The hot tub had been lit but it was cold . We informed Mandy she got back to us then we did what she said , it was still cold , we didnât use hot tub for two days so we were a bit disappointed . The main thing we would say we werenât greeted on arrival and no presents when we left . The cats were lovely especially the white and grey one .
