DYING TOT SNUB AT LOCH HOTEL

Family stunned as staff member refuses use of plug socket for nebuliser

A LUXURY hotel has issued an apology after refusing to help a terminally ill baby at its premises.

Duck Bay Hotel, on the banks of Loch Lomond, was blasted after denying three-month-old Charlie the chance to use a nebuliser — a device that turns a liquid containing medication into a fine mist to breathe in.

Charlie, who lives with a tracheostomy, is staying with his parents at Robin House Children's Hospice in nearby Balloch.

His parents, from Edinburgh, had decided to take the tot to the popular lochside venue for family time and spent £40 on coffee and cakes.
