There was a single bed for me, a double for my mate and partner and a bunk bed for her daughter. Now, I actually felt really uncomfortable at the thought of sharing a room and bathroom with a guy I barely knew. I wouldn't have had any issues if it was just my mate and child but not with her guy.I explained to my friend how I felt (I wasn't rude) and told her I was going to pay to have a room to myself. I also offered to pay my share of the family room which she said no too.Unfortunately the B and B had no spare rooms so I ended up having to stay in a nice Hotel - 5 minutes from the B and B. At 1st my friend appeared to be ok with it all but i noticed as the day went on she started to ignore me and the following day she barely spoke to me. The drive back was also uncomfortable and since we've been back- 2 weeks I've not heard from her. She put some pictures of the trip on Facebook which I tried to start a conversation about with her but she ignored my attempts.I did however speak to a mutual friend of ours who said "I hear you didn't like the B and B so you checked on to a posh hotel." It appears my friend had failed to explain to our mutual friend that it wasn't the B and B that was an issue but that it was sharing a room with a guy I barely knew!! Now I have no idea what lies she's telling people!Was I in the wrong to go to the hotel?

No not atall I think anyone in that situation would slightly uncomfortable, and I'd there we're no rooms in the b and b then you has no choice! And saying that we're you stay is your choice anyway! I'd call your friend and explan how you felt, if she is a real friend there will be no hard feelings

I dont think you were wrong, she should have explained what room she booked before you ever embarked on this trip and a lot of people would have felt similarly uncomfortable.
