The Smallprint, Customer Beware
The Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty的点评
点评:Stayed at Russet Cottage, Stablewood Cottages, Lucker, Northumberland. (Next door to Apple Inn)
I paid £197 for one night.
Customer beware: yes the cottage is reasonable and location lovely. But this cottage comes with conditions and they are:
1. You become their cleaner in the morning, with a long list of cleaning duties or they will charge you further. I have never paid nearly £200 for sleep purposes only and then become part of their cleaning services before checkout. It's actually insulting to be treating customers this way.
2. No safety locks on the windows in the twin room, which is where children would probably sleep. The beds are right next to the high risk windows and a child could fall out on the yard below.
3. Lovely view (not) of bins and bar staff smoking at the back of Russet Cottage.
4. Not for the disabled. The stairway poses a high fall risk for disabled people with mobility problems.
5. I couldn't believe we were left half used plastic bottles of watered down soap in the bathroom areas and this was 'luxury'. Even in Youth Hostels they place soap in quality dispensers!
I attach photos of the cleaning requirements and risks.
In my opinion, there are lovely hotels and b & bs around Lucker and the Seahouses area that offer competitive standards, great value for money and breakfast included in the cost and who don't require you to be their cleaner on checkout.
翻译:我入住的是诺森伯兰郡卢克镇的斯泰布尔伍德小屋度假村的鲁塞特小屋(就在苹果旅馆隔壁)。
我付了197英镑住了一晚。
顾客请注意:没错,这间小屋价格合理,位置也不错。但是,入住这间小屋有一些附加条件,具体如下:
1. 第二天早上,你得替他们做清洁工作,他们列了一长串清洁清单,否则就要额外收费。我从未支付过近200英镑的住宿费,仅仅是为了睡觉,结果退房前还得替他们做清洁工作。这种对待顾客的方式简直是对顾客的侮辱。
2. 双床房的窗户没有安全锁,而孩子们很可能就睡在这间房里。床就在高风险窗户旁边,孩子可能会从窗户掉到下面的院子里。
3. (毫无)美景可言,只能看到鲁塞特小屋后面的垃圾桶和酒吧员工在抽烟。
4. 不适合残疾人士入住。楼梯对行动不便的残疾人士来说存在很高的跌倒风险。
5. 我简直不敢相信浴室里竟然放着用了一半的、兑了水的塑料瓶装肥皂,这居然还被称作“豪华”服务!就连青年旅舍都用质量好的洗手液瓶装肥皂!
我附上了清洁要求和相关风险的照片。
在我看来,卢克和西豪斯附近有很多很棒的酒店和民宿,它们提供同等标准的服务,性价比很高,而且包含早餐,退房时也不会要求客人打扫卫生。
