To be p'd off about our holiday rental?

[VayKayShun]

Arrived at our holiday cottage today to discover one of the bedrooms is only accessible through another bedroom. No mention of this in the details when I booked. For various reasons this now means DH and I are in bunk beds having to share a room with DN!

AIBU to think that we should have been made aware of this before booking (especially when this layout really isn’t suitable for our group) and that a bedroom you can only get to through another bedroom is a bit weird?

Any reason why DB and partner can't share with their 2 youngest in the room with 2 bunk beds, DN in the room accessed through the other one and you and DH and your parents in the 2 doubles?

This is what I suggested today and everyone agrees it is a sensible plan. Just hadn't occurred to us until someone on here mentioned it a bit earlier!

So thanks Mumsnet!

Bit late but at least the pic finally worked

Put it in a cooler bag OP....and then, when she wants a bottle, warm it up with water from a flask. Or even water it down with a splash of hot water from a flask; got to be better than what you're doing currently!

But doing all that with no surface but a bed to prepare everything on, when I'd need to put the light on (potentially waking everyone in the room anyway) seems more hassle and probably more dangerous than just going downstairs to do it!

It's not hard...you just put a tray or side table in your room...surely there's one surface? I did it from birth with two of mine rather than go downstairs. I used a lamp.

You could actually just put warmish cow's milk in a thermos flask. It would be fine....probably no need to heat it at all or refrigerate in a thermos. it would be fine overnight surely.

A similar situation happened to us - good friends booked a cottage rental and invited us to share it with them. We were all horrified on arrival to discover that the bathroom was only accessible via the main bedroom, which meant that during the night, my partner and I had to go into our friends' bedroom to use the loo. I have to go several times in the night sometimes and it was really unsatisfactory for us.

No mention of this was made on the rental description. My friend wrote a pointed review.

There isn't a side table. I wasn't exaggerating when I said there was nothing in the room but the beds!

But I'll see if there's a flask about anywhere. However going downstairs to make a bottle isn't really a problem as long as we don't have to keep going through someone else's room to do so

How can they think that is acceptable?! At least there's plenty of toilets in this one
