Owner's reply:
Sadly I would not welcome this couple back to the cottage. I have been in the holiday letting business for 18 years and know what is clean and what is dirty when guests leave. I could go on about the condition the cottage was left in , but really it is not important as it is my word against the guests. I do not want guests like these if they treat someone else's property in the way they did. Sadly there are always some people in this world feel the right they can behave this way and get away with it! Please, if you have no respect for other peoples property then you would not be welcome in either of my cottages. Please check out the other reviews!
