Hi
We are currently staying in France at a place we rented through one of the big UK cottage people
There are there are several issues with it all of which we have mentioned to the owner and none of which are easily fixable
The main one is the pool filtration plant went down after the first 3 days, the main reason we chose this place being the pool
There are some other niggles relating to being in the middle of French countryside like random drops in the water supply which I kind of accept but the major other bugbear is quite literally the flies
There are hundreds of them
Not just outside like eg Thailand but the whole house is infested with blue bottles
The place is best described as shabby chic and is down on its luck with poor windows etc which must be where they are getting in
The family have had enough and I’m at the point of insanity with them
Even keeping all the doors and windows shut not to mention being obsessive with food in the you can’t sit down for a second without flies crawling over your face
Is it worth the hassle of moaning to the agent when I get home and if so to what end?
I haven’t phoned from here as it’s 40p a minute and their website shows no availability for an alternative cottage
Cheers
