I think i may have made a mistake with my booking for august . I loved the campsiite so much I  got carried away ,took a chance and booked a pitch that maybe too small .

the useable area of the pitch is 10m x 6m and my tent is 7.5m x 6.15m so 15cm's bigger than the useable area. there is 1.5m at the edge of the pitch  for safety and 2 sides of our pitch are next to a road so I am thinking  I could get away with the extra 15 cm,s as long as its on a road side .

what do you think am I making a huge mistake , I have asked about cancellation but can't get a refund only a week in low season next year instead which would be ok but i'm not sure we can afford to book another week in august and i daren't tell dh I've messed up.

do you think I will be able to get away with an extra 15 cms ?

I am assuming your dimensions exclude guy lines?
If your actual tent is 750cm x 615cm you then need to allow for guys at least 1m in each direction.
This means overall you need 950cm x 815cm so if the useable pitch size is 10m x 6m you aren't going to fit!!!

I would ring the site.
