Hey FreeGang! Check out when we stayed at the WORST holiday park in the UK kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJjQaXhqedaej68 😮

I did see someone's comment but before that you can already guess which company it is 😬

[@chefg434]

continental breakfast is a light option typically consisting of pastries and baked goods, fruits, toast, and coffee. It is usually served buffet-style , I love the ones I had in France

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you 😊

[@annmariedeignan2596]

The churches in Shanklin practice ring their bells together on Wednesday evenings :)

[@historyisfake9153]

I used to live round the corner I sympathise for the bells that dont stop! They do bell practice just up the road. Also I have spent a few nights in there as it was a hotel for people homeless and a frind was there. It was some place!! Also I wouldnt pay to stay unless desperate or doing a review lol. Great video! x

There are certain essential oils that you can spray throughout the van that will repel mosquitoes and other sorts of bugs. I know specifically with mosquitoes and flies lemon grass oil is a good one for repelling them End it actually smells pretty good

Hi Kate. If go and get cheap hand hand cream and add lavender oil and mix it then keep it somewhere cold and apply it anywhere don't to get bit

I live on the Isle of Wight and and that hotel was cleaner than Thorness bay holiday park caravans that’s for sure.

[@marybates2201]

Oh wow kudos to you. Bob I was bit worried about you as in the morning your eyes looked very red rimmed. A continental breakfast in a nice hotel is cereals, toast, pastries, fruit and in some cases meats and cheeses. X

[@traceyannpapworthart]

I live on the Isle of Wight and desperate to know which hotel this is lol. I have to say I've stayed in worse hotels. There was one we stayed at in York where the rooms had no locks and we had to use a chest of drawers to keep the door shut 🤣

[@sueh1091]

sometimes, you get what you pay for. I haven't watched the whole thing yet but just walking into the room and the way the beds were made is shady... and if the bed frame doesn't work and the bed mattress is springy and squeaky, but most of all I'd be worried about BED BUGS as those travel in your van and all your clothes, I hear SUCH a pain to get rid of... that would be my biggest worry... and the cleanliness of the place(if the dishes aren't clean then bed sheets probably aren't either) and then safety of people coming in the night and then bugs - cockroaches, mice and who knows what else, especially if they never clean under the bed. you may be braver than me if you do sleep there.It may be cheaper than other places but the place is clearly falling apart - the wood is all scratched/windows falling apart, doesn't give a good feeling although I've seen worse in Las Vegas vlogs. I can't believe people can bring any money on some of these. it should be $1 and even then I wouldn't stay at some.

Most continents is a cold breakfast usually consisting of a pastry (E.g. croissant or pan au chocolate), fruit & in some place yogurt &/or cereal. Where as a cooked breakfast is well as is in the name - cooked food. Continental has nothing to do with buffets as you can have a continental buffet (cold buffet).

Interesting vlog! Sad about the story ot the owner not really caring but the employees do! This reminds me or the time you stayed in Pontins and you all got dizzy / sick but you think that was from the cleaning stuff? #freegang #livebutnotlive 💚💚

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hey Milly, yeah it's sad that it seems like no one cares about the hotel :( Yes that was a while ago, I think it was a Haven, where they sprayed a load of chemicals around the place 😵 Well remembered!! Hope you are well 🙂 have a great weekend 💚

[@VGL72]

Very brave! That hotel should be condemned…A continental breakfast is defined as “a light breakfast in a hotel, restaurant, that often includes baked goods, jam, fruit, and coffee.”

Hey Rosie, you're absolutely right about just having the basics of a safe place to sleep inside, and we of course always consider that 👍 This was purely to see what a place with such a low rating was actually like, and share that with everyone who may be curious as that might be all they could afford 😊

[@LittleBitofSunshine]

To me a continental breakfast is an uncooked breakfast so it’s usually baked goods, cereals, cheese, fruit! ☺️ But gosh that hotel owner needs to give some TLC to that hotel….I hate to see people having a business with great potential and ruin it for themselves by not taking care of it…. Like a bit of modernisation & a decent clean and it could be great. I personally think every hotel needs a good bed & a good bathroom! Everything else is a bonus. I would crack up with the creaky bed. I love challenge videos! There’s so many new vegan cheeses out maybe a vegan cheese taste test challenge with all the new ones !

[@FamilyFreedom]

We totally agree Shauna, the place could be amazing with a bit of TLC. I've never in my life slept on a bed that creaky, you literally moved an inch and it creaked 😵 Yeah you should definitely try that vegan cathedral cheese if you haven't already😋 We could do a Veganuary cheese video in January 💚
