 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Been offered a weekend B&B, flights and car hire for £300 for two. Only catch is you have to go to the timeshare presentation. Anyone been on one of these weekends and got any views on how good value it is and how long the sales pitch takes?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Wouldnt touch it with a bargepole!
Went to a similar thing before but you had to stay until the end (all day - 6hrs) to have a chance of getting the hol promised and even then it seemed unlikely to actually happen....

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Steve Sparks, You have to decide if a weekend spent being 'sold to' is something you'd enjoy. If so go for it, but if the thought of being forced to sit through at least one, if not two days of presentations on the value of their 'vacation package' fills you with dread - Stay away!
BTW I have a timeshare in Spain, which so far has been very enjoyable - got nothing against timeshare as a concept, just don't enjoy long sales presentations

Thanks guys, I wondered if this being "De Vere" hotels proprieters of our own dear Grand here in Brighton and it being a scottish lodge might make it any different from your regular timeshare sales pitch.
Roger C, the pitch takes place up there after they've flown you up and you've had a night there. I don't suppose they can lock you in can they?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Only one way to find out

Steve Sparks,
The In laws have there timeshare at Cameron house and we all go there every year, it is a fanatsic place (considering you cann't ski there!). It is meant to be about the best timeshare place in europe, and normally when we are there, there are a bunch of celebs there. As my claim to fame was sat in the steam room and and in walked ulrika johnson, which perked me up a little  , also most of the rangers and celtic teams use it frequently.
But due to it being the in-laws place I have never had to go through the hard sell, but the feeling of the place is a lot more relaxed than those in the med etc.
Hope you enjoy if you end up going and the presenattion doesn't last too long.
Is the B&B in the House or in the lodges?
