Well it woudnt be, i wasnt actually saying that. How many people who rent out a caravan or cottages in the busy season clean the tops of cupboards....its not important, i would much rather have clean fridge etc and bathroom.

If they're not all thinking along similar lines and using the same criteria the payments are going to be all over the place, surely?”

Interesting point! And applicable on every 4IAB! How do they calculate what they pay when the accommodation is for 6 and there are only 2 people at most?

It'll be interesting.
It's supposed to be 'Value for Money'
Well, if you have the funds available, then I don't think £48 per night is a good spend on Park Farm's tents.
Six times it uses the word 'luxury' on the front page of their website. It also talks about 'glamping'
£48 is not a lot of money, especially when split between a family, but to me they certainly don't offer ever a hint of luxury. What they have there is the most basic provision for camping and I'd rather put the £48 towards something else.
If people knock a couple of quid off Derek's charges then the way the totals are calculated, that's going to be a bigger percentage than a fiver off the more expensive venues.
On the other hand, over a couple of hundred a night they run the risk of much bigger underpayments.”

Value for money is very subjective. For me, none of this week's places have been luxury. A tent in a field is not luxury. The lodges were nice but for that sort of money, I'd rather go to Centre Parks. The accommodation there is designed so that you never really see your neighbours.

Nor for me.
My ghast is flabbered that they think they're selling luxury or 'glamorous' camping at Park Farm, or indeed any of the other properties this week. However, I think we do have to concede that some forms of camping offer a lot more in the way of comfort than others. I suppose a private toilet within your own pitch is a lot more luxurious than a trek across a field to a communal block and that's not the half of it.
Layer Marney offered a lot of nice touches and against their competition I think they could say they were offering luxury and relative privacy for campers. but still not for me I'm afraid.
I'm really interested to hear the comments and see how it all pans out later today.
Why not put a futon bed in there instead of a camp bed? Doubt children find them comfortable either.

Me too, far too much for a tent, £50 - £60 would be more realistic.

Thankfully they didn't show it in the recaps.
Is he trying to say that his clients are too dirty for cotton covered mattresses?
p.s. Hospital beds are some of the comfiest I have slept in.

Looks like Derek is going to win unless someone over pays one of the others which is highly unlikely in Dereks case.
£48 a night for a tent, its about the same as a comfortable room at a travel lodge , you would really need to be a huge fan of camping to pay that, i doubt back packers would find that value for money either

Looks like he will
Bet he has underpaid the two remaining couples.
Amber's pricing and comment is just nuts. One comfy double bed and then they usually have four children on those tiny camp efforts.
I really don't think so.
I really don't think so.
