We never met him directly, I have to be careful what I say to protect us here, but 4 years ago we took on a hotel he owned as managers. We walked into a death trap, the hotel had 3 floors and no fire safety at all. We brought up our concerns over and over and was fobbed off so we got in touch with the fire service directly and they came out and promptly closed 2 floors down and turffed out 16 rooms of holiday makers at around 11pm, we was speaking to him on the phone keeping him upto date and he asked to speak to the fire officer's. He told them that the hotel had been like that for a very long time ( he'd not owned it for very long at this stage) so a few more weeks wouldn't make much difference. The fire offices couldn't believe what he was saying.

The hotel had no shower power, no internet, no dining room or food, no parking, you wasn't allowed to drink alcohol in the hotel. The rooms was filthy.(We turned them around) We worked from 7am until 11pm.without a day off week in week out. It was awful. And that was just the first hotel we worked at!
I feel so sorry for the staff at poorly run places/places with tit policies etc because they're the ones who have to deal with the customers.

I hope you've ended up somewhere nicer!

Thank you. We was young and got caught up in the excitement of the living at the seaside. We are now out of there after 5 months that felt like 5 years and much happier now.

I'm so sorry yous had to deal with that, it must have been so chaotic. I'm glad yous have found peace and are away from him. He was 100% a game player last week.

He’s not a game-player he’s a cheat; the term ‘game-player’ implies you are involved in a sporting activity where an element of competition is always acceptable, nothing sporting about him 🤢

Sorry, that's what I meant. I meant he was playing petty mind games and underpaying to try and win. He definitely is a cheat though.

Oh yes.. he’s definitely a cheat. Many of the contestants we don’t like come under the game-playing tag, ie they’re picky and want to win but nothing too sinister, as soon as the week’s over I’ve forgotten all about them 😉. ..this guy is totally beyond that, what we read on here this morning just confirms that.
His wife ‘the singing dentist’ isn’t that much better, made sure we all got to hear her voice, sensible enough to disappear on the last day though 🤫

I cannot understand how you can rate 10 for a breakfast when it’s just one the establishment recommended. It’s bad enough when they supply the ingredients and you have to cook it yourself but these hosts didn’t even do that. And then they were thrilled with the score!

I am torn on the single occupancy thing as you don't need two extra pillows, extra towels, cups etc so why moan? But being charged room rate for two also feels unfair, though bedding, staff cleaning cost/ room set up will be the same as double occupancy. Back to repeats next week.

I watched this week's Payment Day and that Alicia woman really pissed me off. The way she spoke to everyone was patronising and rude. I can understand her point about the value for a double occupancy room but there was no need to be so abrupt and Karen-like about it. Glad Ashby's won this week, their place looked nice.

It was obvious what she was going to be like when her first piece to camera was words to the effect of “I tell it like it is.”
She can dish it out but can’t take it.

Tbh The Dog pub was way overpriced. £360? 😮

If Alicia said she wasn’t getting a double occupancy value then she should’ve paid half the money but she paid much less than that.

I would be pissed at having to supply my breakfast I also don't like when they provide and you have to cook but like I said before I wouldn't stay there

Horrible woman who was totally looking for a stick to beat the boys at the Dog Inn with, bet she was highly delighted when she discovered she only had enough towels for one. I have to admit when I saw her room judging by its size and how much less it cost than the rooms the other contestants were staying in I thought it was a single room, however I do accept it is sold as a double so yes, she had a point; but what a drama she made of it, if she was so upset why on earth did she not call them to the room🤔. Irrespective of the foregoing is the lack of a towel or two enough to merit such a huge deduction, of course it isn’t, even paying half-price I don’t find it acceptable, she got fewer towels she didn’t get half a room! 25% off is about right IMO.
In summary: If she expects folks will be coming in their droves to pay to stay with her she is in for a rude awakening, there probably is a market for her B&B which is a decent price in a good area but who would want to be anywhere near her😳
