"When we arrived it looked beautiful, upon looking around there was only 1 toilet roll for 3 nights!"
! Both of the double beds was uncomfortable and sounded like they was going to collapse at any time, under the beds was filthy full of dust, the cupboard had an awful smell and the hoover wouldn’t even pick up a ball of dust, the hot tub was lovely but no lights so had to keep throwing your arms around when the outside light went off, and both children came out of the pool with cut hands due to sharp edges and not to mention the muck at the bottom of the pool we ended up leaving a day early and most definitely not work the money we paid!!
