Brizzle and the list
Ok so it was some 6 Nations Game in Cardiff and we had to drop my brother off in Bristol for a train as the trains didn't go to England in the evenings.

Fair enough, let's stay in a B&B and then visit my folks in darkest Somerset that weekend. Trouble is, the missus booked the place on line and it sounded fine, large car park, en suite facilites, lovely view of the river, all the usual stuff.

Took a while to find the place when we got there and there was space for two cars, ok...get in there and go to check in, looks pretty shabby but we needed some sleep, little guy for whom english wasn't his first or even last language asked for the payment up front and would show us to our room...erm ok, as we go up pass a board on the stairs that says
No salt
no fork
No guests
no soap and a huge list of other stuff finished off with
no refund after 10 minutes (should have warned us)
Room was the usual squalid affair and pretty much as bad as most other tales here, turned to the wife and said 'we've got 6 minutes to get a refund'

Bloke couldn't understand and tried to get us into another room.

If anyone else finds that place I'd love to find out the rest of the weird list.

length, about 5 minutes in total in that dump.

That sounds like...
The Alpha Guest House. By the time I arrived there, the policy had changed to 'no refund after 5 minutes'.

After staying there for 5 minutes and 1 second, and marvelling at the toilet badly painted in red gloss paint and the TV with exposed bare live wires, let alone the skankiest, filthiest bed I've ever seen, I made a swift exit, minus refund.

A couple of months later, I saw the place on TV, in a programme called 'Britain's Worst Hotels' or similar...
