Sarah Kershaw, of Oldham, spent a week at an all-inclusive hotel in Icmeler with her husband Stephen and children Paige, 16, Patrick, 13, and Stephanie, 12, in July.
The family, from Chadderton, had been “so excited” for their first holiday abroad together – despite being forced to re-book multiple times.

When July 2021 rolled around, restrictions were still in place, meaning the family had no option but to reschedule their holiday again. Care worker Sarah, 42, told the Manchester Evening News: “I was getting stressed out. The more times I changed it, the more money the company wanted."
Not wanting to lose the £4,000 put towards the trip, Sarah forked out to change the holiday again. She also had to pay a £240 fine for taking two of her children on holiday during term time – the only date left available.

“I couldn’t believe my first family holiday was happening,” Sarah added. “We were all excited. But we got there only to find a disgusting hotel room in a disgusting part of the complex. The food was disgusting
