to be thoroughly disgruntled by Butlins customer service

Two weeks ago I contacted Butlins to ask if they ever offer non-standard break lengths as, due to a very close family bereavement and illness, we would struggle with the full 4 days. I was told no, but that they were in the middle of their "best ever" sale they would really recommend I book by midnight as prices would increase (I was led to believe by quite a lot).

The price tumbled by £40 last week and I contacted customer service who said they don't price match, which I understand but given I was convinced (at a very difficult time) to book I feel really cross about this. We go on Monday and this morning the quote was £60 less than I paid.

Butlins haven't responded to my Facebook message or tweet about this. I probably am being unreasonable, but it's rounded off a really horrid few months Sad

That's a good result. Where are you going?

glad you got something but I think they're still being a bit unreasonable and should price match somehow even if it's with vouchers, better upgrade etc

A very brief update. On arrival we were unexpectedly upgraded to a gold apartment.

It sounds like they dealt with it well.

I'm sure that the employee who advised you believed that those were the best prices. He was wrong, but as they don't offer a best price guarantee not much can be done.
