All sensible ideas considered.....

hmmm definitely worth calling frenchlife again i think

and if they say that they can't accomodate you after oct 25th, ask why!

Might have to have a look at Accor (although not Mr T-friendly I presume!) and ask a few questions of French Life!

 

[britchic4]

I just tried Accor and it says not available on those dates so now I don't know what to think!

 

[jillrobinson]

I've just tried it too and now it's saying unavailable
and when I go into my history and click on the search results from earlier it says, "this document has temporarily been moved". So who knows !!!

I've emailed the hotel direct to ask.

Curiouser and curiouser! I checked French Life this morning and the campsite had reappeared on their website. This afternoon it has gone again! Definitely some funny business going on!

have you tried ringing them again ?

 

[britchic4]

I rang Canvas Life, to check what was what, although I didn't mention the Alice in Wonderland disappearing act. They are part of French Life, and they do accept Tesco vouchers. If I went direct to their website instead of through French Life, the campsite still appears. It doesn't help for October, because it does close then and next school year is a SATS year for DS so I'm definitely stuck to school holidays. BUT I asked about May, and in May the minimum spend is £300 not £500 which is good news.

they used to be camping life didnt they ?

i didnt think you could use deals with them anymore ? its not listed on tesco.com deals section

so you are no closer to sorting anything out ?

 

[britchic4]

If you go to the French Life website, and go to the camping section, you are redirected to the Canvas Life website - they must be the camping arm of French Life I suppose. Anyway, the guy on the phone was happy to take Tesco vouchers, as long as they are the minimum spend (1 week was £225 I think though, so you would have to pay £300 in vouchers for that and I haven't worked out yet if that's worth doing).

thats only £75 though really, as you divide the price by 4

thanks for that ,worth knowing you can use deals with them still

ETA ah yes they have changed the homepage ,and even if you put in www.frenchlife.co.uk you are redirected to www.chooseacottage.co.uk !!

click on apartments / villas etc and its via frenchlife but camping is via canvas life!

 

[britchic4]

I've just checked and I have £73.50 in vouchers - aaargh!!
I wonder if these are just regular deals tokens or ones that have your name on? Will have to do some homework. When I was originally thinking of going I was factoring in future cc points but in May/June I wouldn't have those.

if you call disney they will tell you the dates that all the best offers combine, im off in a week for 5nts 6 days, park passes at davy crockett ranch for £560, thats for a family of four! add in £120 ( actually £62 with a deal i got|) for the chunnel and you get nearly a week away for under £700. it'd be rude not to really
