Feels like we were cheated

This is the 2nd time we've booked at Thirsk Racecourse. The first time, we realised we hadn't checked to see if there was a race meeting that weekend - and when we realised there was, we cancelled. So next time, we made sure to check beforehand. No races planned for the weekend we booked. Lovely. Until we arrived at 7pm on Friday, only to find that a race meeting had been arranged since we booked meaning we had to be off the site by 10am on the Sunday. For us working folks, we already only get one proper day out of a weekend away (Saturday), but we enjoy our lazy Sundays as part of our getaways. But not this time, as we would have to be up from 7am to ensure everyone was washed, fed and packed. I can't help but feel that the site should have contacted us to tell us about the race meeting - but that they chose not to, as they didn't want to lose any money from the cancellations that could have occurred (we certainly would have tried to book somewhere else instead). Apart from that, the site is reasonable. Nice and flat with large grass pitches. The toilet block was clean, but basic (typical racecourse style). The noise from the Lidl next door was surprisingly loud late at night, and the lane to the rear of the site had loud cars at various times. But of course the site can't help any of this. Location is perfect for Thirsk - a 5 min walk. If that No Wifi, but 3G (didn't get any 4G) was excellent on '3'.
