The location

− The Arum family unit is in a bad state and should be closed/condemned. It had black mould over the entire ceiling in the passage, and main bedroom. The lounge area also had black mould on the archway. No extra blankets nor heaters. The one electric blanket only worked on the top part of it. The trapdoor in the passage way in Suite 1 was left open the entire night and caused the room to be freezing cold. No heaters, but a fire place that did not draw well hence filling the entire room with smoke. The last morning there there was no water in the hot water system. The carpets are extremely dirty, and the walls behind the curtains are mouldy and damp. Our first night there we had supper in the restaurant and waited 2 hours for our food even although there were only 2 small tables before us., and we had a child with us who needed to eat. On checking out I spoke to the receptionist about the above issues and all she said was that she would tell the manager. As far as we are concerned the hotel should be closed down until the mould issue and dampness is sorted out.
