I think they should show something local to them, an attraction to come to their area's.
Have to say I wasn't pleased to see the cheats win this past week when I caught up this morning. Of course they would win, the rooms are clearly worth more than the low price they charged just for the show, they most likely believed people would be over paying, at least they didn't. I don't think they deserved their win though. |

I was just watching an older series yesterday afternoon - and the couple who won that show (waters edge in Barton on Sea) won because they refused to pay any of the others any more than they themselves charged, no matter where it was situated or what the going rates were in the places they went.
They were particularly unfair to one couple when they underpaid ostensibly because they had to leave their room to go and make a cup of tea in a central pantry - completely ignoring the fact that the made the couple in question walk down the corridor to use the bathroom... I think the producers should make it clear that they cannot compare prices to what they charge themselves as prices differ so much across the country |

Monday
The competition kicks off at David and Ewa Woodward's Keats Cottage in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight. In the rooms, Donna Taylor from Jasmine House in Leicestershire makes a hair-raising discovery, while mother-and-daughter team Lesley and Chloe Priestly take a dislike to one of their competitors at dinner. https://www.keatscottage.co.uk/ https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_...t_England.html Tuesday The second visit is to Jasmine House in Lutterworth, Leicestershire managed by Donna Taylor who believes in a no frills approach. But it doesn't take long for Martin and Sara to realise all the added extras in the room don't add up. During the afternoon Leslie and Chloe show their fighting spirit during a kickboxing lesson and all the B&Bers square up to their host. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_...e_England.html Wednesday The contestants travel to the luxury Halliwell House in Cheshire for the third day of the contest, where owners Martin Hulme and Sara Williams charge nearly £500 per night. Donna is astonished at the room rates, while David and Ewa are expecting nothing but perfection, but the self-service approach at breakfast confuses the guests, leaving Martin and Sara defiant in the face of their feedback. http://www.halliwellhouse.co.uk/ https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Vacati...e_England.html Thursday The final two days see the contestants staying the night at Soar Chapel Guest House in Wales, the family home of mum and daughter Lesley and Chloe Priestly. Expectations are high for this duo and one guest in particular is not disappointed. Things get going in the afternoon during a beatboxing contest, although old tensions resurface at dinner and the hosts are left to calm things down. A massive spread is laid on at breakfast, but when one guest takes issue with the cooked items, Lesley and Chloe worry what impact it will have come payment day. http://www.soarchapel.co.uk/ https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_...les_Wales.html Friday The B&B owners meet for the last time to find out what they've been paid and to settle some scores. David and Ewa Woodward want to challenge Martin's criticism over the way they run their business. Next, Donna Taylor wants to find out more about the issue that caused Martin and Sara to lose sleep. Needless to say, there is tension in the air and axes to grind, before the winner is revealed. |

Instead of the activities we need to see more of each B&B. Is there a residents lounge, access to the garden, car parking, a dry room for walkers, the usual check in and out times and so on. The actual facilities that are offered instead of irrelevant time wasters.

This show is now being dragged down by the tactics these people are using in order to win....now they are going online during filming and checking out each others rates.
Surely the producers would make it clear at the onset that the prices given on the day would have to be the normal pricing for that period. I hated it all week, so picky and stupid.

I agree, it was one of the only weeks that we agreed we wouldn't stay at any of the places. we liked the mother and son duo but their place didn't suit us. I also noticed that links to the places were not available on Ch4 website either

The programme is no longer about B&B's though. It's 'evolved' to be about people and confrontation with their B&B's simply being the battleground. What a waste of a pleasant little programme.

I think the mother and son are really nice. I think their relationship is great, it's lovely to see a 19 year old guy so chilled around his mum.

Wednesday's place is confusing me from trip adviser it appears to be a hoiliday house type place and they're quoting £1,500 per night!

Hiya bit late now for this week, but I was also having trouble watching the programme on All 4 (what was called 4od!) In the end the only way I could find it was not to look under the actual programme title.
Instead you can go the heading (top right on my screen version of the app), called 'catch up' which lets you find programmes via the schedule (ie 5pm channel 4 etc) and hey presto you can watch the current episode. Hope that makes sense and helps for next week - if this week's shenanigans haven't put you off ![]() Actually, I've just discovered that this week resumes series 10 (the first week was series 10 for 5 episodes, then there was a unexpected backflip to series 9) and today it picks up from ep. 6 as if the intervening week hadn't happened. WTH. At least now I know how to un-sabotage my viewing! |

How can they call it a B&B for £500 a night? Ridiculous. You could have a 2 week holiday in Spain or somewhere else in Europe for that.
