    These two exploring together is just gold 😂 only men can get so excited to find an abandoned empty dance room

      A great example of the importance of a good friend.
      These two guys go on the worst holidays, stay in abysmal & often toxic surroundings
      & are completely happy.

      You wouldn't be too happy if they poked through your stuff, even after your dead. Looking down on the world, only to see two scallies going through your worldly possessions before the family could sell them on.

    Ed is like a kiddie in a sweet shop with all the exciting things he finds. You never let us down Alex with a climb here and there. What a beautiful place that was but so shocking to see all the things left tha5 could easily be sold on. Really enjoyed that thank you xx

    That development screams 1990s! The wooden single pane windows, the yellow walls,blue carpet, wood trim. Hyacinth Bucket would have approved immensely! Great explore and such a shame to see such a big place abandoned like that.

    So I have been watching a lot of you channel lately & this one got my attention. This hotel was still open back in November 2016 . My missies & I stayed there a couple of times . Really weird seeing this place & you guys walking around it in this state. The part of the building that looked like a building site was being rebuilt after a major fire in that part of the hotel .
    Keep doing what you do so interesting.

    Thank you for the laugh. When Ed and you were in the dance studio and he was dancing, I was laughing so hard I almost pee'd me pants roflmfao 😂. I needed that to take my mind off my pain. Y'all are certainly comic relief for me. I've been binge watching ya channel. Ya became my favorite channel now. Can't wait to see what Y'all get into next. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can't no longer do what ya do and ya bring it to me I really appreciate it cause Y'all do it the way I'd do it. God bless y'all. Also wear some face mask and gloves plz ya coming in contact with some toxic mold and chemicals that end up in ya lungs and obsurbed through the skin over time that stuff can cause cancer so plz my friends be careful and God bless. 😊❤🎉 And hunt away.

    Hi guys I'm watching from New Zealand. That was a good explore. Its not beyond repair. it would cost a lot. Its a wonder no one has taken it on with such a great out door setting.. Its funny watching the people wandering about outside while you are sneaking about inside.

    I've squatted in places as big as that back in the day but not as grand as that.
    How can it just be left too ruin.
    It's worth millions.
    But slowly decaying day by day.

    Looks like the ground floor over the lake may have flooded at one point with the water damage up the walls. When you went upstairs the contrast was incredible.
    Hope they can renovate it as it's in a pretty prime location.

    I actually stayed in this hotel in 2012. GroupOn cheap night. It seemed at the time it was a bit desperate for business. There had been hardly anyone there, when we stayed. It wasn’t terrible, but it was very lacking. We actually stayed in circle but of the hotel that sits more on the water. Very cold and there was a smell of damp before it shut down.

    • @KittyKat1986
      @KittyKat1986 Год назад

      You actually went into the room, my husband I stayed in. Sad to see it in such a state.

      @VacantHaven  Год назад

      Thanks for your comment Kitty Kat, it's a shame these places get left to decay, such a beautiful location as well.
      I guess a combination of mis management and a pandemic didn't help.

    The place I worked for in 2008 brought the same oven that you see at 29.30 and it cost about £10,000!😮 this might be the start of the spending spree along with the building work that lead them into debt after the recession.

    Hi Alex & Ed, if the "pentagram" is one point at the bottom it could be satanic but if there are two points at the bottom it is pagan. I would have loved to see Ed in that pretty dress at 21:57 lol, sorry Ed, Matt could have worn the tutu lol. I think that place is haunted because while you were looking at the boat hung up at 39:26 to the right of it the chandelier is swinging behind Ed. What a huge place, a cool explore too guys. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🥰

    Bet that was a beautiful hotel as reception looked pretty classy. Having breakfast on those little balconies and a glass of wine at night must have been lovely, so peaceful 😍.
    What a shame its all just going to rack and ruin eh. Millions of pounds just rotting away, bloody tragic really. Cracking find Alex and Ed, love my Sunday nights with you guys x 😘
