Four In A Bed- On Todays Edition (Monday)The Cost For One Nights Stay For Bed And Breakfast

[gollob]

was £199,£160 and £180. Are there people that really pay those prices. You can go on a cruise for that type of money

Well, if the customers weren’t willing to pay the B&B would soon go out of business!

I do agree that some of them are pushing the boundaries.

The contestants have to give the highest price they charge for a room - if you check out the website I bet the reality is that it's much less.

Location makes a huge difference to what B&Bs can charge,

The 'rack rate' (for customers who simply turn up, rather than book in advance) can often be horrendous across all types of accommodation providers.

When I was working at a railway station I tried to help a Brazilian lady who was stranded in the town overnight be phoning over 60 hotels and B&Bs in the area for her. She was prepared to pay up to £120 for a room but the cheapest I was offered was £160 without breakfast. (I eventually had to put her on the last train to another town, where I'd found a pub with a cheap room for her). That was about 15 years ago, so I'm unsurprised that some places are pushing their prices close to £200 per night these days.

We VERY occasionally stay at a nice B&B ( there is one in Bath which is exquisite and that's much more than that) but usually it's a cheap and cheerful £30 per night effort or a travel lodge, or better still self catering cottage or apartment, and tbh it's just a room you sleep in unless it's a special occasion and you want something really fancy :)

It also makes me laugh when the owners are reading the comments and one of the guests says something like, i found hairs everywhere, and the owners say i wont have that because we checked everywhere 50 times, but the finding of the hairs was actually recorded and shown!!!

Agree gina, they deny everything, but like you say it is ALL shown - makes me laugh !

I too would not pay those prices for a B & B.
