Very good

It was a lovely house to stay, but one of the en suites floor was quite badly lifting and was a hazard for anybody tripping on it, I did let the manager know and he said they could off rectified it, but that would of been no good as we were already there and starting our holiday and the floor would have to of been taken up, after saying this to the manager we heard nothing else from them which I think is not a very good way of running a business, he obviously didn’t have an answer and didn’t want to offer anything for the inconvenience. This should of been put right before anybody else was to rent the house. Maria
