Booked 4 nights accommodation for my son's rugby tour, and was asked to pay in full upfront. Unfortunately, the tour was cancelled, and I immediately advised them of such, giving them 23 days notice.

No warm water in the morning which was a big disappointment after a cold night. Old bed linen which although clean it had some aged stains specially the pillow cases. Not...
