Property 114 By the Sea , Pakefield, Suffolk. On our first night as we sat in the kitchen a mouse scurried across the floor and promptly disappeared behind a fridge/freezer. I contacted the owner the same night. There was no response until the Sunday. (I contacted owner on the Friday.) A mouse friendly trap was left on the doorstep on the Monday. This had no effect. Contacted owner again. They sent plug-in deterrents, which arrived on the Tuesday. On reading instructions it stated that mice activity would increase initially. We had a 5 month old baby with us. We did not use plug ins as the last thing we wanted was to be overrun with vermin. On Wednesday it was suggested that we could leave early. We were due to leave on Friday morning. We stayed because our party had not only travelled a couple of hundred miles to the destination, but the cattery had been booked and paid for and the equipment that had been packed for a young baby was substantial. It was supposed to have been a relaxing break for the new mum. As you can imagine she was very stressed by the presence of mice in the property. Thank god the baby wasn’t crawling. Below is a photo of the result of mice activity at the property during our stay. Mouse scratching was heard from inside the cupboard on a nightly basis and an actual mouse seen on three separate occasions. The owner claimed they had never had mice in the property before. I refute that as there was an established route and a locked cupboard in which the mice congregated.
