Soo the Izaak Walton hotel where I had stayed a few years ago basically ran off with my deposit! So it doesn't look like I will be going there this summer afterall. I had only found out about them closing when looking at tripadvisor on the internet! But it wasn't triop advisor that was saying it, it was some customer that had turned up to find noone there!
Mark on my behalf has spoke to the tourist information down that way and they were aware of this going on with that hotel but couldn't really offer up any help on the matter.
They took my deposit im sure obviously knowing they were going under and was going to run. Bloody charming!
I don't exactly know 'what they stole' its either £50, £100 or £200. Il try and get around to looking at my past statements when I can! Its such a shame as this was in a beautiful location and it was that hotel and location why I booked to take mum and tim.
The izzak Walton where we were meant to be, sigh.
I have now booked alternate places. So spent out more than I expected, sigh but after my dads death I really did want to do something with mum and tim that was of a memory. Nothing too big as mum and I are both too anxious really but we have rare memories of any holidays and so wanted to do something.
I cant predict how my anxiety is going to be in the summer as its a few months away but the more I was leaving things the more places were getting booked out.
In the end I have done one stay at a travellodge. One night at a B&B that overlooks a lake in the town of Buxton. And a B&B that is just five minutes away from where we were going to be near the Izaak Walton. I kind of felt like getting a picnic and sitting on their garden to take in the views and then if anyone came along to remove us I could bark "ive paid a deposit here and so im getting SOME of my monies worth!" lol. I don't feel that id be trespassing as I have paid money! and more than what it would cost to sit on their grass for an hour! lol But I wont bother but still doesn't mean I don't have those thoughts! lol
Here is the B&B we will be staying in instead.
And here is the other B&B we will stay in
Wel be going to Chatsworth house as ive been there before so think mum and tim should like it. Aswell as walking amongst the monkeys which ive done before and hope they like that also. Id like to visit trentham gardens and the towns of buxton and a couple of other little things. It wont be a big holiday but a little something for memories. Just hope I get there in the first place and then hope it turns out nice.
