People shouldn't open a high quality holiday let when they have no generosity for hosting.

[RatTastic]

Just got back from 24 hours at the soon to be improved holiday home. The hosts had provided for ten of us plus themselves, one loo roll, no bedding, no guest hand towels just their own personal towels.

When they left us home alone for four hours they switched the heating off.

AIBU to think they do not have the generosity of spirit to run a high quality, luxury holiday let.

I agree with the comments , seems to me you were staying with friends in their holiday let for free . If so then why should they provide everything

I doubt the P will be back. Given her comments on the houses's owners (and also in another thread) I think that basically @RatTastic was venting about her BiL, whom she doesn't seem to like very much and about whose character she's making moral judgements.

If the host invited you for a trial run in advance of opening a luxury holiday let, then it would be appropriate to gently point out some improvements they could make i.e. more loo rolls, hand towels, bedding etc. However, it appears they just let a large family group stay for a night over the festive season and didn't invite your opinion. So, on that basis, YABU to criticize the arrangements and to assume that the same arrangements would apply if they were running it as a business.

In my point of view you are entitled and sounds jealous af.
You are there for free, I would also turn my heating off for you!

Do you think your comments are helpful being out here ? If you really want to “help”, put your comments into writing and help your family member to develop a nice “future” business or even better, have a bit of decency and have a nice chat with them about your thoughts and what could be improved.

If it’s not a business just yet, you are there as a favour and should not be so ungrateful honestly.
pack up and leave, you will be doing them a favor love.

@TrufflesForBreakfast £500 fit a turnaround?! How big is your holiday let. I use an agency for a 5 bed, 3 bath property - 6 hours cleaning @ £25ph, £90 laundry and £20 welcome basket and I thought what I was paying was a bit of a piss take!

My husband of 15 years is rude and dismissive of my parents who have always been nothing but lovely to him.

His parents have died and his siblings don’t really bother, he isn’t inundated with friends and family members and likes his own company.

I invited my parents for lunch at 1.30, at 1130 he insisted on taking the kids out to the park. He knew parents were coming at 1.30 so came home at 2.30. He does this a lot, will turn up late to make a point that he has no respect for them or anyone else in my family.

He hardly spoke to my parents, sat at the dinner table on his phone, then went and sat in another room to avoid them while we cleared up. They have always been kind to him and I don’t know why he acts like this. Is he bitter because he has no parents or real family? He doesn’t seem to think he does anything wrong, but I’m really starting to resent his arrogance and selfish attitude.

I've stayed at places where you supply your own bedding and towels. However I'd expect more toilet rolls. Nothing else. Some places I've stayed have given a welcome basket with cake, tea and coffee and usually milk in the fridge. They always seem to only provide two toilet rolls for a week.

Sounds to me that they were reluctant to let freebies stay, so they did not offer the 'full' package....possibly to put off future visits?
All a bit odd.

I work in holiday cottages - not luxury - offering very nice accommodation, good quality fixtures, fittings, furnishings and bedding.
Lots of other stuff provided. 2 loo rolls per loo and a basic welcome pack.
Bathroom towels charged extra.

It suits the guests, with about 70% returning year on year.

I'd not want to work in the luxury market, but that is beside the point.

Anyone working in this trade kinda needs to have a generous spirit.

Your post doesn't make sense.

Maybe they will offer paying guests more?
Usually bedding is provided and beds made up , sometimes there is an extra charge for towels. But this should be clear before you arrive. If it's a luxury holiday let these things should definitely be included as should a welcome pack and extra loo roll.
We usually go for 4 star holiday let's and bedding and towels are included. There's normally at least 2 loo rolls and usually teatowels, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc
Also a welcome pack, tea, coffee, milk and sometimes wine , biscuits, flowers.
However you were staying there for free so maybe they didn't want the extra hassle of washing bed linen and doing a welcome pack but they should have made it clearer so you arrived prepared and tbh they don't sound like very good hosts.
But you got a freebie so would just mention that you think paying guests should get more.

10 people on a freebie. The owners have probably spent all their free time during the last six months doing up the house. They may not have got round to ordering bedding and towels yet or they could be arranging a form of linen rental, like they do on skiing places.

Can I change my vote from YANBU. To ‘ What the fuck have the chandeliers to do with anything about the price of cheese’?

Hard to understand context. More info needed

How very strange. The op dumps this on us and then buggers off 🤷‍♀️. No replies to the many questions unless the questions made her uncomfortable.
