"We had to close six weeks earlier than planned due to Storm Arwen.
“As a gesture of goodwill we wish to open a few days earlier than March 9. This will allow us to show our appreciation to our owners by giving them sole access to our facilities without holidaymakers on the site.
"We have circa 700 owners on the park of which we'd expect 100 to 200 to come down on the weekend of March 4-6, bringing additional visitors to the area.”
