Barrhead Travel Service - hotel booking

I am writing to let use know that i booked an all inclusive holiday with your company to Sunny beach Bulgaria Laguna Park. I travelled here on the 16th of September for 2 weeks with my 3 year old daughter, my father and myself for 2 weeks. Let's just say i am not one bit happy about this holiday and i will be taking use the full way. On the 2nd week of our holiday the hotel was an absolute disgrace! The food was horrible the standard of the food had dropped from the first week, the snack bar closed down and might i add the food standards in the snack bar was diabolical! The food looked preheated and dried out and scattered all over the place! My 3 year old daughter had took the runs the full 2 weeks we were there! They closed half of the restaurant, on lunch all there was on offer in the restaurant was a slice of pizza and dried out sandwiches. The entertainment had all stopped there was no entertainment for the kids at night no music, no nothing! They closed all the flumes and the kids flumes in the childrens pool, baring in mind i had still had a few days of my holiday left with a crying kid because she couldn't play on the chutes or pirate ship! They told us it was because it was end of season. I was also not informed about this, we paid the same amount of money as other people that came earlier in the year but yet we didn't get treated with the same standards! Being the last 3 people to leave a big hotel like that is horrible. This is just not acceptable at all. If i had been told it was end of season i wouldn't have booked that holiday in the first place! Also the day before we fly out your company decide to send me a later stating that my return flight will drop passengers of in East Midlands before we fly back to Glasgow! This was just not acceptable as there was not a thing i could have done as i was flying out the next day! We get to East Midlands to then be told we have to get of the plane and go to another gate to go through all security checks again, just to get back on the same plane and same seats! To then fly back to Glasgow. Since getting home both my father and i have took very ill and we are only getting worse! Both your company, Balkan holidays and hotel Laguna Park has ruined our full holiday that we saved for a long time to get. I will be demanding compensation and now my next step is to head to citizens advice then my lawyer as i am no one bit impressed with all this and will be taking use every step of the way as i believe we deserve compensation in return of the shamble of a holiday yous sold us!

Barrhaed travel online exchange for euro, 1.22 for a pound very good you think, that's only if you order online. there's a phone number in bold, write next to this great offer, , i think ill give them a call then i can pick up in shop since i stay in Barrhead. was told i can get euros in Silverburn, great i'll go in on the way to edinburgh airport. stopped in picked up went to edinburgh very fast service. got to the airport and checked the paper work "what the France 1.15 euro for a pound "realised I've been had (robbed, ripped off, mugged, hijacked) feel free to add some more expletives . so i phoned them up in a calm manner to try and find out how I've been legally conned, the nice girl at barrhead travel says well its quite easy sucker i mean sir we don't legally have to advertise our exchange rate in our shop or windows anymore( what a great opportunity to steel peoples hard earned cash off them ) and loose customers . you've been warned
