    “On arriving the apartment looked lovely,wonderful views but no bath as was stated in the description of the property.”

    First night had a shower, there was no hot water pressure, the overhead shower just dripped and the hand held shower head had to be no higher than shoulder height for it to trickle out. Mentioned it to staff next day, lady came to see us to say it was all fixed but it was just the same for the whole week. We were told you had to expect these things from an old castle, old pipes etc. Following night all electric went off at 10pm did not come back until 8am. No torch provided and the heating and ...

    First night had a shower, there was no hot water pressure, the overhead shower just dripped and the hand held shower head had to be no higher than shoulder height for it to trickle out. Mentioned it to staff next day, lady came to see us to say it was all fixed but it was just the same for the whole week. We were told you had to expect these things from an old castle, old pipes etc. Following night all electric went off at 10pm did not come back until 8am. No torch provided and the heating and cold water wouldn't work. Next day the bottom oven was not working but fixed it while we went out for tea and because the weather was cold tried to put the electric fire on but that didn't work either. Apart from the lovely views the apartment was a disappointment and we won't be returning.
