AI GeneratedA creator tests the \"pet-friendly\" policies of several expensive UK hotels by attempting to check in with an increasingly large and unusual variety of farm animals. From chickens to donkeys, the experiment reveals the varying limits of hotel hospitality and the chaotic nature of bringing livestock into luxury environments.
When I say the word pet, what do you think of?
A dog? A cat? Or a chicken?
Well today I'm testing some of the UK's most expensive hotels
to see if they'll let me in with an increasingly large and smelly bunch of farm animals.
Is this on camera?
What could possibly go wrong?
Right now me and Henrietta are going to go and see if we can book a room for the night.
Aren't we darling? Let's go.
The first hotel we're trying cost 250 quid a night,
the cheapest one of the day, but will it be successful?
Morning, you alright?
You guys are pet friendly right?
Yes.
Great, can I get a room with this one?
So we have to leave it for today unfortunately.
So you wouldn't have had a problem with Henrietta then?
No.
Oh really?
Everyone can choose their own pet.
Yeah yeah, you've exceeded expectations of this place.
Not gonna lie, I was pretty impressed to find out they'd give a room to a chicken.
However, what happened next was disgraceful.
If you want to dine with us, we are pet friendly for that as well.
You serve chicken on the menu?
We do, it's our signature dish.
Hearing this said Henrietta into a blind rage,
assaulting a staff member and leaving feathers everywhere.
I'm so sorry, do you want me to do that?
I literally cannot believe that they were open to staying in the hotel.
It's time to move on.
Chicken, it's official.
We're classed as a pet.
What will happen if we start to up the stakes?
Because next up, I've got a murderous creature who sounds just so adorable.
This is the most dog-like animal we've got all of today,
so I'm pretty confident that we might be able to get him in.
So what I'm going to do to try and secure that first,
I'm going in without it, saying you guys are pet friendly.
Yada yada, we're getting a pet friendly room.
And then I'll walk straight in.
Good morning, you all right?
You guys are pet friendly?
My calling was that we were pitching in just two minutes late.
Okay, yeah yeah.
Chicken.
Oh, chicken.
Not chicken.
Who would bring a chicken to a hotel?
Who knows?
Probably we'll be chicken friendly soon.
Are you chicken friendly?
No, we don't know.
Don't get me too excited.
So everything looks good.
It's exciting, isn't it, Basil?
I just wanted to show you Basil.
Is that a fox?
No, no, no.
German poodle Spitz.
Mix.
Okay.
Can I take a picture?
What breed?
So he's a bit of a...
That's why.
He looks like a fox.
No, he's not a fox, can you believe it?
It's not a fox.
Let's not get into gender politics here.
The result of that.
Depends where in the world you go.
But I managed to get him for 10 quid and a pack of walkers down a local market.
Perfect, that went through.
Nice one.
Thank you.
I literally can't believe this is what we're doing.
Even after they saw it, we've got a fox in a hotel.
Any moment now, Basil, you're going to be the first fox in history
to stay in this hotel.
We had to lie.
The door isn't working.
All right, all right.
All right, buddy.
This is beautiful, isn't it?
All right, buddy, what do you want to watch?
I can't believe I'm sharing a bed with a fox right now in a hotel.
Five-star hotel as well.
Basil, did you know where that chicken from earlier went?
What a result.
Two for two farm animals being accepted as pets.
I was doing God's work for the animal community,
but as ever, I'm here to test their limits.
So for the fanciest place so far, we're bringing Chris.
Chris P Bacon.
Come on, Chris.
Let's go.
Good boy.
This hotel costs £1,500 a night,
but for that money, would they let me in with my pet pig?
Hello.
Oh, my goodness.
So we are pet-friendly, but it's more for dogs.
Not at all.
I've seen some dogs which are, you know, more drooly and a little bit grosser than this.
If you would like to come onto the terrace for a tea or coffee, you're welcome to.
Stop ruining the plant, you.
So we're welcome to have a coffee?
Yeah, of course.
Chris, come on.
Right, we're rolling.
We're rolling.
No, you can't nuzzle that, you.
Come on.
Right, go through that little butt.
Here.
Yes.
See, who says you can't control a pig?
He's not ruined any grass yet, though, to be fair.
He's got some pace on him now.
This is beautiful.
At this point, everything was looking great.
Guests love Chris.
Staff even brought in some water.
That is very kind of you.
Chris is a rebel at heart, and his appetite for chaos was about to land us in trouble.
You can't ruin the grass.
Does he like that?
I mean, he seems to be enjoying it.
Stop it, you.
I am a bit worried they're going to be annoyed about the grass.
What can you do, eh?
They did invite us in.
Do I ask you to leave?
I'm really sorry.
No, that's fine.
She has made a mess of the manhole cover.
I've been told off.
We've been kicked out.
Which is fair enough, actually.
The gardener's going to be very annoyed.
Despite being a great start, Chris's actions got us a lifetime of bad.
We had our first failure of the day.
I had high hopes for my next animal.
Right, this place is an actual island.
This legitimately doesn't feel real.
Something about these posh places always makes me feel unwelcome.
Hi, guys.
You OK?
I'm just checking you guys are pet friendly.
You're allowed on the garden, but not in the rooms.
Despite no rooms for pets being available, that wasn't going to stop me.
Next up, we've got the biggest farm animal you can get your hands on.
All right, this thing's massive.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm talking about a horse.
He's down here.
He's a Shetland pony, and his name is Big Fringe Man.
This is what I meant by pet.
Oh, I thought you were talking about a little dog.
Oh, no.
Are we all right to go on over?
Yeah, yeah, it shouldn't be a problem.
Amazing.
So the room was a definite no-no, but they've invited us over for a coffee.
Come on in.
He's just funnily walking next to me.
Good lad.
This is a look into my future.
20 years time, this would be me everywhere.
Hey, you like it?
Me too.
Oh my god, that's ******* boiling.
Despite only being let into the restaurant for yet another overpriced coffee,
I'd still chalk that one up as a win.
His name is Fringy Boy.
Fringy.
So the breed is Top Lad.
OK.
So he's a Top Lad Gingy Boy.
OK.
Yeah.
Bye, Fringy Boy.
Believe it or not, this is actually a racehorse.
No way.
It's a national sport in Ireland.
So they get the kids on the horses.
Did you know this is actually a racehorse in Ireland?
They're so small, like leprechauns.
Moving on.
I still have three more farm animals to test,
and these reach larger, louder, and more unpredictable than the last.
Hello.
Are you guys pet friendly?
We are, yes.
You are?
Excellent.
I'll be right back in.
Next up, we've got Messi.
Before we try and get her in a hotel,
I've got something quite exciting to share.
Come on.
Now, I don't know whether you've realized,
but I recently hit a million subscribers on this channel.
Which is absolutely mind-blowing.
When Jay and I started this channel four years ago,
we always saw comments here before 10k, here before 100k.
And as a result, whenever we hit a subscriber milestone,
we always released coins.
One at 100k, one at 500k,
and now I'm doing it again at a million.
Now, every time we've launched these coins,
people have asked,
are you getting access to some sort of secret club?
But next year, we're going to be running a secret event for all coin holders.
I'm really, really happy with how they turned out.
We've worked with an amazing illustrator on all the custom fonts.
It's time to introduce you to the new one.
Here it is in all its glory.
One Mill Club.
And then on the other side, we've got Create Stories for the Grandkids.
Just wonderful.
Now, what's very cool is that the folks at Shopify heard
that I was planning to launch my website with them,
and they've decided to sponsor this video,
which is great because I'm advertising a service I genuinely use.
Going back a few years, I had a few attempts at starting businesses
and used Shopify every single time.
Also on all the previous coin launches.
Shopify is an e-commerce platform,
so any business you want to launch, you can easily do it with them.
I used their custom theme tool to build the Why Wait website
in literally half a day.
Honestly, it's so easy, even a goat could do it.
Okay, maybe not.
Either way, Shopify provides you with a useful dashboard
to see your data, like who's shopping on your site
and where in the world they are.
So, if you're like me,
and you've been thinking about starting something of your own,
head to shopify.co.uk forward slash Zach Alsop to get a free trial.
Thank you so much for supporting the channel over the years, guys.
If you do want to get yourself one of these lovely coins,
then head over to whywait.studio.
Come on, you.
He's eating every leaf in sight.
What, are you being difficult, huh?
Are you being difficult?
He's having a whiff.
We've lost the element of surprise.
Come on, then.
Good boy.
Well, we're stopping because he wants a poo break, clearly.
He's pooing again.
No, you're not going in like that, lad.
You're not going in like that.
You're not goat friendly?
Yeah.
Do you know what his name is?
Michael Jordan.
Do you want to say hello to it?
This is 100% not a goat.
Part one had failed, but I had a trick up my sleeve.
I know you said no goats.
What about sheep?
Definitely not.
Are you sure?
He is so angry with you right now.
Worth a try.
Take care, guys.
Come on, you.
Let's go.
Sorry, guys.
Oh, slidey.
Good.
I feel like Santa Claus.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, no success with the sheep and goat,
but with one more animal to test,
I was confident we could end the day strongly.
Look at this place, Scotty.
Are you guys pet friendly?
Yes, we are.
You are?
Amazing.
I'll be back in a sec.
Game's on.
It's time to introduce you to Dermot.
That was a fall.
Take it all in, my friend.
This place is yours for the night.
Do you know what?
I've got such a good feeling about this.
I don't think anything could possibly go wrong.
Right, moment of truth.
Come on, then.
Come on.
Dog, we're not pet friendly with the donkey.
Oh, this is a dog.
What I can do is get the manager for you.
If you can just wait outside, I'll just get-
I didn't mean to startle you either.
Look at the door shutting on his face.
That's so sad.
Oh, this is a sad state of affairs.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
Sorry, I will move him out of the way.
Big bum.
What are we thinking?
Can you come inside?
Oh, we can come in?
Yes, well, I've got one of your pets on.
You are amazing.
We'll just turn him round out here.
Come on, Dermot.
He's happy.
The service.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
Oh, yeah.
You're staying at a great place, by the way.
This hotel's amazing.
We're going through.
Dermot, look at us, buddy.
Hotels in London, you would never get this.
Hi, guys.
Lovely to see you here.
Come on in.
We've secured a nice spot here for you.
So you want to come?
Oh, this is stunning.
How gangster of a shot is this right now?
Come on, Dermot.
Let's go.
With four out of seven animals getting accepted,
I'd say that's a solid result.
And if there's one thing we learned,
it's that all animals are rebels at heart.
Must say I love the donkey.
Thank you.
He said thank you.
