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
