This sadden me greatly.

I also show my guests where to find the first aid kit, and the instructions for the various appliances. We are inspected by Visit England and they appreciate the various notices such as do not put cloths on the storage radiators - mind the steps on the back door, how to open the windows and lock the doors. The camper van was not part of the booking made by Mr Smith at the time I was not informed that he was not coming to stay . The booking for was for 2 adults and 2 children. His daughter, husband and two small children came & were delightful and I was very pleased to tell them about the farm and what they might see. I was not aware that his daughter would be leaving early and leaving the two people in the camper van who were not part of the booking as arranged; I had no objection to the parking of two vehicles as there is a good parking area. We are not in the caravan & camping business. I was not asked if electricity via a long cable hanging out of the bedroom window could be connected to the van - for health and safely reasons it was not safe with young children. Yes the windows were left open at a time when we had dreadful stormy weather further up the dale stone walls had been washed away. At the end of the visit washing up was precariously stacked on the rack not put away and dishes left soaking. the glass was broken unbeknown by me. We do carefully check the bungalow between lets making sure all cupboards shelves and drawers are clean and tidy. Yes we took 10 hours to insure the bungalow was as found; normally we take 3 or 4 hours depending on the number of guests and number of bedrooms used.
