The two rivals make their way to Bournemouth, the seaside town where the Chelsea Hotel is run by brothers Chris and Nicky Horton. On arrival they roll out a programme for the hotel’s guests, promising a leisurely day out on the water and hoping the coastal setting will provide a pleasant diversion. Unfortunately, the weather turns against them, with rain and wind spoiling the intended water‑based entertainment. They hoped the excursion would become a memorable highlight of the guests’ stay, but the drizzle and gusts kept the boats tethered, forcing the Hortons to contend with the elements and the day on the water to fall short of plan.

The final stop on this week’s itinerary is the Holford Arms, a pub situated in Tetbury, Gloucestershire. Here, Will Robson and Loz Cooper are eager to showcase the establishment’s prized produce, hoping to bring it to the attention of a wider audience. Their aim is to highlight the quality and character of the food and drink that the Holford Arms is known for, giving the local fare a chance to shine on screen.

They're also keen to celebrate its contribution to the local culinary scene.

The competition, which got underway at the Avalon Guest House in Cornwall, serves as a gathering point for the B&B participants. It brings the group together so they can discuss the issues that arose during their initial stay, providing a structured setting for them to voice any concerns that emerged at the outset. In the follow‑up meeting, the B&Bers reconvene to air the grievances they accumulated not only from that first visit but also from the three subsequent stays, allowing each of them to share their complaints in turn.

The competition's opening episode is set at The Kings Head Inn, a public house in West Sussex. This week, the inn's owners, Colin and Oonagh, welcome the participants and have organised a trip to a nearby Second World War aviation museum. Their hospitality guides the group as they explore the museum's collection of wartime aircraft and related artefacts. The visit forms a key part of the challenge, giving contestants a chance to absorb the historic atmosphere before moving on to the next task. Inside the inn, the team gathers for a discussion, with Colin and Oonagh sharing their interest in the era. The outing not only serves as a cultural excursion but also sets the tone for the tasks ahead.

The Roade House in the village of Roade, Northamptonshire, is run by Paul and Maxine. They boast a wealth of facilities, including a fully‑equipped yoga studio and a hair salon offering various styling services. The aim's to provide guests with a convenient, all‑in‑one experience, and both areas are kept to a high standard for uninterrupted use. Yet, despite these amenities, guests soon uncover a pressing problem that looms over the otherwise well‑appointed setting. The issue appears early in their stay, hinting that something is amiss beneath the house’s impressive offerings. It's nature remains unclear, but it's presence casts a shadow over the pleasant atmosphere, prompting concern among those staying.

During the third visit of the week, hosts Joanne and Julie welcome a new group of guests to The Halfway House Inn, a traditional accommodation situated in Morley, West Yorkshire. The visitors express clear admiration for the rooms, noting their comfort and the pleasant atmosphere they provide. Despite the generally positive reception, a complication emerges involving Paul and Maxine, who find themselves faced with a problem that affects their stay. The situation adds a note of tension to an otherwise smooth experience at the inn, highlighting that not all aspects of the visit proceed without difficulty. The inn’s cosy interior and the surrounding countryside contribute to its appeal.

The participants of the B&B venture head out to experience the countryside at Stamford Meadows Glamping in Lincolnshire. While the site offers a range of personalised amenities that give the stay a unique feel, the distance required to reach the bathroom facilities proves to be more than some guests are prepared to manage. In other words, the charm of the setting is offset for a few by the effort needed just to get to the loo. Overall, the stay highlights how even small logistical details can shape visitors’ enjoyment.

Yet the straightforward nature of the rooms means they don’t boast any luxuries, which leads to the split opinions regarding their cleanliness.

The opening of the competition takes place at the Brighton Surf Hotel, the venue in this early stage where the event’s first challenges are set. Here, the hosts adopt a deliberately low‑key, hands‑off manner of entertaining, choosing to step back rather than dominate the guest experience, in the belief that subtlety will be more appealing. Their aim is to secure the guests’ approval by allowing the atmosphere to unfold naturally, trusting that a relaxed approach will resonate better than overt control. By letting visitors feel at ease, they hope to earn favourable reactions that will carry forward into the rest of the contest throughout the series.

Number 16 sits in Greenwich, London, and belongs to Robert Gray, an actor who also trades in antiques.

When Jan and Les arrive, they are greeted by interiors that are heavily coated in dust. The dusty décor proves off‑putting to both of them, leaving the pair unimpressed by the room’s condition. Jan notes that the layers of dust obscure any chance of admiring the furnishings, and Les echoes the sentiment, saying the overall atmosphere feels neglected.

The episode therefore centres on this final sit‑down, highlighting the Manns' determination to uphold their unconventional service style and to demonstrate indeed that a stay can succeed without the customary morning meal.
