Thank you what a lovely place, clean, and safe. Thank for the friendly welcoming feeling.


most of the things are in order by

I like cleanliness, owner of the place was very friendly, breakfast was also good. however the place is very cold but heaters in all were not working properly to deal with the weather of that area.


A stay spoiled by the aggression and rudeness of the host! by

We arrived at The Last Post at 13h53 to find no-one there, so I called the SafariNow call center to locate the host Norman. They managed to contact him and told me he was on his way, and asked me if I was aware that check-in time was only at 14H00, which I indicated I did. Norman arrived at 14h07 and immediately angrily scolded me for phoning SafariNow and not him, and that check-in time was only at 14h00. When my wife politely informed him that it was then 10 minutes past check-in time, he menacingly approached her and aggressively told her that this was his property and if she had an attitude like that he would throw us off his property. Since we were in a rush to proceed to a function within the next hour, we tolerated his rudeness and checked in. My issue is this - I use the services of accommodation booking sites like SafariNow (and pay a premium for it) to be confident that establishments offered on their site have been pre-screened to ensure that they meet the expected norms of the hospitality industry - particularly punctuality and courtesy. Norman is obviously neither. This was our second stay at The Last Post, and while he was generally "grumpy" during the first stay, he was not down right rude as he was for this stay. He should not be in the hospitality industry with an attitude like this. As a result we will not be visiting this establishment again, despite it being clean, comfortable and providing a good breakfast.. I would value your comments as a accommodation booking site on how you pre-screen establishments to avoid incidents like this - I am quite happy to pay a premium for the services of a site, but expect that establishments you recommend and offer on your site will not result in a stay over being spoilted by a rude host.
