Response from the manager Thank you for your comments. I am sorry to hear that the development had an impact on your holiday. Regrettably, as these are elements outside of the property, they are out of the owners control. In this instance the weather heightened the impact that the development had during your stay. I can only apologise that this was the case. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. Kind Regards, Customer Relations.
