Center Parcs found itself in more strife today after a tweet suggested guests would have to remain in their lodges on the day of the Queen's funeral. The park operator was slammed yesterday after saying that it would close its parks on Monday, September 19, which is a bank holiday to mark the historic occasion.
However, it later did a U-turn, saying that guests who were due to stay there on that date would be allowed to remain on site, but facilities would be closed. It came after people who were due to be there on the day blasted the company, saying in many cases that it would be difficult to find alternative accommodation for the one night.
After revealing that its five parks would close for 24 hours from 10am on Monday, the company received complaints from angry customers. It had been announced that guests part-way through their holidays would be forced to spend the night elsewhere or go home early.
