Excellent, but you have to pay to climb Ben Nevis? Say it isn't so.

lol I was shitting my pants when I went up one of its smaller sisters in the cable car the other week. This poster is spot on though, it was wet, cold,  windy as fook and not much view because of the cloud, not a chance in hell I would have walked up voluntarily, that's what cable cars are for innit  rotflmfao

"This attraction is free, but..."

Loch Ness is spot on too! It is just another lake and Nessie couldn't even be arsed getting out of bed to greet us  ;D

What made me chuckle was the amazing pictures behind the comments, just made you wonder if they actually looked up from there phones at any point!.

Culloden had one of the best museum/displays i've seen and was an amazingly atmospheric place.

Can't find it, but remember a great article about bad reviews some of the wonders of the world get.

"The view is alright, if you like views"

etc.

We could do our own.

Uluru, big rock in the middle of nowhere. 

It really is too.  Just an incredibly long journey to get there, and you get to enjoy it with a football crowd's worth of others.  Much preferred the Olgas, Katherine Gorge, comedy bar in the middle of nowhere etc that made the whole trip to get to Uluru worthwhile.  I think I was expecting too much though, and ecpected it to be magical. 

Inside of Sydney Opera House meh, just a tacky wood interior from the 1970's, reminded me of the inside of Preston Guild Hall.

Stonehenge.

Someone decided they could put a fence around it and charge people to see it. Apparently, culture is only for those who can afford it.

Angel of the North. Wtf!!?? Rusty piece of shit....

Venus de Milo, pah! The Greeks couldn't even afford to finish her arms off.

A real one I actually said live on sky sports news about Croke Park, totally oblivious of the history.....

Had just watched the first ever eng v Ire rugby game at Croke park, I was stood in the terraced end copping some friendly banter for my England shirt. Came out after we lost with my England top on and a pint of Guiness in my hand so I was an obvious target for Sky News for a quick chat.

Sky reporter 'so what did you think of the game?'

Me 'they played better blah blah they deserved to win'

Sky reporter 'what do you think of Croke Park'

Me 'great stadium, it will be better when they actually finish it'  rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

Sky reporter......walks off to find someone else  ;D :D

I didn't realise that it was deliberately not finished and left as a sort of memorial because of Brits murdering a group of Irish there years back, my friends filled me in later doh ;ashamed;

Hahaha the clue is in the name, GrimTraveller is going to grim.

Macchu Picchu

Ugh what a dump. Shoddy workmanship all over the place. Terrible infastructure - takes so long to get anywhere with all those bloody hills - they should build some tunnels and bridges for easier access. No wonder the builders couldn't be arsed to finish it. Weird sheep all over the place making horrible noises also - very off-putting. And the weather?! Pff, you think it'd be hot in South America.

Venice - Stinky canal surrounded by derelict buildings. Over-priced row boat rides available.

i've had too much to drink...

Bloody place is upside down too

Taj Mahal.

Too big, too white, doesn't even sell curry.

Keifer Sutherland?

*only when wrong way up.

Nah mate I had too much to drink...

Europe.

Too many foreigners. 

So this is it, the response that got this hotel serious press globally and trip advisor took it down.

Crags hotel, Scotland

"Nightmare!!!!"

Eileen S

Stay clear of this hotel was the worst experience ever. Very poorly managed extremely disappointed
frown emoticon
was a nightmare from very beginning as they double booked our room and continually lied to us about the booking. Our friends came all the way from England and were very disappointed as their booking was wrong also..... will stay clear of this hotel and advise everyone else to!!!!

The Response.. take a quick breath here!!

Valentines day has always held a special place in my heart... it was the day I first kissed my last girlfriend... who I then proposed to three valentine days later... and since she became my wife we have systematically, and quite deliberately, forgotten to mark the occasion.
However from henceforth I will remember Valentines as the miserable day that I had the misfortune to meet you, your husband and your friends from England! And the 16th Feb will now be called 'Hatchet Sunday' in memory of the review you left us.

Before I reply I should make something clear... My doctor has told me that I must control my anger levels... He has told me that I must visualise my anger as a wicked demon that lives in a deep dark pit, and there the demon must stay. Instead of giving free reign to my anger, I have been attempting to be more understanding... less 'Basil' like... so I will attempt to be as understanding as possible... I am getting quite good at it.. at my last appointment my doctor called me an 'empathy machine'! So, in spite of my desire to rage against this review, I will attempt to be balanced... let me try to set the record straight...
I understand that you are angry with me.. To arrive at a hotel and be told that you can't have the room you booked is frustrating! I get that! That is why I gave you a free bottle of wine... and £15 off the room... and a free nights stay in March! (I was contemplating also throwing in a wee hug for you both... but I felt there might be health consequences!)

You see I understand... I appreciate that having been given a different room you then felt the need to lock yourself away in your room and become incoherently drunk.... its not my choice of behaviour... but needs must... Horses for course, etc! However, here's where things become difficult for me... I have struggled to understand why you then felt the need to go on a drunken rant through the hotel, threatening customers and shouting abuse... (hmmmm)... I also.. gave tried to understand why your husband wanted to drag me outside for a 'kicking' as he put it... (hang on a sec, do I really need to try and understand this sort of behaviour)... and the massive hole in the wall of my hotel? The one you kicked with your size 7 clodhoppers... must I try and be understanding that (I feel the anger rising...). And the crowning cherry on the 'Cleveland Steamer' that was your visit... was the fact that you gave me fake credit card details... so that when I tried to process payment for your outstanding bill of £400 it was declined... (I feel myself crumbling under the injustice of it all! my grip on reality is loosening... I am teetering on the edge of the great pit... and there below in the inky depths... lies... the demon!... He is coming!)
Do you know what... I think my empathy jet is flying on vapours!!! I think 'Mr Understanding guy' has just been told to pack his bags and leave the building... escorted by the police... in... exactly... the same... way... that you and friends were escorted by the police out of my hotel!! Must I still try to empathise with you? No... no no no no no no no no no no no no no I don't understand any of it! Do you not think that there are one or two teeny weeny details that you omitted from your review... did you fail to recall twixt the instance of your arrival and that of your department that you and your husband went on a criminal rampage thought the streets of Callander the like of which we have not seen since William Wallace had a 'City break' in Carlisle! (however, to your credit you did refrain from rape, for which the men folk of Callander thank you) Did it really slip your memory that your husband was charged with threatening behaviour, criminal damages and breach of the peace? you wrecked valentines day for my customers and staff... You wrecked my hotel room... you tried to attack me... You refused to pay your £400 bill... The police charged you with crimes, which will no doubt be dropped... and then... you write this review...
One star out of 5 for location?... what did Callander ever do to you? One star out of 5 for rooms? Well, now that you have kicked all my walls down, I probably agree! One star out of 5 for value? May I courteously remind you that you didn't actually pay a single, tiny penny! despite having sat in our restaurant, gorging yourselves on wild boar and pinot grigio at my expense? £400 pounds of my money that I will never retrieve... perusing you for recompense through the small courts would be a fruitfull as pursuing a turd down a toilet!
In conclusion... you have ruined me! You have set my therapy back some 6 months... you have stripped me of my greatest strength... my compassion... I will be forever, a 'Basil'.
One last thing... in reference to the last line of your review "we will stay clear of this hotel" I think the restraining order will ensure that remains the case!

Basil
