Ep 3. Series 10 Episode 3
Four in a Bed is a British television show that follows a group of bed and breakfast owners who take turns staying at each other's establishments and rate them based on different factors such as cleanliness, comfort, and hospitality. In each new episode, viewers are introduced to four new bed and breakfast establishments that compete against each other for the title of the best B&B.
In Series 10 Episode 3, we meet four new bed and breakfast owners who are confident that their establishments are the best of the best. The first to open their doors is The Bolt Hole in North Yorkshire, owned by couple Jill and Chris. The other three contestants are Pam and John of the Cherry Tree Guesthouse in Cumbria, Billy and Ben of the stylishly designed The Bridge Inn in Devon, and finally, Emma and Ian of the Coach House at Middleton Lodge in North Yorkshire.
The competition kicks off with Pam and John, who are quickly singled out for their delicious breakfast. The other contestants are impressed with their homemade granola and locally sourced ingredients. However, their cleanliness score is marred by some unsightly cobwebs in one of the bedrooms.
Next up is The Bridge Inn, owned by Billy and Ben. The establishment impresses with its modern, industrial decor and unique touches such as a doggy bar for their four-legged guests. However, the lack of curtains in the bedrooms and a few cleanliness issues hinge on the comfort score.
Emma and Ian of the Coach House at Middleton Lodge are the third contestants to have their B&B inspected, and their establishment does not disappoint. The contestants are in awe of the beautifully restored coach house, and the judges are impressed by the extra little touches such as homemade cookies left in their rooms. However, the lack of tea and coffee facilities and high prices for extras such as a bottle of water damage their rating.
Finally, the group visits The Bolt Hole in North Yorkshire, owned by Chris and Jill, where they are wowed by the stunning views and cosy decor. The judges are particularly impressed with the high quality of the beds and bedding, but find fault with the lack of a TV in the bedroom and some issues with room cleanliness.
After all the establishments have been inspected, it's time for the owners to gather for dinner and discuss their findings. As expected, tensions run high as each contestant defends their B&B and critiques the others. Despite some disagreements, the group manages to have a good time, with plenty of wine and laughter to go around.
On the final day of the competition, the contestants discover their scores and hear the winner announced. Each owner is surprised by how their establishment was received and eager to take on board the feedback given. The winner of the competition is revealed, and the group says their goodbyes before heading off to their next adventure.
Overall, Series 10 Episode 3 of Four in a Bed is a fun and engaging watch for anyone interested in British bed and breakfast establishments. The contestants are lively and passionate, and their B&Bs all have unique features that make them stand out. Viewers are sure to be entertained and intrigued by the latest round of competition.
