Disgusting

Disappointed disgusting dangerous and totally unacceptable. The only thing I can say positive about the property is the gentleman who works there he made some lovely breakfasts and always did his best. The owners whom I met were made aware of the rats occupying the first two rooms I was shown rat feces and urine on the beds and throughout the rooms. The owners had no interest or intention of spending any time or money on the property they were more concerned about the new buildings being built on the land. The most irresponsible business owners I have met they had to be reminded on several occasions to pay their internet bill so wi fi was available which was 20% of the time the location is remote and treacherous to drive or walk. I will be contacting hotels. Com this property and anything the owners own in the future should not be listed on their site. The owners should be ashamed at how they neglect their property.
