How the hell was it Eileen's fault that Melinda was too damn stupid to operate the shower even after being shown how to?! £10 underpayment because she's dumb! And why did Eileen accept that as if it was her fault!

I can't believe Melinda dared to argue about the cleanliness of her place, and her friend is defending her. And then she announces she's not a cleaner! And thinks it isn't her fault that her rooms were underpaid. I hope she watched the show and saw what we saw. Although I doubt it.

If Eileen then tried the shower a while later when no one else was using water then it would appear there was no problem. Melinda may well have had a dysfunctional relationship with the shower controls but as viewers we can't be sure there wasn't genuinely a problem earlier in the evening that Eileen was able to successfully gloss over. I thought Melinda was reasonable in her concerns about the security at Bubbles. The 'private courtyard' only looked to have a wooden panel fence of about 2m (or thereabouts) so I'd not be confident in leaving a ground floor door open while I was asleep. There are indeed bars that can be fitted to French doors to fix them slightly ajar - if they are the type we had in the UK, they only prevent the doors from blowing open... they are in no way secure if someone decided to apply force. In any event, a thoughtful host would point out this security feature to guests - especially a solo female guest - and Connie clearly didn't. |

How can you find a tiny square of paper in a bin and maintain that it hadn't been emptied? Not even 'hadn't been emptied properly.' Anyone could be forgiven for missing that - it clearly stuck to the corner of bin liner, which was otherwise as clean as a whistle. And then when you realise that she presides over a filthy hole, you just know she's off her trolley. She shouldn't be anywhere near the hospitality business with her personality and unwillingness to accept responsibility and constructive criticism. |

It is possible that, depending on the plumbing and shower type / fittings at Eileen's gaff, the shower doesn't maintain a steady temperature if other people are showering / running baths simultaneously. Or - again depending on the boiler and plumbing - if someone had already used all the hot water.

Shame she didn't cast her hypercritical eye around that manky house of hers. |

She could of course have used the room stat to control the temperature or what that beyond her capabilities too?
I don't like Melinda and think she is a bad example of the hostility industry but I don't think it's fair to make assumptions like that. If it's a hot day, unless there's aircon, a room stat can't do much in the way of cooling a room whereas opening a window in the evening might. |

But we don't know what there was in the way of a room stat. I don't like Melinda and think she is a bad example of the hostility industry but I don't think it's fair to make assumptions like that - not least because that period might have been very warm and there may have been no heating to turn off. Then, unless there's some form of aircon, a room stat doesn't do much in the way of cooling a room whereas opening a window in the evening might.

No... it's what I generally call it.
Of course, I should have said she's a good example of the hostility industry...

Melinda would have hated staying at the Italian hotel I stayed in last summer, not only were there only doors that opened onto the "private gardens" but those gardens faced the road and were only surrounded by knee high hedges. I still slept with my doors wide open. My snoring would have put anyone off from trying to break in anyway

I thought that Connie meant that his door could be left opened like this http://www.blueskywindows.com.au/ufi...n_Windows1.jpg when he described the ajar method.
)Tilt-turn windows are commonly used in mainland Europe but when we have British guests, we normally need to explain how the mechanism operates. They're not used for doors so much partly for weight reasons (an exterior-quality double-glazed door is quite heavy at the pivot point when it flops inwards) but also because of the locking mechanism. If that's what Connie has installed on full-size doors, he should definitely make sure guests understand how they work. I thought he was just describing a simpler horizontal bar fitting... but could well be wrong. |

I've got one of those tilty-turn doors to my conservatory. Not that I knew it when I first moved in - one day I turned the handle the "wrong way" and the door fell in on me!
![]() I don't think thats what Connie meant though - I'm sure its some sort of locking system that means the door can be locked ajar - like a lot of double glazed windows. Lets face it - if Melinda hadn't found the door to moan about it would've been something, anything, else. |

Melinda can really give it out but not take it and is that bloke her heavy man for if there is trouble? He is a spare part.
As a member of the respected Michelin Guide, and our extensive knowledge of the hospitality sector, we ensure establishments are aware of any failing standards which guests are more critical of in regard to service, cleanliness, and food & beverage quality. We identify weaknesses prior to your guests placing their comments on TripAdvisor when it is too late as the damage has been done. Guests are "voting with their pockets" and expect more value for their hard-earned money. I think he is as deluded as Melinda to be honest. There was NOTHING that wrong in her rooms that a good cleaner couldnt have sorted out in a few hours less probably. He did Melinda no favours. Quote:
And she runs it on her own don't cha know .... like thousands of others.

So she admits she has never had a full B&B.

Mr "Hotel Inspector" should be ashamed of himself, he should have used his "expertise" to go over that B&B and identify the issues. Not have a go at others who had justified complaints.

![]() She's the epitome of hypocrisy - she expected standards from others that she couldn't maintain at her own establishment then cried 'revenge' when she got a bit of reciprocity. Ghastly bint ![]() Quote:

Well the best BnB won for me. I think North Street should have come second for being a good quality budget hotel. I would have voted for the Fleece BUT unforgivable the breakfast was disgusting. Its supposed to be a BED n BREAKFAST, they got a nice bed, but the BREAKFAST was inedible. Melinda coming last was no surprise to any of us. She set herself up for a fall sadly. I think she needs to come out of the BnB business, and perhaps just rent her nice room out with the ensuite. Having a BnB is hard work. IF that Laird Stewart was there to support her professionally as per his business web site states, then I would ask for my money back. I think Connie was the best for me and he did come over genuine, regardless of what some people say, because on camera he did stick up for Melinda, and even last night said that finding those faults didnt sit well, but you have to say them as otherwise how will people learn. Melinda was more then quick enough to complain herself, now she needs to learn by it. So thats it FOLKS for another year. I hope the format changes, otherwise i think they will loose a lot of viewers. Its Couples Come Dine With Me, next week i like that. Sorry my post is so long but then I did warn you, you have to learn with the monsters you create, and by showing me how to multi quote... well nuff said.... ![]() Onwards and upwards, if we dont meet again HAVE A LOVELY XMAS AND A GREAT NEW YEAR............and my final word on the matter is LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, nah nah nah nah...

Its even worse to find he runs a company teaching hospitality etc. Jeez even worse for me. I could do a better job. I thought he was UNFORGIVABLE to ask Eileen if she was scoring low for revenge. It goes to show how he is blinded so much by Melindas personality he couldn't see the mess the place was in...... I think if i had been in Eileens room i would have made worse comments. The place was a mess. SIMPLES. She got cut down for size. Shame really as I do think she was swept up on the tide of producers manipulations. I am hoping she learns by it. It's her personality, that you alluded to, that got her into trouble. She's deluded in terms of what she expects from others versus what she herself provides and she was incompetent in terms of putting a full English in front of 5 people. It's a very easy thing to do and EVERYTHING can be cooked ahead of time apart from the eggs which you cook to order. Hardly a 10 course degustation and not beyond the wit of man. Quote:

Eileen turned out to be a lot fairer than we thought she would. Are you her partner? |
