To think a £20 tip is plenty?

[rocsanna]

Stayed a week at a holiday cottage in Devon. Me and dh and his mum and dad in the other bedroom. Been clean and tidy. House keeper has been to make beds and hoover twice during the week. So we are effectively tipping £10 per clean during our stay.

Is that enough?

To be honest it would not occur to me to tip so I’d say more than enough

I don’t tip in holiday cottages, didn’t know it was a thing tbh

I tip nearly every one but holiday cottage? Would never occur to me. Also I have never stayed in a cottage where the cleaner comes in during your actual stay.

It’s £20 more than I’d tip.

It would never occur to me to tip in this situation tbh.

I wouldn’t tip in this situation.

DH and I are both very generous tippers and it would not even occur to us to tip in these circumstances.

Tipping is a strange concept. I'm not sure why waiting staff are any different to any other minimum wage staff.

I think teaching assistants should get a tip.

I have never tipped in a holiday cottage but equally I have never had a housekeeper come in during the stay. Is this a lodge attached to a hotel perhaps?

I am a tipper but tbh I wouldn't in this situation as feel it is included in the rental price.

I stay in holiday cottages regularly and have never tipped.

I wouldn't think to tip. You have paid for the cleaning as part of your rental cost abd the cleaner is being paid for her time.

It wouldn't occur to me to tip at all.

Not sure why you feel the need to tip at all, I pay for services that are offered at the prices stated.

It's not my responsibility to provide staff extra wages or make up for their bosses greed and lack of pay in any scenario.

This.

Wouldn't cross my mind to 'tip'. The person has presumably come in, and done his / her job that they have been paid to do. There is no onus on you to then pay them again.

It wouldn't have occurred to me to tip at all, the cleaner is being paid a wage.

I always tip in restaurants not never a holiday cottage

Are you American or something?

I wouldn't give a tip in this situation either. Isn't there a cleaning fee?
