I’d booked a lovely ski holiday for new year. Last week Crystal rang to say they’d overbooked and the hotel wasn’t available. They did offer an alternative, but it didn’t have half the features of the original. The most important is the supervised kids club and play room because I’m travelling alone with my child. It was…
