All the information on our website has been given in good faith, however, since we include so much detail and
as the website is continually updated there may be occasions when advertised facilities may be altered or withdrawn
for reasons outside our control during your own particular holiday. For example, planned entertainment
may be charged or cancelled, or during the low season the swimming pool may be closed. Further, the operation
of certain amenities & facilities may be subject to local licensing laws or religious holidays, Maintenance
and local energy conservation measures may mean the campsite limits certain facilities. Eg.water supplies,
weather conditions can cause electricity failures. In such circumstances as described Lifestyle Holidays shall be

transport and other services is subject to local laws, regulations, standards and codes of practise of France &
Spain. The legal and safety requirements of Spain and France are lower than that of the UK or Eire. You should

make your own arrangements for meals and accommodation if required. Lifestyle Holidays Ltd does not provide

after the initial booking, this must be communicated to Lifestyle Holidays Ltd. Failure to do so may result in
