Four In a Bed.

Probably the nicest couple I’ve ever seen on this. Be amazed if they don’t win.

We stayed there a couple of Saturdays ago and it was class. They now have a small pool installed which wasn't ready at the time their episode was filmed about 9 months ago. The pool was so warm it was like a giant hot tub - lush. There's now a sauna on site too. Our room had a rolltop bath and was the only bedroom not to appear on the show.

Steve and Maria are a lovely couple and we'll definitely stay there again.

It's closer to Kielder than Bellingham by the way.

Still getting invites for this, I think they started coming in years ago because of some of my, er, forthright replies to reviews - but no chance, signing up includes their right to give you a script and make any 'changes' around the place they choose - stuck dog hairs in a bed of someone that didn't even have a dog!! Anyway we've gone accommodation only now and that doesn't fit their model - there has to be breakfast I think.

I must say i thought when they are having dinner or drinks as it is on this new series on the evening some of the question the other B&B's must have been prompted to ask.

Just caught up with last week and was infuriated in the usual ways. Ali threatened to be a loose cannon from the start and so it proved to be. The last couple were really unlucky.

high standard this week but agree, last couple unlucky and a grotesque underpayment which was totally unjustified.

poor standard this week , phil and maria were set of miserable gits and the former was bang out of order on payment day.

As an aside the woman from Holmfirth shouldn't do her own botox.

Just caught up on this one. Phil and Maria were deluded and behaved arrogantly towards the others. I burst out laughing when Maria said the others have no class, when she's sitting there with badly bleached hair and caked on eye liner 🤷‍♀️
 
Just blitzed this weeks, decent watch, couple of contestants a tad over-sensitive and possibly shouldn't have entered competition. Bit of a barney on payment day:D
 
Every week there is someone who toots their trumpet a bit too loud and then falls on their arse. So too, this week. As is often the case, the bloke was basically right, but his superior attitude allowed us to cheer as he fell off his perch.

Caught up on this set. Ali didn't take the comments well and I thought they were all justified comments. I didn't understand the no coffee and only tea in the rooms, and I didn't like the look of the hotdog sausages. His underpayment was really harsh on the last couple. I feel for them.

Would stay in any of the three properties but not Ali's as I thought it was too pretentious and I like coffee!

The coffee thing didn't make any sense. He could do what semi-posh places everywhere do and provide coffee pod machines. Failing that, he could just lay on some decent coffee bags or Douwe Egbert sachets.
The breakfast was flawed, all round, capped, as you say, be terrible looking chipolatas.

Nice name that, straight out of a Tigon horror film of the 1970s.
Michele Dotrice: 'Darling, let's stay there for the night. This storm is not going to end soon and the place looks charming'.
Ralph Bates: 'I don't know. There's something about it that gives me the creeps'.

Spencer's fall was funny like 😁

His underpayment for the first one because he wanted a cooked full English when they don't do a cooked full English is the thing that irritates me most on there. Or when they don't like the colour of the wallpaper or something else where it's personal preference. I think it's harsh marking places down because you personally don't like something. It doesn't make somewhere poor value for money simply because they don't serve the breakfast you want or you don't like the cushion covers etc.

I think that 'Death Trap' turns up on Talking Pictures from time to time. I saw it years ago, so have only hazy memories of the plot.
I recall that the inn proprietor, Mr Drakoff (Peter Cushing) tries to allay Simon (Bates)'s concerns with the observation that customers are 'trapped' only by their desire to pay for a long stay. He then gives the gave away somewhat by showing Simon and Jenny (Dotrice) his collection of Venus Fly Traps. Simon subsequently disappears and the film follows Jenny's desperate attempts to find her husband. The chase affords expansive location shots of Lindisfarne, Alnwick Castle and Seahouses.
Funnily enough this week's Four in a Bed has a horror sub-theme, in the presence of Boris Karloff's great grandson. See if you can pick him out!

It's bizarre how bitchy they get about seemingly reasonable things.

The first one will make a simple suggestion, like the toilet roll holder would be better in a different place as it's difficult to reach when you're using the loo. So rather than thinking, hmm perhaps I should move that then like a normal person would, they spout all this bollocks about how catty they are and how they are playing a game. Then they go to their B&B and move furniture and pull mattresses off looking for elusive dust and other petty things to complain about.

It's reality TV, they're all basically scripted.
