Whilst I often watch this programme unfortunately virtually all the B&B's just do not take criticism well & they all think that they have the best place for a stay, few can cook a simple breakfast to everyone's liking, some of the accommodation charges are ridiculously high even whilst they think there prices are competitive...doh!
I've stayed in many places over one to two nights, some of which I would not choose to stay in again, the worst (I'm not going to state here) was really disgusting, owned by a big brand name to, dirty & stained all over the room! Whilst the program has highlighted the odd place where I would choose to stay I do find it annoying that they visit Blackpool so often (personally I don't like the town) it has nothing to offer me I'm afraid.
4 in a bed is entertaining but has its limits, I wonder how many of those owners actually act on the criticisms after watching themselves on the individual episodes some of them need to get out of their bubbles, it may be a competition but many play a game just to try & win, marking down or paying less than the going rate and not really backing-up some of their reasonings/excuses.
It's often highlighted that those owning a clamping site need to do far more if they should wish to charge the prices that they do for an overnight stay (you could fly to another country for some of there 'rates)
Personally I never choose to stay in someone else's house, more often than not it would be a pub type of accommodation or guest house type. Charging extra for a breakfast takes away the meaning of what the programme is partly about...grrr. I have actually seen a couple of owners on the show that actually used to live in my area but I would call that 'a claim to fame' lol. The idea of this 'reality type programme is quite a good one for several insight reasons of course.
I think that that is all I have to say on this review but this form keeps telling me it requires more words ffs.
