Reality TV drama for B and B man

BED and breakfast owner Andrew Blackall, who charges £250 a night for rooms in his guest house, came last in a reality TV show broadcast on Wednesday night.

He was appearing in Channel 4’s Three In a Bed series where bed and breakfast owners try out each others establishments and then decide how much they will pay for the experience.

But Mr Blackall who owns The Lodge at Avebury, left the other participants gasping when he revealed the cost of his rooms that look out on the ancient stones.

Mr Blackall, who is a vegetarian, also refuses to include any meat in his breakfasts – but the former actor was accused of making a performance out of introducing his menu.

He was also seen falling out with another bed and breakfast owner whose establishment in Bournemouth usually does not allow women guests.

Hmmmm, I think I'll cross that place off my 'must stay list'.

He must either be having a laugh or stupid charging that to stay in Avebury. I've been to Avebury and they haven't even finished building it.

I think for £250 a night I'd expect more than Linda McCartneys vegetarian suasages for bliddy breakfast, the bloke is clearly having a giraffe!

The Advertiser strikes again!

Unless they have recently changed their name the establishment is called The Lodge, not The Porch!

The Advertiser strikes again!!

"He was also seen falling out with another bed and breakfast owner whose establishment in Bournemouth usually does not allow women guests. " Wrong!, I watched the program and the B and B is for gay and lesbians. Get it right Adver.

Legally you cannot discriminate on the grounds of gender or sexual orientation. Rather bizarrely it was the 'gay' hotels who complained about this, not wanting heterosexual couples.

I don't allow cantankerous landlords of second rate pubs that insist on wearing socks with their sandals on my premises. Is that discrimination or just common sense!
