Disappointing stay in an idyllic place
We had a great family gathering at an idyllic location but it was totally spoiled by us having to clean the property upon arrival.
There are notices up everywhere advising that the property must be cleaned before departure and you must vacate before 10.00am as that is when the cleaners will arrive. Failure to meet these conditions will incur fees.
Clearly the rules didn’t apply to the previous occupants and the cleaners didn’t do their job either.
