Friendly Acres Not A Place For Me

We arrived shortly after our daughter, our 2 granddaughters and their great grandmother. Unbeknownst to us, we surpassed the quota they considered a family. Four individuals seems to be the number that is deemed a family unit. Seems ridiculous that a number is given to define a family. There was plenty of room in a cottage that sleeps 6 for us. There would be a $10 a day fee for the extra individuals. Our daughter was given verbal confirmation that we would not be charged this fee. However, this was not observed by the owners. After various forms of discussion and agreeing to pay the $10 a day surcharge for 3 adult members of our family, we were informed that our 4 week rental would be terminated after the first week. This was mind blowing. As for the cottage itself: I did not expect the Taj Mahal but I was expecting a clean cottage. The cottage was old and very dated. Bathroom had mold. There were spider webs along the windows and the paneling was detaching from the studs.
