Great episode. 👍
I rather like him but again I have diagnosed him?
It’s an insult to send someone with Alex’s intelligence, experience and patience on such projects. Thank God she maintains her sense of humour.
This owner is useless
What an onbonxious business owner, he's so rude to Alex. She was improving his guest house. He needs to move into different work
Permaculture . . . the poetry and wisdom wall . . . I can smell the b.o. from here!
How can this place even be allowed to be operating no wonder we are losing popularity as a tourist destination. This should be shut down immediately as a business until it is all cleaned as a minimum. Where is health and safety on this. How he cant be embarrassed is beyond words.
The new decor is very clean and looks much better. He deserved to struggle. He is so so rude.
this man definitely has emotional/mental issues. it's so easy to tell by just looking at his environment. chaotic
Another narcissist… I wonder if Narcs are attracted to running hotels etc because they think they'll constantly receive praise?
I bet she wouldnt return there again for a visit if he is still running it.
The shop Alex took him too was gorgeous and so on the mark for an eco tourist
I loved the new room I’d much rather stay there
Passive agrasive bleep 😠 😡 👿 😤 🤬 😾 😠 😡 👿
Just going by the first few minutes they need to sell it now now now, he hasn’t got a clue. Hill house is a joke, who wants to stay in a dump, it’s filthy.
Hope there wasnt any fish in that tank! 🤮
Pleasantly surprised I had not seen this before. Thanks
A few of them come on the show for free publicity for their place… they have no intention of taking advice
cant stand curtains round beds
Duncan is so intent on self-sabotage. It’s astonishing
Yes the owner is in fortunately ignorant in the finance department and hotel standards, however being condescending and patronising is equally as rude, if not more so. There was no discussions on the program about direction. The new suite is sterile and cold, there's no welcome feel it's very IKEA and there needs to be compromise. The bathroom, yes, the colour of the bathroom? Cold. This woman I've never seen before and I shall not entertain this rude controlling and objectionable woman. The only thing posh is the pretend accent. As for criticising style. Try not to do it carrying a vast portmanteau in glaring red and a clashing wardrobe.
He wants people to come and rent space in the physical manifestation of the spiders nest of his mind….. for very little money, so its a bargain at least.
I wonder if this place is still in business ? Duncan is a bit of a tool in this episode isn’t he 😂
A hotel, or restaurant, or anything else in the hospitality business is hard work, and you have to love cleaning and cooking and cleaning and cooking, and people.
Hill House in Ross on Wye in Herefordshire is CURRENTLY open. I'm not sure if it's the same owners but it is the same theme
Messy messy messy. Rude rude rude.
He can't manage everything by himself. It would make sense to employ a cleaner and/or a gardener.
4.14 —- '' We dont know what to do''———– Well you could take 23 seconds and straighten those books beside you.
How is it that business owners can be so unaware of their costs and profits? It's the very basis of knowing if you have a business, or a hobby.
That is how you support your family,not the other way round.Listen to the successful lady
love love Alex so professionel
Duncan's family are not a priority, in fact nothing is except Duncan. How's that working out for him?
Alex…in one of your episodes you should bring your mum…..
The drapes around the bed are just dust collectors
He should listen to what she suggested, and perhaps stay in the kitchen and hire someone to run the whole project.
But he’s not going to do that)
I never understand why so many of these owners reach out to Alex for help, then ignore what she says, refuse her suggestions, and are rude about her and to her.
Spiders and webs belong outside. ( in my opinion)
