AIBU to think they should put us up...

[Mammyloveswine]

Currently at center parcs in whinfell, Cumbria... supposed to be packed up and ready to leave by 10am tomorrow. We've got to get to Newcastle but major roads across have been closed today and there are statements advising only absolutely essential journeys.

Ive got a two year old and two month old and feel absolutely sick at the thought of them being on the roads in this weather.

According to the manager we have to be out because they are "fully booked" this weekend and need to prepare for the weekend guests. I completely understand but genuinely dont know what we'll do if roads are closed and we get stranded. Already tried to book into Travelodge and premier inn in penrith but seems everyone else has the same idea as no room!

Probably more of a rant than an aibu as i suppose we're not the responsibility of center parcs so in that respect i am being a bit unreasonable..

Glad CP have made a sensible decision. I've always found them must accommodating even though others question their CS.

Now get ye down to the sub tropical paradise - garunteed warmth

Not had chance to come back before now as been waiting to hear and trying to make plans!

CP have been amazing, putting us up for the night (and the weekend if we need it!). So i dont have to travel with my babies!

Thank you to all those who have commented-just to clarify, when i said i would share with another family i meant a family that were in the same situation as us, not newly arriving guests!

There are quite a few of us who the cp staff have actually advised not to travel and they have allocated accomodation to all those for which travel would be unsafe.

Brilliant Mammy. I’m so relieved for you and pleased that CP have demonstrated excellent customer service 👏

Glad to hear it as frankly anything else would be callous.

Hopefully it will be free or at a discount?

Really can't fault the staff at all! Customer service at its finest!

Yes the lodge has been provided free of charge!

Great news. I am also glad it is free of charge as well, plenty of people wouldn't be able to stump up CP prices unexpectedly.

That’s great Mammy. Hope you can enjoy the enforced, extended stay.

Great news. Make sure you have told the manager all mumsnet knows how good he is!

Fantastic outcome OP, so pleased to.hear you're all ok. What a nightmare for you, hopefully you can relax now tonight with that glass of wine and have a good chuckle at some of the comments on this thread. Enjoy x wind is raging out there but looking hopeful that things will improve in few days.

Great outcome OP!
And how lovely of CP to sort it for you with no fuss!

Great!
