I had a week’s holiday to use and I wanted to spend it in the best hotel I could find. That was why I chose The Haven. Set in a country park, I thought I would be able to escape the problems and pressures of __41__ life. But just twenty-four hours after arriving there, my wife and I experienced problems with the restaurant, the service and the __42__.

We should have left and returned to our __43__ when we saw two policemen walking outside the hotel, __44__ the building. One of them showed us how our room could be __45__ in through the windows. It seems that the hotel has no __46__ on the windows. Although we were a little worried, our concerns were __47__ when we believed a good-sized bed, a flat-screen TV, a spa bath and more suggested a comfortable stay.

Things started to go from bad to worse the following morning when I found the restaurant only served __48__ meals. I was disappointed and upset: six days of rabbit food and no steak and chips? What had I let myself in for? We should have been told about the food before we __49__. I ordered my breakfast against my will __50__, but I had to wait forty-five minutes for it to arrive. This was not the __51__ I expected.

That afternoon, when we returned from a tour around a village nearby, we found that nearly £200 had been stolen from our room. The Haven __52__ to refund us the money. They claimed that they could not be responsible for any loss if our __53__ was not locked.

My holiday was then a total __54__; I thought a “haven” was supposed to be a quiet, peaceful place. __55__ I have experienced more stress and worry in that one day than I usually do working in the office for a week.
