As with a lot of people I too lost my deposit of £333. My booking was made in March for April stay and postponed due to COVID. I asked for a refund and was sent a cheque that bounced (In May). I then asked for a card refund and was told the Hotel would open on 1st June (Later also told August and then September.) I called the hotel several times and each time was told they would be opening as soon as it's safe to and I, therefore, kept the booking(as it was a birthday treat for my 93-year-old Mother-in-law) When I called to rebook (they never called me on any occasion over the 6 months ) They tried to charge me an extra £200 (which thankfully I didn't pay....even though it would appear at that time they knew they were in trouble !?) I rebooked for October and then happened to read in the papers they had gone into administration (something they knew about as early as June!) Not the way to act in any circumstances....I Will wait to see if the management buys it back. Feel cheated…

One of the many people cheated by this hotel. My wife & I have stayed each year for a number of years. Made a booking for our usual suite and paid deposit of £540 on 8th July 2020 for 3 nights 9th Sept. Received E.mail 26th Aug awaiting CIBILS Loan and not now opening until 1st October.Offered refund as per the booking conditions or credit note for 18months! Requested immediate refund. 27th August E.mail advised that in the absence of the release of loan monies no funds available to pay refund and claim should be made through my bankers. I now learn that hotel is to enter liquidation and that liquidators were approached on 3rd July, 5 DAYS BEFORE ACCEPTING MY BOOKING AND TAKING MY DEPOSIT! There is an estimated deficiency of £2.3million. I always felt that there were laws concerning trading when insolvent? Why has a deposit, held in trust to secure a booking, been used for goodness knows what? Why was an offer of a refund made, in the absence of funds, and withdrawn the following day. There was clearly no ability to honour the offer which was entirely within the booking terms. I have absolutely no sympathy with a business trading with these ethics.…

I feel so sorry for all the lovely staff that once again this beautiful hotel is going into liquidation. Watch it rise again from the ashes by the same guy that had bought and has gone into liquidation twice. Andrew Davis and the Von Essen group, one and the same. Shame on you.

We have stayed and eaten at Sharrow Bay many times over the years and booked to go in April this year with friends which of course we couldn’t do as it was closed due to COVID. We have been trying to get our £640 back ever since and as you can see from correspondence below from Sharrow Bay it’s just a series of broken promises. 3rd April 2020 - Sharrow Bay Hotel Limited fully intends to honour its debt to you, however we appreciate your patience at this difficult financial time while we try to navigate a path forward together with our accountants, to finalise a successful financial resolution. 10th June 2020 - We do apologize that we’ve been unable to process your refund at present. We can confirm that all of our outstanding guest refunds will be honoured. 31st August 2020 - Unfortunately our funding (CIBIls loan) has been delayed which has meant that we have had to put our re-opening back. This has also had the knock on effect on delaying our ability to process refunds, as soon as this arrives we will be able to process you refund. 23rd September 2020 - As detailed in the enclosed letter, the company has ceased to trade and will be entering into creditors voluntary liquidation on 2 October 2020. As a result the company cannot refund the amount you have paid for goods/services.…
