British family awarded thousands over mouldy hotel and disappointing croissants A British family has been awarded thousands after discovering stale croissants and mould in their hotel in France.
Damen Bennion, 52, and his wife, Jane, 49, claimed they “went home miserable” from a luxury French hotel after they were served disappointing pastries and a room that smelt.
The couple - who had been looking forward to a "gourmet" experience in a four-star setting at Club Med Opio - claim they had an "awful" dinner on the first night of their stay, and this was followed by "stale breakfast pastries" the following morning.
As a result, Damen and Jane decided to keep their family away from the resort during the day and eat evening meal out, only choosing to return to the hotel to sleep, reports The Guardian.
“We told our children on the first night that Daddy would get things sorted, but it wasn’t sorted,” Damen told Central London county court.
