One early early Dairy Truck, but it has to be said if you note you're right in the middle of a village, on the junction and yet you still choose to sleep with the window open, then chances are you'll hear anything going on outside

A little bit of Ken goes a very long way
Ken is unsure of himself, so he hides behind his corny jokes. It not funny because it's not spontaneous, everything he says sounds rehearsed.

My worst nightmare, being stuck with a person who thinks he's funny but isn't ...

Actually though, your post's made me think. It's by no means uncommon to find that properties from this programme are either up for sale, or, have changed hands between filming and airing the show.
Perhaps some of the contestants are actually contacted to appear because the producers trawl sales and marketing listings and that's how they find some of their venues?
It's often the case that the contestants say they haven't seen the programme before taking part, so that could well be part of the producers' modus operandi.”

Apologies for quoting my own post number 8974 from earlier today but...
Was looking at the other places for this week and what do you know.
Tomorrow features Ken and Elaine's Allscott Mill, near Telford, Shrops and here it is again
LINK
I wasn't even looking for that it just came up when I searched Allscott Mill.
Two points deducted for cleanliness because of a tiny hair they had to take a pillow to pieces to find!

Those rooms are fookin huge! And those en-suites too. Now, who fancies gifting me £800k?

So they have perhaps used Four in a Bed as part of a marketing plan for the sale of the property. They're hardly the first participants to have their property on the market, the most obvious examples are Steph and Dom Parker.

No. It doesn't. The property appears to be a b&b, I can book accommodation and on that basis, it is genuine.

Really? Looking for the best market price for something is money grabbing? That remark alone would make me question your motivation for posting and I'm sure whatever your motivation is, it's best ignored and not something that is relevant here.
Is it a requirement that whenever a couple are on this show, the woman is always the one who wears the trousers? It's always the woman who apparently runs the place, does all the work and the man is always the pushover, lazy does-nothing one. Very tedious! Almost all couples mention this in their intro piece, as if they're forced to or something.
Also, marked down for just one bottle of water?? There's an en suite with a perfectly good tap in the next room! Get a grip.

It is called Lorne or Flat Sausage and is nothing like Corned Beef.

Not to me. The most obvious ones were the horrors from Aphrodite's knocking shop in the Lake District. I remember them as they were awful on FIAB and were hoping to sell their business!

I was commenting on that very thing! Why does this question always have to be asked? "Who wears the trousers?" What a bloody stupid question.

I agree. Imagine a whole week with him. Never mind that - imagine having to live with him!

Yes I agree ridiculous. I thought it was a really good looking comfortable place, the rates were good too. The breakfast look fab, and what is wrong with that stupid women, my husband loves his square sausage in the morning as it fits nicely in two pieces of bread for a sausage sandwich I think he buys his from a freezer place in gloucester farm foods not sure but they cook really fast lol. I have never seen so much nick picking....
A hair omg run for the hills. Its getting a tad boring now..... a hair can fly off your own head.
I think the rooms were clean, well presented, they had everything they needed for 70.00 a night. One bottle of water guests were told if there was anything they needed to ask...surely you cant mark down for that?
There seems to be too much game playing now. I note the Borgue had great reviews on trip advisor.

There really has been some dreadful nit-picking lately. The bottle of water comment was ridiculous. I assume they are egged on by the production team but you'd think they'd realise that sort of judgement makes them look mean and silly.
The Borgue B&B looked perfectly pleasant in an unpretentious way, and good value for money. Nice area too but I wonder why it was referred to just as 'Scotland' which is quite a big place! They could usefully have been more specific.

Lol!
I think all the yurt people are missing a trick really.
I'm a camper (of the rough and ready sort!) and the most important thing for me is getting away from other people! even more so than bathrooms (I know
)Each yurt should have its own little private patch, not overlooked and next door to another blinkin yurt. Having its own little camping shower and toilet would be preferable to me, than some horrible concrete 'shower block'.
Still, I wouldn't put camping on a B&B programme anyway really
