holiday.Lynsey Halliday had travelled for six hours on Monday to the Brean Sands Pontins in Burnham-on-Sea only to be told the eight-berth cabin they had booked was currently under maintenance and was not in use.The 39-year-old, who made the journey from Norris Green with her son, her parents, brother and his daughter, said they were asked to move into two smaller one-bed apartments, but Lyndsey realised they would not be suitable due to her disability.Lyndsey was diagnosed with chronic juvenile arthritis at the age of 14 and had major surgery to replace her knee in January.She said the new room would have required her to sleep on a sofa bed, something with her condition she could not do.

Speaking to the ECHO Lynsey said: "I explained that I was disabled and my mum was disabled and was there nothing else they could offer us maybe something with two bedrooms." "She went and spoke to her manager and came out and said 'my manager said you either take this or just go home'."I said 'pardon' I could not believe that she even suggested that.

No apology, no nothing."I asked her to go and get the manager because I didn't want him passing messages between us."
