We have been looking in to going to forest holidays.
We can only go the weekend and you can only book Friday -Monday.
We can’t get the Monday off so will have to only stay the Friday -Sunday.
Check out is normally 10am Monday.
We spoke to someone today and they daid it will be the same price Fri-Sunday as Friday -Monday as they don’t offer 2 nights -which is absolutely fine but they have said we have to check out by 10am Sunday.
So I’m confused if we have paid till 10 am Monday ..why can’t we stay till 3pm Sunday and leave ?
Aibu to think this is silly ?

How exactly will they stop you just leaving? I’d be dropping off the key on Sunday pm and saying I had an emergency.

Book Friday to Monday and you are entitled to stay there until Monday morning. No need to tell them you will be leaving Sunday. Just leave when you choose. They can't stop you!

Just book until Monday morning and then leave on Sunday evening whenever it suits. I find now in hotels yhey dont need to see you at departure as they have your card details so if you added anything to bill they are not out of pocket. Just leave keys in room and go. They lose nothing and cleaners can start in your place first thing Monday morning.

YANBU. If you still want to go despite this, you might as well book Friday - Monday and check out at your leisure on Sunday.
