Steve Cuddy
Dear Channel 5 and Alex Polizzi, Steve Cuddy here from Grimscote Manor Hotel, I am going to take this opportunity to express how dis-appointed I was with the way that channel 5 betrayed myself and Gill. It was and is a complete mis-representation of what we are and what we have achieved at Grimscote Manor. We have spent the last 13 years building with our own bare hands everything you have seen on this programme. Alex should be ashamed of herself she was meant to come along and help is but this was certainly not the case. I have tried on several occasions to contact Alex to discuss how they betrayed us but to no avail. I now challenge Alex to come back and film the truth. Over the next few weeks I will be writing about our experiences on the Hotel Inspector, on our webpage. I would like to hear off anyone else that has featured on the Hotel Inspector with a similar experience. I would love to hear from you.

Just visited Grimscote Manor what a lovely couple Gill and Steve are. Steve is a very funny guy and Gill is still a perfectionist. They told us that they have got planning permission to extend the hotel and they have named the two new suites after Alex cant wait to see it finished.

Wow- This was a great show! The place looks fantastic and was really happy to see on your website that you are still thriving but was more happy that you were so open to the changes suggested by Alex. My brother and his family live in Gloucester UK so if we are ever over there again, we would love to visit your premise! Again, well done - it's just beautiful.xx

I so enjoyed Alex visiting that beautiful hotel and, hopefully, getting it back on track. Good luck for the future Gill and Steve. How about an up-to-date haircut Steve for when I visit from Australia. please? And Alex, where did you buy that gorgeous green dress?

This is now a 3 star hotel and deservedly so.... A different program to the norm.... a hard working couple producing something really special for too little profit, how refreshing and they clearly deserve success. I wonder if the program will return for an update? that would be a first.

Really enjoyed this programme and I wish the owners every success - they deserve it. Agree with Alex about the "black swans". In fact, origami towels and toilet paper are my pet hate. I do wonder why the hotel is only two star rated; it's better than some four star hotels I've stayed in.

grimscote manor hotel episode was great and for sure a great change to the usual format, Alex and the team normally airs, it was a heart felt show and for the first time this season showed a human factor that real people are doing a real, hard working job and put a lot of time and effort in to making a hotel and the grounds a very special place, as the show provided a good fun, entertaining, and real look in to how real small hotels run, the other shows have been very ordinary, same format, hotel owners with attitude, rooms need improving, and overall an improvemnt on the rooms or restaturant or reception, this show was more about the human side and with hard work and that bit of guidance and help from Alex could make a diference, I hope channel 5 come back in the near future and re visit Grimscote Manor Hotel to see them, there continuing hard work and guidance from Alex, good show channel 5 keep up the good work

The repeating of the same ads over and over and over is a major deterrant to using this service. It feels like I'm being brainwashed, makes me feel angry and unlikely to buy those products. Sort out your advertising Channel 5!

Calm down everyone. It doesn't matter that the latest episode hasn't arrived here yet - I can tell you what happens. Alex goes to a hotel which is poorly decorated and losing money, she criticises the decor (she particularly hates anything lacy, and there's also a cobweb in a cupboard) and she tells the owners to improve it. She tells them to put new signs up too. She paints their downstairs reception room because it is currently too dark and it's underused. One of the owners is a bit grumpy. Then she sends the owners out flyering and gets them to invite local businesses for an open day, where they can eat canapes and have a look at one of their rooms (she's done one up nicely for them as a template). The open day is a roaring success and the local businesses say they will recommend the hotel to their clients. That's it. Same as every other episode. And, as per the rest of the series, the part of Alex Polizzi will be played by Stephen Mangan.

You don't dress like that on £50 a week! Also I have a feeling that rather than being a "perfectionist" this woman is suffering from OCD - a big difference. She needs a therapist, not a hotel inspector. The hotel itself is beautiful and I thought Alex gave excellent advice (as usual)!

Why is this not available yet? The whole approach to uploading seems to be haphazard, casual and totally amateurish; are you relying on some junior trainee to do it or something? (NB: Maybe we need an 'On Demand Inspector' to put you through your paces.)

It's 8.40 a.m., 1st Nov. and this episode is STILL not available to watch. Demand 5 is Rubbish! Five, go to the BBC iplayer and see how it's really done.
