On arrival we were asked to stump up the full amount for thee nights stay without viewing the accommodation.If you want to call me naive for doing this then you are well within your rights.However going on holiday should never be a gamble and for £350 you should have a degree of confidence.The "lodge" was dirty and smelly and as... more

Arrived here after a long drive and were taken aback to be asked for money up front. The alarm bells should have started then. Shown to a 'lodge' better described as a shed.
