Episodes of this season
1. The Sportsman
This week's competition kicks off at The Sportsman in Whitworth, Lancashire, where Steve and Georgia are hoping to win over their guests with bargain rooms and big breakfasts.
2. Lahtle Wood Glamping
Sarah hosts the second visit of the week at Lahtle Wood Glamping in North Yorkshire, where she is joined in her duties by her sister-in-law, also called Sarah. The B&Bers find themselves cooing over the cabins when they pitch up, but Steve and Georgia aren't sure about the value. After a visit to an old air raid shelter, Steve drops some truth bombs on the other B&Bers about what he really thinks about the accommodation. Come feedback time, the Sarahs contend with some difficult comments about prices
3. Cley Hall Hotel
Joe hosts the third visit of the week, at the stately, Grade II listed Cley Hall Hotel in Lincolnshire. The B&Bers find themselves steeped in history, before letting out some anger as they try out blacksmithing but a noisy night drives Paul to distraction, and both the Sarahs get a little too hot under the collar.
4. Bumble Barn
The last visit of the week is to Bumble Barn Luxury B&B in Norfolk, where professional chef Paul and co-worker Debbie are looking to cook up a storm. Following a history lesson at an RAF museum, Paul indulges his guests by namedropping some of the illustrious people he's cooked for in the past. With expectations through the roof for breakfast, the pressure is on for him to deliver. However, some brutal feedback leaves Paul sharpening his extensive collection of knives ahead of Payment Day.
5. Payment Day
Payment Day sees backstabbing, blazing barneys, explosive confrontations and plenty of vendettas to settle. Steve and Georgia aren't happy with their breakfast scores, the Sarahs are angry about their hot tub's frosty reception, Joe's tossing and turning about his sleep scores, and Paul is ready to take everyone to task about some low blows in his feedback. When the dust settles, the winner is finally revealed.
6. Rosaire Guest House
This week's competition kicks off at Rosaire Guest House in Llandudno, where host Jo and her mum Pat are going for a home-from-home vibe.
7. The Queens Hotel
Rachel and Liam host the second visit of the week at The Queens Hotel in Harlech. Professional impersonator Liam is hoping to impress with his impersonations but an issue in the bathroom gives Pat a sinking feeling.
8. The Mill at Glynhir
Visit three is to The Mill at Glynhir in Llandybie, Carmarthenshire. Mat and Helen are hoping their renovated mill will fit the bill. At first, their guests struggle to find fault - until Pat discovers that standards in the bathroom may have slipped. Things get prickly during a visit to a botanical garden in the afternoon but it's at feedback time that the hosts have the biggest thorn in their sides.
9. Hideaway Escapes
The week's final visit is to Hideaway Escapes in Pembrokeshire, where sisters Lesley and Sarah are looking to inject a bit of colour into everyone's lives. The idea of getting back to nature bugs half of the B&Bers - and things get spicy when one set of guests refuse their room and take refuge in the car instead, leaving Lesley and Sarah all revved up come feedback time.
10. Payment Day
With facility failings, bathroom blues and even one set of B&Bers refusing to even try out one of their rivals' rooms all on the agenda, Payment Day is set to be a feisty occasion. It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious when the dust settles.
11. The Earlsdale
The week kicks off at The Earlsdale in Devon, where married couple Lewis and James hope their bold sense of style will prove a hit, although a dribbly shower rains on their chances.
12. The Kings Arms
In Bude in Cornwall, the B&Bers visit The Kings Arms, where hosts Sally and Jo set out to give their guests the royal treatment. During the last visit, the pair were bullish about their spotless cleanliness standards - so, naturally, that's the first thing all of their guests check as soon as they arrive. And it comes back to bite Sally and Jo at feedback time, as they accuse some of their rivals of tit-for-tat marking.
13. East Creek B&B
In Dorset, newbie B&Ber Hilary aims to provide a home-from-home at her East Creek B&B - which doubles as her actual family home. The stunning coastal views instantly earn Hilary some brownie points, but a lavatory let-down leaves two guests with a dilemma. After a visit to a sculpture park, Hilary has an awkward moment dealing with a complaint, leading to some low scores in her feedback.
14. The Railway Ramblers' Rest
The final visit of the week is to The Railway Ramblers' Rest in Devon, where hosts Nikki and Terry hope their unique take on self-catering will secure them the plaque. However, simmering tensions between two of their guests threaten to derail things - and a simple breakfast the next morning isn't to everyone's taste.
15. Payment Day
The B&Bers meet up on payment day to settle some scores and find out how much they've been paid. Cleanliness concerns are at the top of the agenda for most of the hosts, after one pair gave consistently low scores throughout the week. Allegations of foul play get the blood boiling, before the little pink envelopes come out and the identity of the winner is revealed.
16. The Plough Inn
The first venue of the week is the Plough Inn in Ripple, Kent, where guests are treated to an afternoon of seal spotting, but are less than impressed by an old bath mat.
17. The Old Crown Coaching Inn
The B&Bers head to Faringdon in Oxfordshire, where best friends Simone and Anke host the week's second visit at The Old Crown Coaching Inn. Roy and Brian find the furnishings fit for a king, but some of the guests find the cleanliness standards to be less-than sparkling. In the afternoon, a trip up a historic tower proves a step too far for Brian. Over a well-received breakfast the next morning, two of the guests ramp up expectations for their own visit.
18. The Courthouse
The week's third visit takes the B&Bers to Great Bromley in Essex, where married couple Richard and Colleen host at their B&B, The Courthouse. The hosts reckon they're onto a winner with their breakfast, but it's the extra touches in the rooms that really get the B&Bers singing their praises. Tensions are released during a trip to a rage room in nearby Colchester, before Richard gets teary during feedback.
19. Samsara Retreat, Kent
The week's final visit is to Samsara Retreat in Kent, where Lori hosts with her friend Mike. Lori hopes to provide a relaxing, re-energising stay, and sets about giving her guests an immediate taste of what her place is all about, with a yoga, meditation and gong bath session. However, come the next morning, some of their guests aren't feeling particularly rested.
20. Payment Day
The B&Bers sharpen their metaphorical knives ready for Payment Day. The Plough Inn want to get to the bottom of their cleanliness comments, before Simone and Anke try to clean up Roy and Brian's marks about their mattress. Richard from The Courthouse is brought to tears by some feedback, before Lori and Mike put their sleep scores under the spotlight. After some heated debate, the payments are revealed and the winners announced
21. The Art Bank
The competition kicks off in Kirkcudbrightshire, where Mandy and Suzanne at the Art Bank hope artistic flair will win them the week - but a shared bathroom is an instant black mark.
22. Tithe Barn Hotel
The second visit of the week is to the Tithe Barn Hotel in Cockermouth, Cumbria where hosts Amy and Anna hope their host-less hosting won't put off their guests but the self-check-in causes problems for one duo. Mandy and Suzanne dig up some issues from their own feedback during a visit to a mining museum, before the journey to the off-site breakfast the next morning proves hard to swallow for some B&Bers.
23. The Sanderling
On day three, married couple Dave and Meru hope their guests will love their traditional seaside guest house, The Sanderling in Morecambe. A walk along the Morecambe coast surprises some of the B&Bers, and a well-received bargain breakfast gives the hosts reason to be cheerful, but will some less-than-spotless cleanliness scores in the feedback tarnish their chances?
24. The Curious Fox, Skipton
The week's final visit is to the Curious Fox in Skipton, North Yorkshire, where hosts Lee and Janette think their combination of rooms and fine dining will wow their fellow competitors. However, an unwelcome discovery in one room could scupper them.
25. Payment Day
Toilet troubles, bathroom bothers and some very picky comments are all on the agenda before the payments are disclosed and it is revealed who has won.
26. The Red Lion
This week's competition kicks off at The Red Lion in Charing Heath, Kent, where the owners treat the other hosts to a masterclass in hospitality at nearby Leeds Castle.
27. Glamp in Style
The competition continues in Battle in East Sussex, at Dean and Becky's Glamp in Style campsite. The hosts have novelty on their side, with their unique accommodation including a converted army truck, a horsebox and a vintage bus but not everyone is keen to embrace the alternative glamping experience. In the afternoon, Becky lets loose with a saucy tale amid the local fauna and flora and at feedback time, cold water leaves the hosts feeling the heat.
28. Tottington Manor
Best friends Helen and Phil host the week's third visit at Tottington Manor in West Sussex. Sam and Claudia are bowled over by the decor, but some guests raise their eyebrows at the high prices. An afternoon at a local rum distillery makes Helen and Phil the toast of the town. The hosts can't stop smiling when they run through their feedback - until some comments right at the end spoil things and give Helen an axe to grind for payment day.
29. Lakeview Studios, Dorset
Sam and Claudia host the week's final visit at their self-catering Lakeview Studios in Dorset. The digs get approving eyes from Claire and Lee, but Dean and Becky's arrival is marked by a problem with their toilet. Ahead of the all-important payment day, battle lines are drawn at a tank museum.
30. Payment Day
Payment Day promises to be a fiery affair after two sets of B&Bers in particular participated in tit-for-tat marking throughout the week. Eventually, the week's winner is announced.
31. Home Farm B&B
The competition begins with Nick and Tim at Home Farm B&B in Milton Keynes, where secrets get revealed during a visit to the home of Second World War code breakers.
32. The Vale Hotel
The week's second visit takes the B&Bers to Cricklade in Wiltshire, where Iain and Tayla host at The Vale Hotel. Their breakfast-free, no frills ethos has some of the guests worried, but it's the proximity to a main road that causes the most concern for one pair. Over drinks, the gang try an intimacy exercise that leaves Tayla in an awkward position, before the noisy neighbourhood is cause for much consternation in the feedback.
33. Cottage Lodge Hotel
Francesca and Maurizio host the week's third visit at Cottage Lodge Hotel in Brockenhurst in The New Forest. The pair have a background in high-end hotels, and their green approach to hospitality leaves some of the B&Bers impressed but a tree hugging trip divides the group in the afternoon. The hosts' passion for local produce takes pride of place at breakfast but they're left with a sour taste over their facilities scores.
34. Beach Sun Retreat
Husband-and-wife team Karl and Rohini host the week's final visit, at Beach Sun Retreat in Dymchurch, Kent. Their unusual offering proves an acquired taste for some, as not everyone finds the onsite meditation experience as relaxing as intended. Drinks on the pair's indoor beach brightens the mood, but some are left feeling less enlightened by the veggie breakfast the next morning.
35. Payment Day
It's payment day, and the B&Bers are ready to take each other to task about some dodgy comments throughout the week before the payments are revealed and the winners crowned.
36. The Dog Inn
The week begins at the Dog Inn in Longridge, Lancashire. Married couple Stu and Ali hope to impress their guests with a trip to a farm to see some baby lambs.
37. Ullswater View
The competition continues at Ullswater View in the Lake District, where Julie and her friend Sarah plan to give the B&Bers a touch of luxury. The group brave wet, windy conditions during a boat trip on the lake, and vibrant views from the breakfast room boost everyone's spirits. Until a sausage causes a problem.
38. String of Horses
The third visit of the week is at String of Horses in Cumbria where hosts Sue and Judith hope their guests enjoy the community feel of the place.
39. Cove Farm, East Lothian
The week's final visit is to East Lothian, where husband-and-wife team Gavin and Rosie host at Cove Farm. They're hoping to persuade their guests of the merits of glamping, convincing their guests to embrace the great outdoors with a wood-fired hot tub. However, tensions brew during a trip to a local brewery - and they're not eased by a complaint about the sleeping situation over drinks.
40. Payment Day
Payment day finds the B&Bers trying to get their heads around all manner of things, from facilities faults to shoddy sleep scores. After a tension-filled visit last time around, there are plenty of scores to be settled, but whoever will reign supreme when the payments are revealed is anything but certain.
