I can't find the picture (it might have been show onscreen?) but the entrance to the fully enclosed courtyard was a pair of large metal gates. (Some rooms do have sash windows)

It was nice to see that his place was 'disability friendly' throughout the pub/accommodation.

Yes I'm the owner of the B&B and if someone have some questions about I have all the pleasure to answer as I got all recorded in my mind and on my phone all conversations live and all moments filmed on my phone 😉 I'm regret for only one point I've done forced in ( Golden Fleece ) we was not fair but I can explain all .
the program and only 10% was showed unfortunately I was expecting much more things on tv after two weeks recording the program

Melinda and her friend were the only ones to come across badly! Everyone else was OK.

I've looked at all these - thanks, ewoodie! - and I still can't work out what he actually does. It seems to be a case of Jack of all trades, master of none.

Dont understand half of that message :

Seems to be - will do anything for money without any skills whatsoever.

Yes, and offering no reasons whatsoever for employing him, other than that he considers himself a good bloke.

I'd like to ask you what do you want me to see in a woman? outer beauty???i'm tired fake beauty already had several models in my hands when I was aged 25/30 now give much more value to the inner beauty of a woman ... Some people like beauty face full of make ups and branded clothes and full of vanity and we can have all what we want , do what we want and when we want , why ? Because we work a lot to have good quality live together without be show off hope you understand my point of view as I'm very friendly person and respectful and always happy with my life

I think you need to join a dating website.

I was just trying to work out what the post meant and what the flippity flip it has to do with 4iaB!

It was all gobbly gook to me and clearly NOT someone who owns a B and B.....

I just ask the question to who ask me what I saw on Eileen and is the second time I see the question ? because I'm more young then Eileen is that the reason ?
and the truth is that I am owner of the b & b
find dating website ? can u tell me for what ?

tell me what u not understand and I try to explain me better

Well done on rising above such an unwarranted, derogatory comment and giving an excellent reply that will probably go over the original posters head. It's just a pity you were put in the position in the first place.




The guy is responding to a totally uncalled for insult aimed at his wife earlier in the thread. and doing so in his second language. Keep up the warm welcome though.

is actually the first time I am using this forum, I have no idea where and as per the comments, but politely answer the questions I need to answer, nothing more and thank you to all who understand my answers and questions I know because I'm Portuguese sometimes I put the words in opposite side as I speak in Portuguese , sorry about that

Manny

I liked your BnB and would happily stay there if I was visiting the area - you were a well deserved runner up!

As you say - you and Eileen were a bit silly with your marks and comments at the Golden Fleece, but otherwise spot on with the other places.

Welcome to the forum, and hope your Achilles' tendon has recovered.

hello First I must thank you for the kind words
it's true because I only realized the punctuation that we gave the golden fleece when I returned to see the images on television and when we are under great psychological pressure it becomes difficult to follow our feelings ,when we were being interrogated if we wanted to get back at the b & b, logically yes 100% sure but it was told that for writing on the feedback we had spiders walking on the bedroom ceiling and cobwebs and have found other flaws in cleaning the room, which in fact were minimal, how it was possible to us to want to come back? and we responded at the time that room certainly would not want to stay but in another obviously yes,because those little flaws were negligible for ordinary people like us and never would give any importance, but the program forced us to mention all that had been observed by cameras, but nothing has been shown in fact,silvia and robert also mentioned a small crack in the ceiling of our bathroom due to the vapors of hot water , and we never said it was a pathetic observation, I just admitted it was true and that it would rectify soon as it was possible
but as you guys all saw, they not liked when we mentioned the lack of paint in the skarting board behind the bed ))
never in my life that I was housed in hotels went to check ink failure or other anomalies like these but the program was to mention all that was found in bad conditions
I hope you have understood me fully

It was me that mentioned Eileen asking what you saw in her. I did not talk about her looks that wouldn't be fair or nice, I said she was hard hearted. I thought she was very unfair with the low score for cleanliness at The Golden Fleece. I don't expect you to see anything in a woman. I'm glad you and Eileen are happy together both in your work and private life. I'm sorry if I offended you it was never my intention as you seem a nice bloke.

Hiya Manny

It's really good of you to come here and face a barrage of questions from fans of the show - you're a brave man indeed

I thought your place was nice but Eileen's deep-fried breakfasts did raise an eyebrow or two

However, if it's good enough for Wetherspoons, it's good enough for your customers and besides, Eileen's plates weren't swimming in oil like the breakfasts from the so-called chef at the Golden Fleece were they?

I thought you did well but you unfairly marked down regarding the bit of paint missing from the skirting board, in my opinion. That didn't affect the overall cleanliness of the room and it's not as though it's even a normal thing to do really - pulling a bed away from a wall.

Congratulations on coming 2nd place and enjoy the forum

PS - hope your foot is better!

Hello Forte42 and welcome to DS.

As a general comment, I'm sure the production team want you to mention and write down every room 'defect' you find as you examine a room but do they (try to) force you to mark down or underpay? Do they tell you to pull out the bed to look at the wall? If so, could you have said no? Criticising small marks or missing paint on skirting boards is really absurd and just makes the competitor look petty.

However, I've just re-read your post above and see that you said:

If I understand you correctly, the production team applied pressure to persuade you to say NO you would not go back... is that what happened?

If you have time (and inclination ) to say, I'd be interested to know:

Had you seen Four in a Bed before you went on it and did you understand how a property (and its owners) might be misrepresented?

Do you feel you - and the other participants during your week - were represented fairly or did you think that the edited version was biased in any way?

Do all owners choose which guest goes into which room or do the production team have any say in that decision?

Now that you have been on Four in a Bed and you have seen 'your' week, do you think you made the right decision to appear?

Ayuda House seems to have two websites.
On one of them, this room is shown as being available for part of the year.

I expect anyone staying there might have a thing or two to say about there being no ventilation unless you open the French doors, so Melinda has no right to criticise her room at Connie's while she offers the same.

I also can't believe the good reviews Melinda has on TA. Though there are a few comments such as she had a shower and didn't clean it out afterwards before the guest used it.

And it sounds as if her shower isn't perfect.

Morning Manny & Eileen, i thought you should have come joint first basically as for me your place was the best for a good quality budget BnB along with The Bubble which is what the show is supposed to be about. Sadly The Golden Fleece i loved but the breakfast was a serious no no for me.

However, I did go off you and Eileen after the petty marks at the Fleece, but you redeemed yourself at The Bubble.

BUT now you have explained why makes sense. I have met now several people who have been on the show, and they all regret it, as they felt pressurised and coerced into making silly comments to cause problems within the group. What your saying basically is YES you would have stayed again, but at the time not in the particular room. We have said this ourselves on here, they need to change the YES/NO as its unfair, as most people like the places, but not necessarily the room they are in at the time.

This makes a sour taste for me and I am not inclined to watch it again to be honest.

I thought the 3 places were all excellent value, but I am still SHOCKED at the state of the breakfast at the Golden Fleece, but i expect it is more down to filming and hanging about and then editing.

I thought Eileens remarks on the room at Ayuda house were the truth and you both were not up for revenge. Melinda sadly needs to get her place cleaned out, i bet it was worse then we actually saw.

Anyway, I liked your place, well i liked all 3 they all had good points.

Hope your leg is improving or improved. I love Greek dancing its great fun, and yes can be a tad dangerous too especially if one has had too many Ouzo lol.

I would be interested in knowing if you both wish you hadnt bothered in the first place.

Good luck in the future.

Morning Manny you are talking about my quote?

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.

I was talking about Eileen and yourself the room at AYUDA house being in a mess and i would not have stayed in it either. NOT your rooms in your BnB.

Sorry BG and TH, I have to agree. The comments were uncalled for.




I gathered that was what you meant and tried to explain to Manny. English is his second language!

While we have Manny here, it would be good to find out some information about the filming and how much influence the production crew have on the contestants and the outcomes.

Yes I agree.
