of any other compensation (if we cancel anything we book, we loose the deposit). Please be aware, the owner isn’t very competent and may cancel your holiday, well after the booking date.
翻译:我写这篇评论是为了帮助其他潜在的度假者。我们在2025年10月预订了这处房产,入住时间为2026年7月的一周。我们收到了房东热情洋溢的欢迎邮件,一切似乎都很顺利。然而就在本周(四个月后),房东却因为重复预订而取消了我们的预订。房东提出补偿方案,并允许我们改订一周,但由于我们前一周已经预订了圣艾夫斯另一处度假小屋,而且我们是从西约克郡出发,所以这个方案行不通。此外,我们还有孩子在上学,而且我们已经休了年假,不可能在临近假期的时候随意更改日期。现在我们彻底陷入了困境,因为其他合适的房源都已经被预订了。房东甚至没有亲自和我们沟通,也没有提出任何其他补偿方案(如果我们取消任何已预订的房源,定金将不予退还)。请注意,这位房东办事能力很差,可能会在预订日期之后很久才取消您的假期。
