A. Things started to go wrong at about 1.30 that night. We were suddlenly woken by people shouting and singing in the room next door. My husband went to knock on the door but there was no answer.

B. The next morning, we were exhausted. I decided to take a bath to relax, but there was no hot water in the taps, and there was no shower at all. We decided to go for breakfast . We had rubbery eggs on toast, and cold coffee. Then I saw a mouse running out of the kitchen!

C. A few weeks ago, my husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a night away. My sister had been to a country hotel nearby a few weeks before, and she hadn't stopped talking about how amazing it was. She agreed to babysit our two gisrls for the night, and I booked us a room for the folllowing weekend.

D. I'd been worrying about leaving the girls behind, but as soon as I saw the gorgeous 18th century hotel, I forgot my worries. Our bedroom was the most beautiful room I'd ever been in, with a four-poster bed, a luxurious red carpet, and stunning views over the gardens.

E. Suddenly, the girl from reception appeared at our table. As we started to tell her what had happened in the nigh, she said that a complaint had been made about us. Apparently, we'd been knocking loudly on another guest's door in the night. She told us that if we behaved so aggressively again, she would call the police.

F. Next, he tried to find someonw who worked at the hotel, but the shouting and singing continued for hours. At about 5 00 am we finally managed to drop off.

G. We couldn't wait to leave. Two hours later, I was sitting on my sofa, telling my sister what I thought of her recommendation. It had been the worst holiday of my life!

H. The sun was shining, and we had a lovely afternoon strolling in the gardens. Then it was time for dinner. The food wasn't the best I'd ever had - the meat was thugh and the vegetable were a bit tasteless- But I didn't mind.

Great Job!
