    Your feedback is very much appreciated and we are so sorry that you did not have an enjoyable stay. We will ensure that the property description states clearly that there are stairs leading to the bedrooms and bathroom. We are concerned that you were insured that the property was on one level and this will be investigated, as the photographs should show that it is a cottage on two levels and not a single level unit. We apologise that we were unable to assist you sooner than two hours after you reported your concerns. We had hoped that we had addressed the issues of concern, as our ‘maintenance man’ had been reporting back to us on a regular basis and he was touched that you had rewarded him for his efforts. Deepest apologies and thank you for your valued feedback. Property Owner
