This is the trip advisor page of Mister Garth hotel in Beverley As the name suggests its in a prime location and on the outside a nice looking town house - the reviews are some of the most entertaining things i've read . My fave is an old one where a reviewer is looking through the bay window as he is locked out , only to see the Manager laid out cuddling a partially deflated dolphin - Tje other funny reviews are clearly fakes put up by the owner , often praising the cutlery condition after a previous post has made their thoughts . i want to stay here for a night for the experience oh the link - http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_...everley_East_Riding_of_Yorkshire_England.html
What can I say about Minster Garth that hasn't already been said about Afganistan? Room Five smells horribly of feces.
He is Allam-esque the disbelief that some are asked to sleep on plastic sheets ! that the houskeeper said they would swap a complaining cpl into another - this did happen on Fawlty Towers the numerous mentions of dog poo in the dining room !!
Excellent find "I feel the negativity in the review stems mainly from this lack of attention and suggest he might be better staying at his Mum's next time, she'll probably give him a hot water bottle, his favorite teddy and a good night kiss too !!!! Happy Christmas "
As long as Polly was working, I'd leave Fawlty Towers a happy man. I bet there's no one at that Beverley place in her league.
The owner's responses are brilliant. " I suppose we could put the negativity in her review down to her age and immaturity, but her effective theft might be better addressed to the authorities ?!!!" "Guests are hardly ever asked to pay upfront and this is only if they appear dodgy"
I remember reading a HDM article about the owner - something along the lines of he got taken to court by the RSPCA for cruelty to his dog because he shouts at it so much, it's pretty much scared of it's own shadow now. The HDM asked him about the charge and he said something along the lines of "I'll go out and buy 10 more dogs and I'll shout at them as well!"
think this "hotel" was featured on "The Hotel Inspector" I think it's the only one to have defeated her.
I only realised when you posted this, I actually know him quite well, he's a bit ****ed up, he got banged up for knocking his missus about not long back and he's been nicked for having a go at the vicar at Beverley Minster. He's been involved in all sorts of dodgy deals over the years, including trying to buy City at one point. There was one really funny one, where he got investors to stick a load of money into something(I think it was power boat racing on the Humber) and when it went tits up and everyone lost their money, Coco the Clown(one of the investors) chained himself to the railings outside his house.
as with the Allams , my family has has to work with him in the past and a few years ago - not wanting to go into details (his personal problems) but our lass suggested i look at his Hotel - that was in 2013 , im surprised things havn't improved one bit . From what you read in the comments , its got such great potential to be a great place . the best comedy is from pages 7-14 http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_...East_Riding_of_Yorkshire_England.html#REVIEWS
