To think the hotel were out of order with valentines stay/room?

😂😂😂😂 I mean if you can’t use the toilet in front of each other then.. Iv got news.. the relationship isn’t for you. As adults this is ridiculous.

Why on Earth would they watch, ffs...? Just look away or something. Unless you're double incontinent, or bleeding torrentially, how many times are you really going to be busy in the loo?

Quite, it wouldn't bother us but what numpty of an architect thinks a glass door to the bog is acceptable? If people don't mind they have the chooce to.leave the door open, if they do the door needs to be solid and closeable.

In my opinion, they did not provide an adequate en-suite and I'd have expected a 50% refund, voucher for another stay or a free dinner with drinks. Anything else is shit.

I've been with my DP 36 years. I was a nurse for 36 years. I am not easily embarrassed.
DP and I have seen each other use the loo many times, but even we draw the line at public bottom wiping 😂
What on earth is the benefit of these rooms?
I wouldn't go so far as using the loo in reception. Could you not both avert your eyes/put your head under the blanket /look out of the window/read a book?
The response from reception/management was appalling.
I'd put a complaint in writing and leave an appropriate review.

Great for you but we are talking about a first weekend away. Not being married for 20 years.

Watching your other half take a dump on valentines… whoever said romance was dead ay! 😂
It’s a no from me. Some things are best kept private.

These gimmicky hotels are awful...they seem to be everywhere in the UK! Just shows how cheap and crass everything has become here.

You should have demanded a full refund.

Because they get off on belittling people.

A private bathroom, hope that answers your question. I’m guessing you’ve figured out the daylight issue by now. 😊

She should get a refund because the product they were supplying her with was not as described. Duh.

Shhh this was the only comment they could think of to belittle OP and you’re ruining it!

Why’s everyone acting like it’s ok for OPs romantic weekend (that I imagine wasn’t cheap) to be ruined by a hotel’s dodgy technology and badly planned design that thinks making people shit in full vision of their companions Is acceptable?

Totally agree, 36 years together here and no thanks!

My husbands seen this too. He’s also cleaned up after 5 miscarriages. He’s seen everything there is to see. I still wouldn’t have wanted to shit and piss in front of him on our first romantic night away.

@Letthembewrong I agree with you. My DH has helped me through all sorts of illnesses, and three labours, and seen me at my absolutely worst. If I have a choice, I'm absolutely not choosing to use the toilet in front of him. And I'd find it very humiliating not to have the choice.

why not do this blah blah blah?
How about the hotel provides hay they’ve said they’re going to provide? I’d hate the roll tbh and would’ve left.
First tile of being away together and you’re supposed to bare all?!

I am sorry you have been through that but you have no idea what I have been through myself or with my partner, ive been seriously unwell too and my partner had to wipe my bottom for 3 weeks as I was basically disabled. Now I am well, I need privacy for going to the toilet and would really struggle without it

What’s ridiculous is expecting people to still pay for a room where you have to watch each other have a shite because of a design fault

Aside from couples who might not care (I would), hotel rooms aren’t just for couples. Are you telling me you’d be happy to be able to see your mate or nan having a poo in your peripheral vision?

@Catcooper25uk I'm so sorry to hear that your child died.

@Catcooper25uki feel that you are missing the point.

Most of us will have had to go through things where we didn’t have much dignity. Whether that’s through illness, childbirth or whatever else. Often there is no other choice with these things.

That doesn’t mean that we aren’t perfectly reasonable to want privacy to go to the toilet.

If anything, for me having been through all of those things has only made me appreciate privacy even more.

People don’t pay lots of money to go to a nice hotel to not even have a bathroom door.

no she isn’t!

I’ve lived with my OH almost 10 years and not a chance in hell I’m shitting or pissing in front of him.

That's fair enough but the OP still had a bit of an over reaction in my opinion. What did she want the outcome to be seeing as the hotel was fully booked and no other rooms spare? The OP's options are to stay put and the hotel should offer some form of compensation which at the time they did they offered free drinks vouchers obviously the OP wasn't happy with that. The other option for OP was try and see if they can get lucky and see if any other hotels in the area have any rooms free. There was no need for a big drama and making a song and dance about it. Lastly if the OP would have read all the the reviews and not just the shiny new ones at the top she could have then know upfront about this problem by the sounds of it seeing as she has found a review to do with this problem of only they'd have seen this before booking.

I have been married for 20 years. At home, everything goes, and we have seen EVERYTHING there is to see. However, in a fledgling relationship, specifically the first hotel stay, ESPECIALLY on Valentine’s Day, no. Absolutely not.

So you let that ruin your first night together .......I do get it but surely you could have said please turn the other way so I can use the toilet if that was your concern.......showering or bathing together would have been romantic

Op

here is an AI complaint letter for the matter, I had no idea it didn't meet the consumer act? is that correct?

[Your Address]
[Your Phone Number/Email]
[Date]
[Hotel Manager's Name (if known, otherwise "Hotel Manager")]
[Hotel Name]
[Hotel Address]
Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Room [Number] – Privacy and Maintenance Issues
Dear [Manager's Name or Sir/Madam],
I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the accommodation provided during my stay from [Check-in Date] to [Check-out Date] in room [Number].
Specifically, the frosted glass partition/door in the bathroom did not function as intended. Instead of providing the necessary privacy, the glass remained [transparent / insufficiently opaque / clear at the bottom], which resulted in a significant and uncomfortable invasion of privacy for the duration of the stay.
This issue was reported to [Staff Name] at the front desk on [Date/Time], but [it was not rectified / no alternative room was provided]. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, services must be provided with reasonable care and skill. A bathroom that lacks basic visual privacy fails to meet the standard of quality reasonably expected from a hotel of your caliber.
The lack of privacy caused considerable [distress / embarrassment / inconvenience] to my [family/partner/self], detracting from the enjoyment of our stay.
To resolve this matter, I am seeking [choose one: a partial refund of XX% / a voucher for a future stay / a full refund for one night] as compensation for the substandard facilities.
I look forward to your response and a proposed resolution within 14 days.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Signature]
[Your Printed Name]
