we recently booked a caravan in windermere and it was dirty. the shower was dirty and the bedlinen didn't smell fresh. also a damp smell in the caravan. since we came back, I have emailed hoseasons, opened up a resolver case and spent hours on the phone trying to get someone to answer. we sent lots of photos to show the state of the caravan and i stilI haven't had a response in nearly 6 weeks. I have booked with hoseasons before but never again!!

In August I had to cancel a trip to Scotland in October due to Covid. I understand how these companies are struggling so accepted a voucher for £220 which was the amount paid at the time. So using the voucher I booked something else with them a lot closer to home and paid an extra £225 at the start of October to fulfill the full balance. It is now against the law for me to take that holiday. They offered a refund or voucher, I was going to accept the voucher but seen it had to be used by Dec 31, I thought this was unfair so requested a refund. They have only refunded me the £225 I paid in October and not the full £445 so have effectively stolen the initial £220 off me. Can't get through to anyone anywhere to discuss, although I know what the answer will be when I do! Used them several times before without hitch, but they say the measure of the company is how they deal when things go wrong. Using that method, stay well away from these thieves!

COVID UNSAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When we arrived our first impressions was what a lovely caravan, but on closer inspection we found that we had no plug or bowl for the kitchen sink, also there were greasy marks all over the microwave door (obviously not cleaned) and a broken toilet seat. As for the frying pan it looked as though it had mouse droppings inside, but even that was being used to catch a drip from a leak under the sink. (Photographs attached) Now correct me if I am wrong but I was under the impression that the accommodation was going to have a stricter cleaning regime because of the Covid Virus. If this is so, why were these serious health problems not picked up on. As soon as we came across these problems I contacted the main reception who said that “they would get them sorted”,but after waiting a day I went to the reception again and was told that housekeeping was told about the problems but they had gone home for the day (Saturday) expecting them to come and sort the problems on Sunday was a waste of time because nobody came. We complained again on Monday and Tuesday but every time we complained we were fobbed off and was made to feel that we were nit picking. So we had to use kitchen roll for a plug in the kitchen sink all week, and by Monday we had purchased our own disinfectant to give everywhere a thorough clean Also when enquiring about a remote control for the fire I was told “Oh no we don't supply them” Well my answer is put the controls where we can reach without having to get on the floor and put your hand blindly up inside the fire!!! I got the impression that they were working on a shoestring BUT I think that has compromised our safety I would appreciate your comments before I escalate this complaint. THIS COMPLAINT WAS SENT BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REPLY.

Hoseasons are happy to take your money but will not answer the phone or call back when they say they will, do not waste your money booking with them!

Stayed at applegrove country park in Scarborough, on arrival found our accommodation to be more a caravan than a lodge. Paid £588 for 4 nights in a delux 3 spa, if this was deluxe I would hate to see a basic. The site was secluded as advertised, on entering the accommodation it felt dirty. My husband sat on the 2 seater sofa and immediately found someone's vape that had been left behind. The bed setee in the front room was ready for the tip and could not be sat on, Luckily there was only 2 of us and it was not required as a bed. The main bathroom smelt of damp/urine and the radiator leaked. Utensils in the kitchen drawer and the inside of the oven were dirty obviously hadn't been checked in-between guests, luckily there were only 2 of us as there was not enough bowls / cutlery for 6 people. The main bedroom was about the best room the bed was comfortable and the on suite toilet was clean and smell free. John the on site handyman and a lady who we never met but spoke to a couple of times were always very helpful. Left a day early as could not bear to spend another uncomfortable evening in the living area. We have stayed at a few places advertised through hoeseasons and this is the only one we have not been happy with

I had a holiday booked in the UK for May 2020 that was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic. I requested a refund in July, was told that the bank transfer had been initiated in September, and yet I have still not received the funds. The company has been very poorly responsive. I am extremely concerned that I will never received my money back.

My partner and I didn't think it was worth the money. And the caravan was dirty nothing like the one photo on the internet, if you'd put up a honest picture we would not have paid nearly £.600 ,l love west Sussex but feel I've been RIP off

we booked a Gold 2 caravan at stanwix holiday park, we booked this caravan because on the hoseasons web site it showed an armchair in it. We paid £100 extra for this caravan because of the better seating. When we got there we were disapointed there was no armchair, we complained to stanwix but they said it was Hoseasons fault for showing the wrong picture. The picture they showed was for a Gold 3 caravan. I have complained to Hoseasons through resolver and through an email but they have not bothered to reply. We have booked through them before but not again

Hoseasons may be giving refunds/vouchers for cancellations relating to Covid but they are still taking the full deposit if you cancel a 2021 booking without providing any options to rebook or offering a credit note/voucher against another booking, and that's even if you have insurance - shameful.

If there was a minus i would! I am a Nurse working through this hard time to support my family and patients. I was forced to move my march holiday as they wouldnt refund then. I am due to go in October. They will now not refund me because i dont have cancellation insurance. Even though the holiday park does not have any entertainment on pool shut restaurants shut and pub closed at 10. I paid for a full service and have to go in October to sit in a caravan and do nothing with my three year old! Disgusting

Booked for a couple of nights away in Caerwys. Money taken. Arrived after 90 min drive to be told Hoseasons shouldn’t have accepted our booking as the accommodation was already taken. The accommodation manager also informed me that they had a number of similar issues with Hoseasons over the last few months. The manager contacted Hoseasons who assured her they would call me back to discuss alternatives. They did not. I called Hoseasons but after 70 mins was unable to get through so ended the call. We then returned home. What a shambles. After (belatedly) reading these reviews I would never book through this company again. I’ll also be leaving these comments on lastminutecottages.com As I thought I booked through them but was only informed post-booking that Hoseasons were involved. My advice? DO NOT BOOK THROUGH HOSEASONS!

We went to Bowland fell tosside. We booked with hosea s not Bowland fell issue. The mattress the springs coming through very uncomfortable. The caravan was supposed to be luxury dog caravan carpet was bit dirty. The bedrooms no lights near beds. No curtain at the door so when you come out small bathroom people could see the shadow of you. Toilet was right near the door there were no shelfing to put our stuff on. We had a caravan there years ago and it was standard less money 2 bathrooms and a balcony. I fried to email hoseans but the site busy. Bit disappointed

I am absolutely DISGUSTED with the service I have received from your company via Cottages.com. Because of the illness of one of the party we were unable to undertake the booking we had made. Rather that lose the deposit paid I have tried on MULTIPLE occasions, over several weeks, to contact someone by phone and email in an effort to reschedule the date. I appreciate that you may have a high volume of calls but it is unacceptable to be expected to wait for more that 30+ minutes , minimum, to speak to an operator and incredibly frustrating that there has been NO response to any emails. I have now just recieved an automated phone call because I didn't respond to your email saying payment was due within 24 hours the booking has been cancelled and therefore the deposit will no doubt be forfeited. I wish I'd been able to respond!! !!! Once again I was unable to get through on the phone within the 24 hrs and no one responded to email resulting in no holiday and loss of money. Our party are incredibly disappointed at this situation and the person who is unwell is left feeling guilty. I would be very grateful, but somewhat surprised, if I received some sort of response to this post.

Booked 7 nights at Appley cottage, Exmoor Lodges, Somerset. Very pretty and cottage was immaculate, didn't realise on paying that they charge £50 each for animals as well as people! First evening we enjoyed the hot tub and then sat watching TV with the door open and someone waltzes in! They explained that it was to check the hot tub, which we were aware happens, what we weren't aware of was that they don't give any prior notice ie text message to say on way etc. Suppose you had a personal affliction (we don't have ) it would be polite for them to say that they were coming in 10 mins? When we complained we were spoken to with contempt and insulted with questions such as 'what have you got to hide'?. If i want a holiday with hosts i would book a B&B, this was self catering ie private and although i completely understand that the hot tubs have to be checked i really think that they could send a text to let their guests know that they were coming and if a guest isn't happy it might be nice if instead of talking down to them that they tried to explain in a pleasant manner. I've read other reviews that are mainly good but the odd few seem to be along similar lines as our own experience ie Diana and Gary are lovely hosts until anyone complains. Never again. Sticking to Brean Sands ☺
