Horrifying.
Where to begin? List-form seems easiest, so here we go...
We had to phone the owner and wait around in the drizzle to get someone to open the door, and when we were finally allowed inside, we were given the wrong room. The guest house itself was filled with old boxes and miscellaneous items. We were told only upon arrival that there was no wifi.
The owner asked if I would like a whisky and then poured me a glass in a separate room where I couldn't see them. I chose to see this as carelessness rather than any ill intent, but nevertheless, it's a seriously bad look.
My partner was a little unwell at the time - mild food poisoning; the owner suggested that maybe he could 'examine' her later on. He also gave me a handful of pills to give her... with his bare hands. Ew. Again, I'm not suggesting any intentions here, but it was a very weird thing to do and to say.
We were woken up at 6am by a deafening drilling in the hall immediately outside the room. And when I say deafening I mean it: in the vicinity of 90 dbls. This went on for over half an hour. There was no explanation or apology.
Finally, we were ticked off for not coming down for breakfast. I never gave any indication that we would be and I don't appreciate being grumbled at by people who have woken us up with industrial level noise at the crack of dawn.
My partner did not feel comfortable alone in the room and, honestly, I'm not sure I did either!
The whole experience was super creepy and uncomfortable.
