A Lighthearted one))

This morning we were looking to book a cottage for our family for this upcoming bank holiday. My husband did send me a link to the one he has spotted.

I did look at it and thought it was lovely and then I have started to read reviews. It was all good, till I saw a review posted by Lucy (I think it’s 6 review from the top down) As I was reading it, my eyes were getting wider and wider😳
I just have pictured the whole situation in my head 😁

I have not booked this cottage in the end and I went for another property. But a part of me now is forever going to be wondering about this mysterious lady Suzanne I'm never going to meet 😁

AIBU not to book it?😅

I tip my hat to Suzanne's 'never complain, never explain' attitude.

JennyForeigner · 15/01/2024 22:12

Passed Out Suzanne is one hell of a title for a novel.

MillicentRogers · 15/01/2024 22:05

I'm sure I've read this on here from the poster who made the review!

This isn't a great thread for suzanne

I don’t know. I think she’s now found her feet.

I like to think that Lucy and her family might have been able to have a laugh about it afterwards. Sounds like a legendary party.

The listing title in the app and mobile version is very clear what the accommodation is: Private room in bed and breakfast in Axmouth, United Kingdom. 4 guests · 2 bedrooms · 3 beds · 2 shared bathrooms. Doesn’t mention entire cottage anywhere. Presuming the desktop version displays different information or something.

Edited

I would imagine she's updated the listing since this was posted last summer.

Have you been out drinking with Suzanne as well? 😂

Sadly no...it seems like they had a blast though. 😂

Teaandtoastedbiscuits · 15/01/2024 21:23

Great nights to be had in Suzannes

This is hilarious 😆

Men just seem to gloss over important details whereas women want the nitty gritty. An ex met his friend for a drink to celebrate the birth of his first child... on his return from his night out I asked my ex for baby details, how was the mum, was he all chuffed at being a dad???...the only answer I got was ' we don't talk about stuff like that'.... I find that baffling !!!

Meanwhile wherever Janet is... its in a better place than duplicitous Sally.

LegoDeathTrap · 15/01/2024 21:06

If you click on the reviews you can see Suzanne’s picture. I feel it adds to the story. I want to book this now without my family, for a solo drinking holiday with Suzanne.

It says ‘entire cottage hosted by Suzanne’ and under the facilities offered it says fridge and coffee maker but the actual kitchen is crossed out.

So you can store your cheese or whatever in there but you can’t cook or even go in the kitchen to make a sandwich.

I’d report it though as it’s very misleading and doesn’t state it clearly enough.

All that money and you’ve still got to go out to a restaurant or cafe for your evening meal.

Clymene · 19/08/2023 19:12

It's listed as an entire cottage. It isn't. I mean, it's patently obvious when you read it but it's still false advertising. It's a B&B

Clymene · 19/08/2023 17:12

You should really report the listing OP. It's not an entire place at all.

It’s very carefully worded. I think many people would miss it, but it is there.

I’d be so furious if I arrived to find her passed out in her own filth. She’s bloody lucky that family were able to find something. They wasted a day of their holiday looking, and I bet it wasn’t as good a price if it was last minute.

When I opened the thread I thought a 'passed out Suzanne' was going to be some sort of extreme Lazy Susan!

Enjoy yerself like Suzanne...unless you have guests.

determinedtomakethiswork · 19/08/2023 16:55

It sounds far more likely that Suzanne is an alcoholic.

dreambeavers · 19/08/2023 16:44

Sounds like Suzanne had an excellent party the night before!

Oh honestly you selfish cahhh 🐮

I wanted to hear all about Suzanne 😆.

Haha, I think the best you can do is to book this cottage and enjoy the full Suzanne experience for yourself, I bet nothing can beat it😅

I can't stop giggling. The women fucked up badly but kind of 'owned it' - well you're here now... Grin

Refunded in full.

Horrible experience for the guests but what a party that must have been!

The whole place was quoted around £730 for 3 nights together with £30 for the cleaning service and just over a £100 Airbnb charge 😬
in the end we have booked a different cottage right on the coast in Somerset via Sykes, I have paid just under 1K, but it’s in a historical and full of character building, 4 bedrooms (we did not need that many, as we are only 4 in the family) so we have invited my dear in-laws to join us😝So it’s a win-win. The only down side, I never get to meet the legendary Suzanne😁

£195 a night for two rooms and sharing the bathrooms with the host? I know this is what Airbnb was originally meant for but it’s a no from me.
