To expect MoH to refund hen accommodation after we were refused access?

[Hennightmare]

I attended a hen party at the weekend - Friday to Sunday, staying close to a seaside resort in a private accommodation. I paid my share in advance - nearly £300.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the owner who refused entry on the basis that hen parties (and same sex groups/stags) are not allowed and this is stated in the booking terms and conditions and elsewhere on the website. Despite reasoning, the owner was not backing down, and said there’d been an incident with a same sex group two weekends ago which required costly repairs.

MoH said she was aware of other hens who had stayed and this is how she found the place on instagram. She was told no refund would be given as there wouldn’t be time to let it again for the weekend.

We managed to find budget hotel rooms in the area but this scuppered the plans which were in place for the house - games etc.

I have looked myself and it is prominent on the website about the rules around hen parties etc. It is clear there has been inconsistent approaches in the past though.

Should the MoH cover us for her mistake? I am out of pocket after the hotel booking.

YABU - suck it up, it happened
YANBU - her mistake, she should offer to cover it

Then why this thread? Why not just have allowed the MoH to draw a line under matters?

You almost got to the end of the thread before showing your true colours…

I really hope this story is made up. For my own sanity, I am going to assume it is. The thread and the story are so nasty in so many ways.

My sincere Dapologies.

You are quite unpleasant aren't you? Your hands weren't tied with the £130.

You mustn't be on here much, this is the home of competitive under eaters. The majority who isn't is on WLI. However you've summed yourself up. Such a small amount of money means more than doing what's right.

I was completely on your side at the beginning. But then seeing how easily you were won over by a bribe for your silence, has made me rethink my opinion. And your jibe about people’s weight is just embarrassing for you.

What a mean, spiteful comment.

If people give it out, they have to expect some in return.

I bet that poor person who objected feels great now after no one backed her up, she must be really looking forward to seeing you all at the wedding. Enjoy your money op.

But to insult overweight people? The person you retaliated against didn’t make any comment about weight. It just randomly shows your prejudice against fat people. Weird.

I do think the truth will come out about your bribe. So perhaps have an answer ready for when that happens.

I suspect the other hens may have a different view, if they ever find out about your private refund

But you didn't "give it back" to that user, you just fat shamed mumsnet at large?

Oh these things always come out and when it does, YOUR reputation will be in tatters, even more so than that idiot MoH.

I actually would judge you and your duplicity in this more harshly.
This is really dishonourable behaviour and you have put a pennys price on your character IMO.

But you didn't "give it back" to that user, you just fat shamed mumsnet at large?

Please don’t de-rail the thread with an argument about weight

Where are the Daily Mail when you need them?
Perfect thread for an article IMO.

Really hoping this gets picked up by Mail! I have read many things on MN over the years, but this has shocked me! For what it’s worth, you’re weak and hypocritical OP. I hope it all comes out at the wedding.

The villains in this thread are the MOH, but she wouldn't get away without the helpmof the cow that is the bride and the op. Bunch of thieves they are

So not sharing it with the other hens

shakes head

that’s pretty selfish of you but you know that

You're whole attitude has changed since you got money back. You don't care about anyone but yourself. Vile attitude to have to others

This

I’ve lost money, we all have.

No you* *haven't!.. you've been given your money back!.. everyone else has lost £130 through no fault of their own.

I"ve read the updates. The MOH is totally at fault for not getting the full refund from the owner when it was offered.
You should have shared your £130 with the others, and supported the share out of the £300 too. You've hung the other woman out to dry really. It would only be £50-60 or so but it seems unfair that you're the only one to get any money back.
I would be mortified as a bride if my MOH did this.
I wouldn't be surprised if some hens don't go to the wedding now.

If the b&b owner is able to publically comment on his reviews then he'll give the truth of what happened to everyone
