We have tried to take a pragmatic approach to bookings/refunds/vouchers etc. on the basis that we've already paid and actually lost a holiday/trip and time with friends and family.

If we think the business might survive and we're likely to use them again then a rebooking/voucher is a reasonable way to go.
We've done that for most commitments. And to be honest I can't even recall what I've paid to the hotel in Kelso….
(Edit, just £50 deposit, way less than the petrol we would have consumed getting there and back and over the weekend)

Oddly a hotel we booked in Glasgow (for tonight!) at a cheap prepaid non-changeable non-refundable rate has actually refunded us! We cancelled as soon as we knew we weren't going mainly as a courtesy so they knew we wouldn't be arriving as they're probably running a skeleton staff by now.

Our flight this afternoon to Glasgow was cancelled some time ago by BA and we've asked for a full refund (but not been paid it yet, it's well overdue). The alternative was a voucher only valid for 12 months and the chances of us flying with BA in the next 12 months are realistically probably pretty low now...
