    Valerie is so spoiled, dramatically commenting that the RSPCA would cart her off for "dead dogs" if she came into work one full day a week.

    Valerie wants to do what she wants to do, when and how she wants to do it at her own whims, never tied down. But she wants to pretend around the hotel as the owner, operator, and all-around important person. She's annoyingly defensive and unrealistic, not to mention uncooperative. That scene in front of the employees was embarrassing, especially for the employees. The place is just lovely; they are definitely the problem. Why on earth would they mention anything even approaching negativity to guests?! I suspect because it's more about them in their minds than paying guests. And right there is the foundational problem.

    Val didn't want to employee the experienced receptionist because she didn't want to be shown how to do it properly. Lucky for her she didn't get the job. The inexperienced one wasn't a threat to her poor ego. I will never understand people who don't want to hire the best staff to make their business shine and actually be willing to learn from them.

      The food still seems to be at carvery level, though. Harvester meets Beefeater - with curry nights etc. Looking at recent advertising for it , it’s not what I would expect from a four star hotel.

    It is normal for little girls to go through a fantasy of being princesses and/or ballerinas. It is normal for little boys to go through a fantasy of being astronauts and/or engine-drivers. They usually grow out of this at around age-7. This couple never grew out of the fantasy of being hoteliers.

    These two proprietors don't realize that their success is based on hiring successful people. And putting their (HER) own vanity second. Conflict of interest: what Val wants and what Val gets!! (Doesn't include hotel obligations!)

    I watched this episode as a night cap. So it stays with me during my sleep. I woke up this morning realizing how utterly disgustingly decadent these two people are. Like aristocrats from the olden days. Let's try a folly ! Let us play with people, could be pleasant. We can afford it, will be something to do. No responsibility whatsoever for the investments made in the building of the hotel, the investment in running the hotel by the former owners and make it to a succes.The role it plays in the local community. No responsibilty for the lives of the people that work there and have their families to keep, No appreciation for their efforts. Disdain for the guests. All these people, workers and guests are a sort of boring things.
    And after they gave up ? Oh well, its the family's money, not really our worry. It was not such a good idea after all, but no man overboard. Our life is excellent. Of course their marriage did not suffer, they never had any stress about the hotel or money. Just the annoyance that things were expected from them, like a child forced to help with the washing up. The relationship with the animals is not okay. It is a weird one way street relationship. I like the way Ruth sees through them and stays untouched.
