Center Parcs has u-turned on its decision to ban holidaymakers from staying at their resorts on September 19.
Distraught families complained in their droves after the company announced it would close on the day of the Queen’s funeral.
Guests due to arrive on Monday were told not to travel and to arrive on Tuesday instead.
But Center Parcs say they have now ‘reviewed our position regarding the very small number of guests who are not due to depart on Monday’.
Their statement added: ‘We will be allowing them to stay on our villages rather than having to leave and return on Tuesday.
‘The villages will still remain closed on Monday and we will be offering a discount for the lack of facilities available on that day.’
Center Parcs has been contacted by Metro.co.uk for additional comment.
Earlier in the day, the company had said the decision to close was made ‘as a mark of respect’ and ‘to allow as many of our colleagues as possible to be part of this historic moment’.
It added: ‘We hope our guests will understand our decision to support our Queen on her final journey.’
Laura Magor, 33, was among guests whose breaks had been temporarily disrupted by the sudden announcement.
Her family had been due to celebrate on the last day of a long weekend stay at Longleat Forest in Wiltshire.
Laura told Metro.co.uk: ‘We have the utmost respect and understand that the Queen’s funeral is very important, but we also feel it is very last minute, as they said the other day that they were going to keep the park open and display the funeral on screens.’
