Please be aware that we currently have some construction at our neighbours' properties on both sides. It hasn’t been too intrusive to date, but we cannot say how things will be in coming weeks. We prefer to inform in advance so you can make an informed decision about coming.
Of course, if either of these developments inconvenience or disturb your stay we will make an appropriate gesture, however, it is impossible to say at this stage what that could be without yet knowing the levels of disruption, if indeed any at all.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you would like further information on the construction, or wish to discuss this situation. We look forward to hearing from you and to welcoming you to Les Ilets.
