Well known for the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the Carlton Lodge is situated in the historic town of Helmsley, North Yorkshire. With beautiful scenery and perfect location it could be the B&B for you.
(PRWEB) June 22, 2005 -- Owners of the Helmsley Bed and Breakfast, the Carlton Lodge, Chris and Margaret Parkin thought they'd have the last laugh when it came to being compared with the legendary Fawlty Towers, but they soon discovered Basil & Sybil are a tough act to follow.
"It's a great compliment to be compared to the legendary series" said Chris Parkin who has often been compared to Basil Fawlty. "If only we could find our own Major!"
Well known for the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, guests have always enjoyed sharing lighthearted quips with Chris and Margaret at the Carlton Lodge in Bondgate, Helmsley. Deciding to prove that they are not exactly like the infamous BBC sit-com, Chris bought the complete series onDVD and offered it freely to his guests to watch in their rooms. "It all started when we put DVD players in our rooms and let guests wach whatever they wanted from our dvd collection. At first they were happy to watch the movies - but it wasn't long before Fawtly Towers became the number one choice. Then the fun really started!" Chris confirmed.
The trouble starts when guests take on the roles of the characters they watched the night before.
"Some mornings it's complete chaos!" Said Chris, "We'll have to have a word by word run through of a favourite scene before some guests will order their breaksfast!"
"Never underestimate the inventiveness of your guests" said Margaret who keeps things running smoothly as Chris quips withthe customers, "Nor their wicked sense of humour!"
Watching the BBC series isn't compulsory at the Calrton Lodge as there's a whole library of dvd movies available.
