What irks you

Fairiesfolly I'd be pleased if the place was clean, comfortable and decent. You're far too fussy. I couldn't give a monkey's about the colour of the sheets. The toilet seat being up wouldn't worry me, so long as the toilet was clean.

Bradfordlass that was ?????

Gosh, none of the suggested would even occur to me.

Providing the room is warm, the beds are comfortable, there is plentiful hot water and there is a decent sized bath. I am happy with almost anything.

Our Golden Wedding anniversary stay away from home could have been a disaster. We stayed in a big hotel which advertised itself as being 4 star, in fact it was unrated and was actually average 3 star at best. Because both of us had been ill. I had a minor op 2 days before we went, it was a last minute booking and we did not check Trip Advisor.

It wasn't a total disaster because although the room was shabby. it was at least warm, (in a cold February). The beds were comfortable and there was always plenty of hot water to fill the huge old bath.

A 'nice break' and AirBnb are incompatible in my view. If you want hotel standards then a good hotel will provide them, whereas AirBnb is a gamble.

People playing music or anything outdoors when they could easily use headphones. That really irritates me.

I’m with EllanVannin!

I like white good quality bedlinen too.So I understand that but if I got irritated every time a toilet seat was left up here I'd be in apermanent bad mood.My OH hasn't yet discovered that toilet seats can be lowered !

I am with callgirlI would not care if the sheets were tartan provided they and the rest of the bedding was clean.

You are over-fussy. You would not like my house where the toilet seat is permanently up. What does it matter?

At this rate you will never leave home for a break.

What does the colour of the sheets matter.

Definitely too fussy - just cool it!!

You hit the nail on the head OP. You are too fussy (about a couple of photographs).

I wouldn`t care about the sheets or the toilet seat as long as it was clean.

That's hilarious BradfordLass, hahahaha.

For a Golden Wedding I'd have to have something special for a weekend----like the Savoy, Ritz or the Dorchester.

We've recently stayed in a beautiful house in Devon overlooking the sea. It was wonderful so I can't complain. It was a three storey property and lovely. However, the bedrooms were on the bottom floor but the bathroom was on the floor above via a rickety staircase. Slightly difficult if you needed the loo in the night, which I we usually do.

Chance would be a fine thing! If I could afford a break away, nothing would irk me.

Well maybe having to share a bed with an old man
