    Have you checked this place out properly and made sure it is not a swingers venue or something along these lines ? , After all a special welcome could imply this. :)


    Could be the reason why they're going and 3.30 is just too early to start such activities :rotfl:

    I'd look for somewhere else and when you find it, cancel this one.

    They are trying to impose conditions that aren't on the website you saw. What is going to happen if you don't all turn up together? If there's a traffic jam and you end up arriving late, will they leave you locked out?

    They may have a very good reason why they have limited hours. In that case they need to make it very clear before you book what these restrictions are. Alternatively do the same as thousands of other guest house and cottage owners and leave arrangements for the key to be collected from somewhere, or put it in a key safe.
  • Hello thank you
    I had been wondering about cancelling
    They've not said what would happen if we can't all get there at that time
    I have just been thinking about saying that he can cancel the special welcome if necessary if we can't all get there. Am going to follow it up this weekend

    Thanks again you suggested what I have been thinking

    Don't forget to check for other restrictions too, like only using hot water at certain time or having to be out of the house for set times.

    This smacks of the Faulty Towers of guest houses. If they impose this silly condition to begin with what other idiosyncrasies are they going to come up with?
    You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.

    It will be like to guest house in only fools and horses when they end up stuck in Margate.
  • I would cancel simply because when you get there they may produce a list of do's and don'ts that will spoil your stay. what on earth is a special welcome? maybe he's gonna kiss your booty :)
