We Found an ABANDONED Lakeside Hotel - Everything Left Behind

[@skipperbentdk]

These two exploring together is just gold 😂 only men can get so excited to find an abandoned empty dance room

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers! I still don't understand why we got excited over that lol

[@daffyduk77]

the imagination running riot over the previous users - well some of them ?? 🙂@@VacantHaven

[@triedzidono]

A great example of the importance of a good friend. These two guys go on the worst holidays, stay in abysmal & often toxic surroundings & are completely happy.

[@RichieRouge206]

That development screams 1990s! The wooden single pane windows, the yellow walls,blue carpet, wood trim. Hyacinth Bucket would have approved immensely! Great explore and such a shame to see such a big place abandoned like that.

[@nannyofmany8315]

That was epic Alex and Pompeye. Would love for you to go back and spent longer in the building over the Thames! Brilliant video. You just find the most amazing places 🤗💜❤️🥰

[@VacantHaven]

If we went back, Edd would end up wearing thar fancy dress! Thank you for your very kind donation too Nanny! 😁👍👍👍

[@conniejohnson290]

I love watching Ed get excited. Another great video guys!

[@gaynor3976]

Ed is like a kiddie in a sweet shop with all the exciting things he finds. You never let us down Alex with a climb here and there. What a beautiful place that was but so shocking to see all the things left tha5 could easily be sold on. Really enjoyed that thank you xx

[@UGO41T]

So I have been watching a lot of you channel lately & this one got my attention. This hotel was still open back in November 2016 . My missies & I stayed there a couple of times . Really weird seeing this place & you guys walking around it in this state. The part of the building that looked like a building site was being rebuilt after a major fire in that part of the hotel . Keep doing what you do so interesting.

[@MsMesem]

Motorway sounds from nearby. Is this upper Thames area or much further north ?

[@julieb5707]

That was an awesome video, I really enjoyed it. Love the relationship and banter you two have 😂. Thanks for another great video. Have a good week.

[@BillVee]

Absolute awesome explore. Huge premises there plus that old Tudor building was fascinating to see. Top work guys 👍

[@maz121able]

That was great to watch ! So interesting and funny. Well done to you both. Keep the videos coming ❤

[@VacantHaven]

Nice, cheers Maz! Glad you enjoyed the little adventure 😊 👍

[@theoddjobcentre6686]

​@@VacantHavenlooks a nice place hopefully one day it might reopen

[@ruseliseli5686]

I like going on adventures like this, I'm always actively watching your content, try to get me on an adventure like this

[@jonellbackman3352]

My favorite abandoned group, enjoy seeing the buildings and the interaction of you three.

[@VacantHaven]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy the explores!

[@junetonks4835]

Epic explore, would love to have seen this place up and running, best part of Sunday seeing your explores.

[@VacantHaven]

Thank you June very kind comment! Glad you enjoyed 😁👍

[@23toxic23]

Wow what a place. I've squatted in places as big as that back in the day but not as grand as that. How can it just be left too ruin. It's worth millions. But slowly decaying day by day. Great find and love your channel.

[@MsMesem]

Very strange to leave such a modern building in such a nice location abandoned in the UK.

[@andrewkiwi1]

Hi guys I'm watching from New Zealand. That was a good explore. Its not beyond repair. it would cost a lot. Its a wonder no one has taken it on with such a great out door setting.. Its funny watching the people wandering about outside while you are sneaking about inside.

[@VacantHaven]

Thanks for watching and commenting Andrew, glad you enjoyed. Was a really cool one to look around this!

[@Trish1]

What an amazing hotel complex this must have been - and on the Thames 🤩 So sad it’s been abandoned and left like that 😢 but at least people are keeping their boats there 🤣🤣 Thanks to you and Edd for another brilliant explore 👍👍

[@cturner7050]

That was awesome..must have been a beautiful fun place at one time ❤

[@mickangel3945]

I've been to this place quite a few times for conferences and training courses over the years. I live not far away.

[@peanut9125]

Nice work,Thank you!

[@Joebloggs-eo2vw]

Looks like the ground floor over the lake may have flooded at one point with the water damage up the walls. When you went upstairs the contrast was incredible. Hope they can renovate it as it's in a pretty prime location.

[@teresaholt5969]

Absolutely brilliant. What a place, stunning. much love and respect from the Netherlands ❣️🙏

[@VacantHaven]

Thank you Teresa, glad you enjoyed that huge explore! Greetings from the UK 👍

[@clarepartrick1066]

I have been looking forward to seeing one of your nail biting explorations all week another great find.👌💕

[@stuartfletcher2378]

That was an amazing walk about . You could not have found a better place to explore in a million years . thank you for sharing it with us , I'm going to take time to watch that again . Till next time , Cheers , Stuart in Canada ..

[@leeparker7194]

What a awesome explore! Mind blowing how these places are left. Top work as always guys. 👌💪

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers for watching Lee 👍

[@pualanikamakea]

I am absolutely loving this place, I may have not put it that close to the lake still I love it

[@sonnya123]

Feel sad watching this once beautiful hotel. from 53 mins in I used to stay in those very rooms in 2007/2008 to the reception and bar area is exactly as was back then 😢

[@Jahoooty]

Ed is already wearing the red spandex super hero suit under his mild mannered pompey disguise 😂

[@stuarthinton2690]

What a fantastic explore. You never disappoint. Ed makes me giggle, I feel that's how I would be. Thanks again, and stay safe. 😊

[@1MartinWaite]

Marvellously time lads I bet the locals are up in arms they will have tried to block this from being built and lost then they closed it well abandoned the place now they are trying to revive the place. I bet it was as lovely in its heyday as you’ve said , but once again another great find and explore, thank you so much you keep me going. Thank you.

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers for the comment Martin, glad we can take you along for the adventure. Have a great week mate 👍

[@antonykemp3096]

How can anyone leave a place like that. I don't understand. Still got some great stuff left. What a shame. But great Explor guys. All ways look forward to your videos. Great stuff ✊✊👍

[@cjbree]

Excellent explore! You and Pompeye make a good team. Does he have a KZbin channel also?

[@Urbanwithin]

I hope it’s still accessible I know where this place is excellent video, keep up the good work

[@MrBarrylittle79]

Fantastic explore thank you definitely worth a watch

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers Barry, thanks for the modding to mate 😁👍

[@lynneohallaronbarnes4540]

What an amazing find, it would've been Grand in its day. You guys are certainly great to watch, always have a good laugh at some of Eds antics. 😊

[@sarahtaylor2492]

I bet that was beautiful when it was up and running. You do explore some amazing places, love all your videos. Thank you for taking us along, always a shame to see places like this gone to rack and ruin.

[@hahomy]

[@Chris.groucott]

We are having a vacant Haven back to back duvet day, Love this channel ❤️

[@VacantHaven]

Nice one! Really cool you are liking the adventures enough to warrant a duvet day! Enjoy Chris 👍 👍

[@joelosbourne2014]

Ah the Reading Lake Hotel in Pingewood, hence you can hear the M4 in the background.

[@roomullan3050]

Good boy, letting the butterfly out x

[@Buffalo31]

Do you think that the person that owns the place has forgotten about still paying someone to be there during the revamp which ended along time ago or was someone just living in that part of the complex and using the power that's still connected?

[@Klayre73]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Thank you Alex 😊

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers Claire glad to hear it, you're welcome 👍

[@Kim-J312]

This place was so awesome! What a great hotel at some point. Would love to see this place open nice views 👍

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers Kim, I reckon it was quite luxurious back in its hey day. Glad you enjoyed the explore, and same time next week 😁👍

[@bunchofgrapesorafig]

Good courageous British lads having an explore.... Looking forward to this one tonight....

[@VacantHaven]

😁👍👍

[@victoriatapp6859]

Brilliant love you two together, thank you as always for a great explore ❤

[@KittyKat1986]

I actually stayed in this hotel in 2012. GroupOn cheap night. It seemed at the time it was a bit desperate for business. There had been hardly anyone there, when we stayed. It wasn’t terrible, but it was very lacking. We actually stayed in circle but of the hotel that sits more on the water. Very cold and there was a smell of damp before it shut down.

[@KittyKat1986]

You actually went into the room, my husband I stayed in. Sad to see it in such a state.

[@VacantHaven]

Thanks for your comment Kitty Kat, it's a shame these places get left to decay, such a beautiful location as well. I guess a combination of mis management and a pandemic didn't help. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@MsMesem]

All that water and being so close to it I think it would be difficult keeping out the damp.

[@user-cc9cc6sx1k]

This looks like another great one. See you later.

[@DanielGBenesScienceShows]

Deducing that the beautiful old house was an illegal grow house before noticing the forensics powder was brilliant.

[@andyroid9154]

Can't wait lads

[@VacantHaven]

Enjoy mate 👍

[@Cheetoluv]

Enjoyed it much. Love how you make your way around! Enjoy the comedy!😅

[@carol2216]

Amazing thank you for sharing these remarkable places and things I get so excited. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@kathpayne4364]

Awesome explore Alex, this place just seemed to go on and on.. very funny you both picking out outfits for the other guy's 😂😂. Amazing view's out onto the water. WOW..

[@VacantHaven]

It was massive, probably really pricey back in the day. Glad you enjoyed the explore and the spandex 🤣👍

[@p.smurph5580]

Loved this find, thanks once again for the things you guys do!

[@DebiElford-xv1cd]

[@StephenForster-z3m]

really enjoyed this big place

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers for watching 👍

[@joannewall5499]

The first side was down to brick because of the fire

[@Buffalo31]

The place I worked for in 2008 brought the same oven that you see at 29.30 and it cost about £10,000!😮 this might be the start of the spending spree along with the building work that lead them into debt after the recession.

[@jasonshull3106]

You can look up the drive while shoving a crap. 😂. Pure gold. Love your videos.

[@andycompton4885]

Excellent mate really good 👍

[@VacantHaven]

This is nuts! Left to rot 😢

[@Tattooedladyd]

Ed should have tried on the red suit!! He would have looked fabulous!😂 You guys are quite entertaining! Thanks for taking us along on the explore, I was waiting for security to pop out of nowhere.

[@Weeeewriter]

I love this video but the one that made me laugh the most, was the hornet attack video lol Alex, you and Pompeii are so hilarious together lol No snuggling on the scooter eh? lol

[@JudyMackirdy-v7r]

[@daviddaviscrawford3669]

awesome! happy Friday here in the tenderloin of SF

[@jennycampbell5236]

Wow. Fancy having money to build al that and then it's just left to rot. Crazy. Was it because they had to shut down because of covid? Tragic.

[@anthonybeattie633]

Hi from new Zealand love your guys videos

[@kathleenhayes9906]

❤❤ hi thanks fantastic video xxxx

[@emmabh2166]

Absolute epic explore lads x

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers Emma 😁👍

[@oligorman999]

I like your channel is the best in the world 🌎🌎🌎

[@rogerfleury3591]

160th! 😊Stumbled upon your channel and videos today! Have watched the old cars under falling down sheds,and the sheds with all the airplane and ship models along with the house, or cottage as you say. Now I’m watching you go through the huge hotel. Am going to subscribe today, and looking forward to watching every video I can find! Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA

[@VacantHaven]

Thanks very much Roger! Glad you've enjoyed what you've seen so far! Greetings from across the pond 😁👍

[@sheilad83]

Ed is so dang loud clomping and stomping around! I can't believe the people didn't hear y'all

[@TheAmericanCanadian1973]

The thing about cash registers you should pull the drawer out to see if any money fell behind it. If the drawer is closed some registers have a release switch on the bottom

[@kathyms]

brilliant thank you

[@fayecox9401]

I really enjoy watch you guys you make it really intresting keep up great work

[@BlytheWorld1972]

What a place .. five stars right enough.

[@urbanarcheology7346]

What an amazing place to explore! Thanks for sharing. I just subscribed to your channel! Keep up the great work! 🤘😎

[@Carol......]

That place was bloody mahoosive wasn't it, seemed to go on forever ! Bet that was a beautiful hotel as reception looked pretty classy. Having breakfast on those little balconies and a glass of wine at night must have been lovely, so peaceful 😍. What a shame its all just going to rack and ruin eh. Millions of pounds just rotting away, bloody tragic really. Cracking find Alex and Ed, love my Sunday nights with you guys x 😘

[@VacantHaven]

Thank you as always Carol, glad you likes this explore. Such a huge place going to waste, but hopefully for not too long! Enjoy your week 😁👍

[@MsMesem]

On a grey showery day I imagine it would be pretty dismal.

[@aaronbirchnall6840]

Ba da ba ba bah, I'm lovin' it!

[@VacantHaven]

🤣👍👍

[@benbenboy1230]

Interested on what the hotel was called or whether there were any news articles as i can't seem to find any. Great video, really in depth exploration!

[@susanatkinson967]

The lads have got a good sense of humour x

[@unalunar7362]

It reminds me of somewhere I stayed in reading

[@Pure-Luck447]

Good fun
