Two Weeks in Burghead

First night we could not live in property as the central heating was unable to function due to no fuel, house was extremely cold, we moved to Elgin Travelodge. Moved in on second day, the electric was rusty inside and we bought new kettle and toaster. House needs deep clean and decorated. Lots of wires and cables lying around, we did’nt invite grandchildren as cables were too much of a safety risk. The internet broke down due to loose wire. Overall a disaster. We would like some form of rebate as the property fell short of the general standard of your cottages.
