    Oh my days. I’m so sorry this was your experience. I’d be grateful to know what problem you had with the shower so that we can get this fixed. We can’t work out what is wrong with it. Sorry to have missed your calls at 12.30am and 8am on Saturday morning. Glad to hear that you worked out how to use the TV yourselves after all. Again, really sorry that this was your experience although incredibly pleased to know that this is nothing like the feedback we usually receive from our other lovely guests. The people who left before you left us a box of chocolates! Property Owner
