Seasons
One guest's pernickety protests about a path prove pivotal in providing a plaque-winner as the B&B owners reconvene for payment day.
The week's final visit is to Marc and Matt's gastropub in Kent, The Dog at Wingham. The pair have raised the B&Bers' expectations throughout the week, and at first glance it seems they were right to do so. However, one visitor thinks they've got a 'ruff' deal with their room. The Dog is renowned for its food, so it's hoped a perfect breakfast will put Marc and Matt onto a winner.
The third visit of the week is to Bosham B&B in West Sussex. Alicia runs the business from her own home, where she applies some extra homely touches for her guests' comfort. Unfortunately, the relaxed mood is pierced during evening drinks by an argument about online reviews.
Mubi and Steve focus on fun and wellness at their place in Portsmouth, Ashby's Accommodation. The luxury lodgings go down brilliantly - until one guest happens across some maintenance mishaps. At least a trip up a famous tower seems to leave everyone in high spirits.
Hosts Andrew and Diane are professional artists who've designed their establishment using all of their creative prowess, and the eclectic accommodation options are an immediate hit. But one guest thinks the facilities are lacking, and leaves some comments in their feedback that are difficult for the hosts to brush off.
On payment day, the B&Bers clash over furniture failings and clock complaints. And sparks fly - ironically - over a lack of electricity. Who's won?
For the final visit the B&Bers go glamping again, at Phil and Jane's site in Derbyshire, where the stag-gering views include real-life deer wandering about the place.
At Chris's glampsite in Richmond, North Yorkshire, off-grid really does mean off the electricity grid. Which is quite a worry for some of the B&Bers...
Neil and Jack host at their hotel near majestic Windermere, where the B&Bers enjoy yet more stunning views. But there's still negativity in the feedback.
Na'im and Sara host first at their hotel in the breathtaking Cumbrian countryside. But one pair are too preoccupied with the furniture to care about the view.
The new run continues. After a particularly competitive week with plenty of gripes about value for money, which set of B&Bers reign supreme when the payments are revealed?
Sue and Roger host the week's final visit at their hand-crafted huts in Herefordshire.
Things get feisty on a trip to a farm when Eirlys and Demelza host in Carmarthenshire.
Bathroom bothers besiege Sue's stay at Laura and Claudia's place in Buxton.
Hosts Grace and Conor get a grilling over breakfast options at their B&B near Crewe.
The new run continues. After the high drama of stray hairs in drawers and grumbles about not having somewhere convenient to put a towel, the week draws to a close with payment day.
The new run continues up Bridlington way, at Cherry Tree Guest House - would you pay to stay? Could Simon and Carol win the week? Maybe not after a hairy discovery, eek! #NationalPoetryDay
The new run continues. Jonny and Sasha encourage relaxation at their North Yorkshire retreat. And one B&Ber who's tense about tents gets some welcome relief when she digs her digs.
The new run continues. In York, Laura and Lucy's guesthouse has all the B&Bers cooing. And then they take them all to eat a load of chocolate. Their chances are looking pretty sweet...
The new run continues. Brothers Richard and Mick host at their Peak District pub. One guest does an impression of a bird in a cave. And can the hosts brush off some cleanliness scores?
The new run continues. It's payment day. Nowhere else will you find such consternation about whether a double bed is really a double bed if it's two single beds pushed together. Who's won?
The new run continues. Tensions are already bubbling away between the B&Bers before they've even arrived at Ying and Jean's inn in Powys. But the hosts have a plan to restore harmony: pies.
The new run continues. Karen and Bryan want to give their guests fever - cabin fever that is! They're immensely proud of their luxury lodges in Powys. Will their guests love them too?
The new run continues. The B&Bers have an udderly good time getting to grips with a very unusual cow during a visit to Charlotte and Matt's glampsite in Warwickshire.
The new run continues. Do the B&Bers like to be beside the seaside? First host Andy hopes so at his Blackpool guesthouse, where he's laying on a day of arcades and ice cream on the beach.
There are plenty of pernickety comments to unpick on payment day.
The B&Bers head to another homely pub, this time Ana and Dominic's place in Berkshire.
One B&Ber isn't enamoured with the idea of the great outdoors at a Staffordshire glampsite.
The B&Bers head to historic Harrogate to stay at Hollie and Ben's self-catering apartments.
Kerrie and Vickie host at their cosy pub in the North Yorkshire countryside.
It's payment day and the B&Bers finally find out what they've been paid and who's won - but not before they've bickered about breakfasts, scolded each other's scores and clashed over cleanliness.
Neil and Rush host the week's final visit at The Wylies B&B in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The B&Bers feel pampered by the sleek, luxurious interiors and superb spa facilities and the hosts even offer their guests a pillow menu to ensure they have a great night's sleep.
The third visit of the week is to County Antrim, where June and Stevie host at Ballylough House. The cleanliness standards immediately get a dusting down, but spirits are stoked by a visit to the world-famous Bushmills whiskey distillery.
Married couple Des and Mandy host the week's second visit, at their Drumrush B&B in County Fermanagh. The B&Bers embrace some inner peace with the stunning views and an afternoon of Pilates.
