Came back from a lovely self catering holiday in a cottage
Night before leaving cleaned the place thoroughly. Mopped all floors. Hoovered the rug. Washed and dried all towels we'd used.
Saturday morning just before leaving I straightened a chair and it knocked over a vase. And smashed it.
I'd no idea how much it was worth so left a note (I thought) swept up the bits and popped them in the bin.
Lady phoned me today (cottage owner) did I know anything about a missing vase. Said I'd left a note but apparently it wasn't there?
She said the vase was 15 years old and expensive £200 when bought new. She would take £100 as a replacement amount.
She asked if I used the hoover I said yes she said when the cleaner came to use it it wasn't working it was only a month old. I said it was working fine when I used it and it was.
Also she said some of the cleaning items were missing from the cottage (i used their bleach and disinfectant) and also there were no loo rolls left in the house or kitchen rolls. I used my own kitchen rolls and loo rolls.
She said she was aware that we had damage insurance. I was going to send her the money for the vase but am going to hold fire until I've spoken to the insurance company.
fed up feel like I can't have done much more than I did?
