I didn't actually stay at this b n b, because the lady of the house rang my home to ask if I was going to arrive any later than 8, because she'd be in bed if I did.

I said it'd be nearer to 9, as my friend was driving me down after work, and she went in to such a long rigmarole about how someone had woken her up at midnight that I told her I wouldn't need the booking.

I understand that she needs her sleep, but there's a difference between arriving a bit past nine and after midnight.

I didn't want the stress of wondering what reception I'd get, so I cancelled.

This landlady seems to me to have guests under sufferance. (Talking about how she 'makes her own boundaries' and suchlike).

Perhaps she's very hospitable if you arrive at 2pm? I don't know.

Me and my girlfriend were going on Holidays to Galway and booked this B&B through a website, on the add we put we were checking at 9PM as our train will arrive there at 8:30, and taking a taxi to this location will be enough to stay at 9 there.

So the problem comes when next day of booking Abhog called us and a lady tell us not very politely that if we where going come after 9 she won't open the door as she likes to have some rest before going to sleep at 9:30 because she wakes up at 6:30 on the morning to start working every day. I explained that we where supossed to be there before that, but that we didn't knew if the train will be having any problem or delay on the way. To this she said it wasn't her fault the train will or not be late so she don't care about, it's like this 9PM or nothing.

Of course we cancel and loose 10% of our money, on our holidays the last thing I like is to be unwelcome on a place I'm paying to stay, but what will you do in this case...

Management response from
kathleenfahy, owner

The gulliver booking agent's website clearly states if arriving after 6pm please telephone the premises and no arrivals after 9pm. There is no monetary gain for the premises in a booking transaction and it was the booking agent who withheld the deposit. People may check in from 8 am to 9 pm surely this could not be classified as strict.
