To feel so miserable about this air b and b? Or are my expectations too high?

It’s supposed to have 4.75 rating on air b and b.

it’s £130 a night but in the north so not the most expensive area and this seemed like an ok amount to spend to get something decent.

the shower is like someone is dripping luke warm water out of a plastic cone. The towels are crispy and hard. It’s very dark. No central heating (we should have check this to be fair) so there’s lots of heaters to turn on and off and it takes ages to heat up. There’s weird notices around the property warning visitors not to touch this or not to move that… never known anything like it!

The living room is dark and sofa uncomfortable. Despite all this it has some great reviews. It does have a nice garden and things like a bbq and it’s reasonably big. But I can’t actually believe anyone would think this is a decent stay, especially for this cost? I wish we had just spent an extra 30 a night and been somewhere nice.

Feeling miserable and DP thinks I’m being ungrateful.

@Istgisforreal - do you do the 2nd B - the breakfast?

It really annoys me when the place doesnt even offer a box of cereal, yet is under the "Bed and Breakfast" banner. And owners look at you like you've asked them to fly to the moon when you ask about breakfast!

I do! Cereals, toast, yoghurt, milk and every kind of tea and coffee under the sun. Loads of jams, marmite, honey, Nutella, butter etc big fridge full of it all.
