15. Pool heating notes:

Pool heating is available for the minimum of £100 per week and the minimum period is 7 days.  When requesting pool heating please bear in mind that the weather effects the pool temperature.  Heavy rain can neutralise the heating and the ambient air temperature also impacts on the pool heating.  If the average ambient temperature is 12 degrees or less then the pool heating will not get to a temperature suitable for comfortable swimming.

The pool heating is switched on 3 days prior to arrival, so if bad weather means you cannot use the pool your money cannot be refunded as expenses have already been incurred.

As the temperature can drop considerably at night, if you do not use the pool cover then heat will escape and the pool temperature can drop quite dramatically.  No complaints regarding the pool temperature can be considered if the pool cover is not used daily. 

If the pool heating fails then a pro rata refund will be made as long as the client advises us of the problem whilst in resort.
