Currently staying in a caravan on of those holiday park things. Thought it would just be nice to go somewhere for the weekend. It’s absolutely boiling not enough space you can’t swing a cat in here. It’s supposed to be one of the ‘’nicer caravans’’ I can’t imagine what the other ones are like. I haven’t slept a wink in I’m hot itchy and feel gross. But the kids are having a good time. Tried to find somewhere a bit better on Airbnb but nothing really nearby.

If its just for the weekend then surely you'll be going tonight anyway? I wouldn't bother leaving at this point, let them enjoy the day and then leave in the evening so you can hopefully get some sleep tonight, although I'm up and mnetting because I couldn't sleep in my own room - unless you have full AC at home it's boiling everywhere!

No idea why the first poster was so unnecessarily arsey btw. Heat must be getting to them too

When do you leave? Can you leave the night before as a compromise so you don’t miss much.

I’d suck it up. Different if you were there for a whole week, but it’s one weekend.

Do Airbnbs have different weather??

If the kids are enjoying it I'd try to stick it out to be honest. Sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear! Otherwise this will forever be the holiday you spoiled by dragging them home early.

Can you buy a fan to help you stay cool? I live somewhere that has hot summers and absolutely can’t sleep without a fan on summer nights.

Were you trying to sound cool saying '' one of those holiday parks things'

If caravans are so beneath you more fool you for booking it. It must be embarrassing for you that the kids could enjoy such a holiday
