To think this is unfair? Holiday.

[Chefpig]

I'm going on holiday with another person. Last time we went, they had the much nicer accommodation and mine was very basic. This time, check in is at different times and they're insisting I have the first accommodation we can check in to earlier as I have pets and they think I should settle the pets in, and they have the second. I mentioned the other day that we should look at them both and this time its my choice to choose which I prefer out of the two. We can always go in the first at check in and move my pets easily to the second. This is something she agreed to and is now going back on her word. AIBU to be pissed off at this? I really don't want to go away now.

Just say no, it my turn this time,

weve already ageeed this and I would like to wait

then grey rock it

inwant to wait, my choice. My turn etc. over and over

It sounds like you’ve always booked the carvans as a gift - if so, I’d expect them to get the nicer one.
If it’s too hard, just don’t go again next year. Not worth the hassle.

Is this a haven site? If so you have to pay extra to know which caravan you are going to be in (locations wise), otherwise they only release the location details 24 hrs before, and you have to pay extra to have an earlier check in usually.

So if she has paid to choose the location, and the holiday is not starting tomorrow, then you may be able to log in and choose a different location.. if not and you have the accommodation details, call them up and upgrade to a silver dog-friendly caravan instead.

trying to make someone do anything when they have paid for the entire holiday is pointless though surely?

I'm hoping the caravan in the middle is a lot nicer inside than the one by the coastal path!
Hope you a lovely time Op with your dogs which ever caravan you have🐾

Very cryptic post.
Cheap AI job?

Tell her you need more space around you for the dogs as well as the closer proximity to the coastal path to walk the dogs.
So confidently say you will wait for that later check in thank you.

You get whichever accommodation you've paid for and chosen. Whatever your friend says isn't relevant.

Agree with this, might as well just suck it up now it’s not like your miles apart

Who put her in charge?

Why don't you arrange to arrive later, when the second caravan will be available. Additionally, next year go somewhere without her. She doesn't sound like a pleasant holiday companion.

It sounds as though you should say you want the one nearer the beach and have done with it. Phone up and speak directly to the staff now in low season and they should be able to be specific about the choices. Your mother sounds selfish and used to getting her way so you just have to be direct and broach no changes to your agreement. I wish you luck and a nice holiday.
