    who did you book through ? was it on a site . like holiday park etc . you can give them a bad review on something that has a few reviews already (trip advisor . holiday truths, type of thingy ) you can name and shame here too. If someone else googles the name of the cottage or person this would show up. What area is it in etc
    :cool: hard as nails on the internet . wimp in the real world :cool:

    What? You didn't mention these points until after your stay was complete? Couldn't have been too bad, could it?

    Did you report the problems before leaving?

    Did you give the service provider an opportunity to put things right before leaving?

    That's now four questions I've asked.
    You have answered none.
    Good luck.

    Yes you would, but the reality is that it wasn't. If you complained at the time, you are in a better position to get some money back or allow them to put the defects/problems right.

    That's the point when you should have phoned the owner.

    You didn't notice stains and cobwebs etc . etc. the day you arrived or the next morning before you went out?

    It couldn't have been that bad.
