Last week had been one of the most disappointing we’ve had at Riverside View.
A group booked our holiday home for the maximum permitted occupancy, then brought additional guests to stay, breaching our booking terms and voiding our insurance. We chose to let them remain until checkout rather than asking them to leave late in the evening, as we didn’t want to leave families stranded.
during their stay, 4 of the teens staying there chose to vandalise a family business across the river. The matter has been reported to the police.
What has upset us most is not only the lack of any apology, but also receiving a negative review criticising our staff and value for money, despite the circumstances. We always go above and beyond for our guests, and the vast majority treat our home with the same respect we show them.
We’re sharing this simply as a reminder that holiday homes are someone’s property, someone’s livelihood, and often part of a local community. Please respect the house rules, respect your neighbours, and remember that your actions can have consequences far beyond your stay.
To all of the wonderful guests we’ve welcomed over the years—thank you. Your kindness and respect are the reason we love hosting, and we won’t let one disappointing experience change that.
