They have 4.5/5 on Trip Advisor up to Dec 22. It may have just been that occupancy was low due to post pandemic recession. It could also be Omar's health condition that forced the close.
@@greatimpressionsuk Well, that's speaking the obvious, lol. And they were excellent reviews, so it doesn't mean they didn't listen and so "paid the price". There are many reasons it could have closed, but being a poor quality place was not the one. I'll leave you to it. Have a good week.
Omar has decided he wants a Michelin star and is so stubborn he will chase his dream even if it leads the business to ruin. Thank goodness he saw sense at the end.
Did not listen to Alex's experience at all. Laughed so hard at the daughter "it's going to make us a lot of money... it's a no- brainer really", less than a year later they went broke and closed for good. She & Omar away in la la land
Depends she doesn't know everything id respect her opinion but sometimes she needs to do research or needs to call in other experts which she does and she admits when she might not know best and looks it up or calls up her network
How sad to watch the parents virtually hand over their business to their pie in the sky daughter and her husband. I guess it's no surprise that they lost everything.
You can google the names to see. It's quite interesting to see the results on Trip Advisor and look at the websites they have (if they have them). And I've found a few "3 years later" ones on here too. Not many though. So maybe she did a series?
She did some like that ..alex revisits? mainly they are all a repeat of the original almost all of it, with less than 5 minutes at the end about how they got on since then..(which by then you forgot it was a revisit show). . As other comments say, you can look up the name, and see how they are doing.
He is willing to die for a " pie in the sky" dream...I can never understand when people ask for advice and then when they get it from knowledgeable people they still follow their own minds ....
I chuckle when people say, "Never, ever give up!" thinking that, that attitude will somehow make a bad business plan a good one. You should always assess your goals against reality and quit or change direction if needed. Approx. 70% of businesses will fail within the first 10 years, so the idea that hard work and believing in yourself will make you succeed is just not true.
They're both spoilt brats, really. Everything just gets given to them. Look how the parents of that awful woman are working themselves to death and dipping into their own money to give the little brat her "dream". Imagine being so spoilt that you make your OAP parents do ALL the backbreaking work running a massive hotel, while still taking their money and living in your own little fantasy land? Ugh. It burns me cause all this money is wasted on idiots who don't deserve any of it while better people work their bums off just to survive.
The grassy ceiling, the rabbits, the too high pub chairs which left Alex her feet dangling 😆 it reminded me of Alice in Wonderland! I did like the rabbit (hares) decorated room though!
Yup, Dubai property developer, hmmm, wonder how he made his money?……no chef training but wants a Michelin Star??…….i own two very good restaurants……this guy is on planet Zorg!
UPDATE: Closed by this family in January, 2023 and reopened by new owners in November of 2023. The family closed the restaurant first but soon followed with the hotel.
Michelin star would always puts me off! Who wants to eat ridiculously tiny posh potions for an excessive price & feel like I’ve been ripped off, going home hungry!
First of all the word "twit" came to mind several times as i watched this. 2nd of all, i get the impression that neither of the young couple had heard much of the word "no" growing up. Thirdly...what a noxious dangerous culture this "manifest and dream and it will be so" is
Barney Cunliffe trying to explain the hard truths of fine hostelry operation to these people is like watching Serena Williams attempt Wimbledon court etiquette coaching with a flock of unruly geese.
When Omar says its my dream and if I do not achieve it so what? Well there is the couple spending their retirement money and their retirement time working non-stop for you until you and your wife step off the cliff of bankruptcy. I cannot imagine getting my mother cleaning rooms so that I can have a profitable business. Yikes.
Frankly the parents are also culpable. What were they thinking? They knew he had a heart condition and they were young and in experienced. They risked their own retirement by being equally pretentious and unrealistic. But at their age they should have known better.
Close half the rooms because of staffing issues but still intent on a michelin star? It will take an extra 15 chefs to get there and an extra 1 person to clean the rooms
Omar, living in Dubai, will have been surrounded by top restaurants, hotels, and hospitality. As an Estate agent he will have seen the inside of many millionaires homes. H The idea that he might find a few living or travelling to mid Wales is a little short sighted. If Kim also worked in Dubai, they are both deludedly leading each other on. If they had stayed in a Michelin Starred hotel, they would know their rooms need total overhaul and rennovation. A £45 rabbit light from The Range (I have one) is not quite understanding the clientele they are after. A 10 bed B&B by the sea (as per the mother) would've been spot on. Then build on that.
My thoughts exactly! Impossible to have worked in real states in UAE and be surprised at 25k interior. I just designed a hotel that has 1 free standing Swarovski luminaire in suits at 40k euro each 😂😂😂 In fact They had 70 k budget per suit just for lighting alone! 😅😅
WHY ON EARTH do people go into the hotel/b&b trade thinking it’s going to be dead easy & crowds of people trying to shove money into their hands? 10 seconds of research would give you an inkling that *it’s not that easy* FFS.. 🙄
Right it always shocks me how naive these people are. It's the same with Ramsey and kitchen nightmares. They think running a restaurant or a hotel is easy and none of these people have any knowledge of business let alone the industry they are going into 🙄
Wasn't it "Omar"? Not trying to be rude. I am German and "Ohma or Omar" means "grandmother or grandma" in German. Which if that is truly his name gave me a bit of 😅 a giggle. Lost in translation I guess.
@@ResinAlchemist2024 Grandma in German is Oma. Nothing else. Grandmother is Großmutter (very formal). What do you mean with "I am German"? You would know that if you were German. Omar is a absolut common Arabic name. Nothing funny about.
I have no idea, but is it even possible to get a Michelin Star if you’re not a culinary (trained) chef? I guess in extremely rare cases perhaps. I think I’m a pretty great cook, I enjoy doing it and sometimes I get lovely compliments; but I’ll tell you something for nothing, I am not a trained professional, I am well aware that never in my wildest dreams I would even come close to smelling a Michelin Star!! Seriously culinary school training, hundreds of hours working and apprenticing under food masters is how you get the top glories; not cooking for friends and family, or watching hours of UA-cam food channels and cooking shows!! You can have a dream, it’s good to have dreams, we all have dreams; but unless you have the time/skills and sometimes money, dreams remain dreams. Dreams are nice, but most of the time dreams don’t get you diddly squat or pay the bills!
As others have said... it's closed for good now... couldn't run the hotel and restaurant side... asked for help.. ignored it.. and then lost the plot and decided to go for a Michelin star... 🤦🤦🤦 so e of the best restaurants don't have Michelin stars... get the basics right for goodness sake.
This premises should be renamed "care bears manor", after the little cute bears that live in la-la-land. For the love of God, give me strength, Alex has the patience of a saint, rather her than me!!
Every time that I watch one of these episodes, I wonder how many of these hotels went under due to Covid. A lot of these hotel were struggling to get by and trying so hard anyway, but to have a shut down that closes your business for a year or more is disastrous.
A yacht chef? Michelin star chefs are moving the culture forward, they are innovators. The have big staffs. A yacht chef is a personal cook for what, a group of 12?
Omar has watched a few too many UA-cam videos. Still, I like this family. As far as luxury goes, I've seen way better chain hotel rooms here in the States. The mismatch of styles and colors throughout makes it look like a used furniture shop. Sorry to read in the comments that they're out of business.
This is what happens when people with too much money and no intelligence think they can buy into something they are completely clueless about…..I have zero sympathy.
Yeah, it closed Dec 31, 2022. Sad, because it’s a beautiful property and the family worked so hard. Even if they’d done what Alex suggested when she suggested it, with COVID, Brexit and the general economic crisis (as their statement said), it would’ve been nigh impossible to make a go of it with this large of a private boutique hotel. Thank goodness they were leasing, rather than having bought it. 13:08 is one heckuva beautiful view. Imagine being in that room and opening the window and hearing the river flowing.
I'm sure they missed out on hundreds and hundreds of people that might have went to support them from this show if they had listened to Alex 😢😢😢😢 silly people
The crazy thing us you can freehold 14 room places in most Englsnd areas for half the price of a house. 70k monthly in outgoings it needs to have 90% occupancy to break even. The lease must be ridiculous
They need to get migrants in through the government and go and do business courses and hotel courses. Or They need to do B&B with great Pub style lunch and dinner with High tea morning and afternoon tea. Open as many bedrooms as they can at £125. They need to employ clearing staff, cooks not chefs and a manager. They should sell their homes and move in and get job’s outside. They should package travel for Golfers, walkers and families. Do painting classes and weddings. That poor mother was the only person really working.

This is what happens when you don't tell your children the truth/no. She's been enabled by her parents, and now they are enabling him. She's got hideous taste, he thinks he's an amazing chef and they are clueless idiots. They have a massive hotel with lots of rooms, craziness not to make the most of all those rooms. They have no common sense to think they can start a family and run a hotel with a restaurant. You can't manifest everything, for all the talking about dreams etc. To randomly hire the coffee salesman to be a Michelin star winning chef says it all, they aren't using logic.
January 2023: first they closed the restaurant then the hotel due to the economic crisis and Brexit according to Boutique Hotelier article. 2021 they founded Kog Estates - property agency. The financials of that company doesn't look good.
Alex……..sometimes she is so dramatic and other times she uses decor that isn’t understated. Confusing. She does continue to come up with brilliant ideas that are unique.
I enjoyed watching this again. I actually felt sorry for mum. All I can say is they were lucky it was Alex and not Gordon Ransey. He would have torn them apart. He also did the hotel visit thing.
I have to feel bad for this family, they seemed like lovely people that really wanted the best, and Omar realy did seem like an excellent chef, but with his heart condition would never be able to work in someone else's restaurant. But I have a dear friend that is similar, a truly good person that is an excellent employee for someone else, we worked at the same place for several years, where I was his manager, but every business he's tried has failed because he can't turn a profit. He underprices his good and services, and doesn;t want to hire anyone to help, and then gets burned out from all the work.
``Twee?'' Does that mean ``kitsch?'' I liked the working, rotary-dial landline in the room. I hate these u-shaped courtyards, though. They should put a glass roof over it, and have a climate-controlled space with conservatory, tortoise, fountain and other attractions.
It's permanently closed now. They were totally delusional about a Michelin Star. They wouldn't listen and they have paid the price.
They have 4.5/5 on Trip Advisor up to Dec 22. It may have just been that occupancy was low due to post pandemic recession. It could also be Omar's health condition that forced the close.
This hotel is permanently closed so the Trip Advisor figures were posted before it ceased trading.

they are text book npcs
Closure announcement on Jan 6,2023 on website, published in hotelier magazine.
If Alex came to advise me I'd listen! I worked in hospitality most of my life. Easier to maintain Hotel rooms than feed people.
I never understood why people invite Alex to come and help them and then refuse to take her advice on how they can do better with their hotel🤔
@@chinavaughan6383 because most don't want to admit that they're the problem, and hope/believe she will say otherwise

For most of them,there’s nothing to see. Either closed for good, or sold, within a few years.

@@user-oy3yo7qe6o 'expressos' in Europe. And possibly in other parts of the world. Was surprised when in the UK people called it 'espresso'.
@@animalswin2105In Europe? I think maybe in France. Ask the Italians about that one they’ll be pulling their hair out 😂
Espressi!
If that entitled, deluded, spoilt young couple had to rely purely on their own finances and labour, they wouldn’t be so flippant. Their poor parents.
Why do so many of these owners think their foolishness is uniformly hilarious? Kind of pathetic, unfortunately.
Come on Alex, you’re better than this blatant bs!!!
Poor Parents had not a clue
Taking it on the mother was cleaner they could not cope ..
Hospitality industry workers are not paid enough.
'Bit of a dreamer' cloud cuckoo land more like!
He likes to cook and watches a lot of UA-cam what could go wrong
gosh what silly deluded people .. I always feel bad for these lovely old buildings in the wrong hands
I don't like little dogs 😂
Having watched five minutes of this patent nonsense……..it’s aka a money laundering scam…….
How does a grown woman in the UK, whose husband wants to earn a Michelin star, not know what chives look like?
I have to feel bad for this family, they seemed like lovely people that really wanted the best, and Omar realy did seem like an excellent chef, but with his heart condition would never be able to work in someone else's restaurant. But I have a dear friend that is similar, a truly good person that is an excellent employee for someone else, we worked at the same place for several years, where I was his manager, but every business he's tried has failed because he can't turn a profit. He underprices his good and services, and doesn;t want to hire anyone to help, and then gets burned out from all the work.
I wish Alex would not use the F word
I agree. It's unbecoming, especially for an educated lady with class. It's unnecessary.
I recognize the girl, has she been in another reality show ?
``Twee?'' Does that mean ``kitsch?'' I liked the working, rotary-dial landline in the room. I hate these u-shaped courtyards, though. They should put a glass roof over it, and have a climate-controlled space with conservatory, tortoise, fountain and other attractions.
Quit wa lot of us find it very unhygenic having a dog run around free in a Hotel. especially when food is being served.
I've noticed 😢 that people's delusions are related to thinking they can wish things into reality...
All about “manifesting” it into being.🥹
classci fat bird meets foreign man after money situation
Spot on. My thoughts exactly.
What is it about people staying in the odd hotel and thinking they can run one, the same or better.
