With their set of themed rooms Will and Lynn Howarth are sure they have something for everyone at their pool and spa hotel in the Lake District.

Things get off to a rocky start for mother and daughter Christine and Jenna Hale, who run The Portcullis Hotel in Chipping Sodbury, when the guests are horrified to discover the pub restaurant does karaoke until 2am - which they are not only expected to participate in, but keeps them awake until the small hours.

June 20, 2012

3x37 - Chimneys B&B, North Walsham
June 26, 2012
Flying the flag on day two are Norfolk couple Jenny and Richard Harmer, from Chimneys B&B in North Walsham. Every room at Chimneys is named after a royal palace and has patriotic decor. But not everyone's impressed, as Dutch couple Hans and Monika find the use of a flag as a tablecloth disrespectful. Tensions are put aside for an afternoon of canoeing, but the subject of the flag returns over dinner, leading to further conflict during breakfast in the morning.
3x38 - Wordsworth B&B, Cockermouth
June 27, 2012
Essex girls Bev and Caroline entertain guests at their suitably blingy Wordsworth B&B in Cockermouth, Cumbria.

The hosts have arranged a refined dinner at a nearby bistro, but Jenny gets hot under the collar during a debate about room temperature, much to the bemusement of Geordies Emily and Leslie.
3x39 - Park Farm Guest House
June 28, 2012
It's the last B&B visit of the week, and Geordie mother and daughter Leslie and Emily Gray play hosts at the Park Farm Guest House. Their rooms are contemporary, and despite some eagle-eyed scrutiny, everyone is impressed. The afternoon treat features a ride on a Segway. At dinner, tensions simmer between Jenny and Essex sisters Bev and Caroline, and as the conversation blunders into the dangerous territory of the North/ South divide, the sparks really fly.
3x40 - Payment Day, Week 8
June 29, 2012
The B&Bers come together for one last time to find out what they've been paid and confront their critics head on.

Tension runs high, but who will be crowned best value B&B of the week?
3x41 - Foxholm, North Yorkshire
July 2, 2012

3x42 - The Pack Horse, Lincolnshire
July 3, 2012
Wendy Johnson and John Shields are the proud owners of the American diner-themed Pack Horse B&B in Lincolnshire.

3x43 - The Glenwalden B&B, Blackpool
July 4, 2012

July 5, 2012

3x46 - Borrowby Mill, Thirsk
July 9, 2012
The competition kicks off at Borrowby Mill, near Thirsk, where ex-military man Mike runs a regimented residence alongside wife Amanda Daly. On arrival, the guests are impressed with the spotless standards, but partners Del Cain and Roy Williamson uncover a dirty glass. Mike and Amanda give the guests their marching orders with an army-style activity, and the next morning, Mary and Nelson Haerr are impressed with the 'proper' English breakfast. The guests check out with positive feedback, but Mike and Amanda are irked by Del and Roy's comments on cleanliness, saying 'we're out for you now'.
3x47 - The Richmond House Hotel, Edinburgh
July 10, 2012
Second to host are Del Cain and Roy Williamson, hoping to impress with their budget city centre hotel The Richmond House Hotel in Edinburgh. On arrival, the guests are surprised, having expected a bit more 'razzle dazzle'. Mike and Amanda Daly declare that they are 'appalled' by the hotel's standards and decide to check out - refusing to stay the night in their room. The hosts try to sweeten their guests with an afternoon making luxury chocolates, followed by dinner in the hotel's onsite Thai restaurant. It looks like things could be on the up after Mike and Amanda agree to join everyone for dinner. However, in the morning, Mike and Amanda refuse to return to the hotel for breakfast, declaring 'If the room's not up to standard, the breakfast won't be either'. The feedback forms leave Del and Roy seeing red, having discovered more criticism than compliments, including Mike and Amanda saying that they wouldn't stay again. To which Del responds, 'Good...never darken my doorstep again'.
3x48 - The Meadowsweet Hotel, Llanrwst
July 11, 2012
Mary Haerr and her American husband Nelson welcome their guests to The Meadowsweet Hotel in Llanrwst, North Wales, where most of the guests are bowled over by their rooms. Mike and Amanda Daly, however, uncover a stain on their mattress and summon Mary, whose rapid response impresses. That afternoon, the hosts give their guests a taste of real Wales, by taking them sheep herding. But while they try to rustle sheep, tensions simmer when Irene berates Amanda about her refusal to stay at Del and Roy's on the last visit. The next morning, when Amanda moans about a bad night's sleep, tensions boil over, erupting into a row at breakfast. Thankfully for the hosts, despite the atmosphere, their Welsh breakfast hits the right note.
3x49 - Wold View House, Lincolnshire
July 12, 2012
It's the final visit of the competition, and Irene Ward-Kendall's Wold View House in Lincolnshire provides a homely welcome for most, but for Amanda and Mike Daly, it is not up to their usual military high standards. After coming to blows with Irene during their last stay, they are on a fault-finding mission and are immediately unimpressed. Irene tries to wow her guests with a trip to the Lincolnshire Wold Railway, and as the group ride through the countryside on a steam train, everyone's in high spirits until Irene makes a joke at Amanda's expense. Over a home-cooked dinner, Irene's unique presentation of the food divides opinions, prompting Amanda to declare she 'Wouldn't even feed it to her dog'. At the feedback, Irene is left fuming by Mike and Amanda's comments, saying 'They need to get a life.'.
3x50 - Payment Day, Week 10
July 13, 2012
It's decision day, and the group meet for the final time to find out what they've been paid and to settle any scores. Mike and Amanda Daly, who run Borrowby Mill, want to know how their military precision could have resulted in anything less than perfect scores. Del Cain and Roy Williamson from The Richmond House Hotel finally get to confront Mike and Amanda about refusing to stay their hotel, and when Nelson and Mary Haerr, owners of The Meadowsweet Hotel, go through their feedback, Mary ends up in tears. Finally, Irene Ward-Kendall from Wold View House challenges Mike and Amanda about their comments that she is OTT, which leads to another heated exchange before the cash-filled envelopes are opened to reveal who is the week's winner.
3x51 - Langland Road, Mumbles
July 16, 2012
Kicking off the competition is Langland Road in the Mumbles, where couple David Lewis and Giles Beaton take a modern approach to running their B&B. But not all the guests, like Ruth and Margaret Dugdall, can figure out what the high tech offerings are, and traditionalists Gordon and Sandra McCallum are more concerned by cobwebs and dust. Young bucks Edward Prophet and Rachel Pickup, despite being initially terrified, are in their element during the afternoon's session of tree-walking at Go Ape. When Gordon doesn't stay for the afternoon, the snub is noted. And when he refuses to eat breakfast, earns himself the nickname GG, meaning Grumpy Gordon. The feedback nearly leaves the hosts speechless.
3x52 - Castle Lodge Hotel, Felixstowe
July 17, 2012
For 24 years, Margaret Dugdall has run Castle Lodge Hotel in Felixstowe to exacting standards. To spice things up for her guests, Margaret and her daughter Ruth have left a clue to Ruth's secret identity as a modern-day Agatha Christie in the bedrooms. But ex-magician Ed Prophet dismisses the gesture as 'the most self-indulgent thing' he's ever seen, and he's not taken with the 'nursing home' décor either. Ed's on a mission to make 'grumpy' Gordon smile, and during a trip to groom some Suffolk Punch horses, plays some pranks that seem to do the trick. At breakfast, previous hosts David and Giles are left steaming when Ed decides to play waiter, and Margaret's unimpressed by suggestions to replace her wallpaper.
3x53 - Bryn Woodlands House, Colwyn Bay
July 18, 2012
Third hosts are self-confessed odd couple Gordon and Sandra McCallum, owners of Bryn Woodlands House in Colwyn Bay. Their new best mates Ed and Rachel are impressed with their digs, but mother and daughter Margaret and Ruth Dugdall find the decor leaves something to be desired. Gordon takes the group harness racing, and horse-fearing Ed worries about getting poo on his face, and then later discovers a snake in his bed. At breakfast, the guests overhear a stressed Gordon and Sandy getting heated in the kitchen, but it's Giles' problem with a bottle of ketchup that makes Gordon see red at feedback, declaring, 'where do these lads comes from?'.
3x54 - Tollemache Arms, Cheshire
July 19, 2012
The final B&B of the week is the Tollemache Arms in Cheshire, where 24-year-old all-round performer Edward Prophet, and fiancé Rachel Pickup, like to add some showbiz razzmatazz. Ed's scene stealing turns have already left some of the group dreading what's in store. But Ed and Rachel pull out all the stops to charm their guests, and over dinner, veteran B&B owner Margaret even gets emotional as the young hosts make her feel nostalgic. In the morning, there are great expectations for Ed's breakfast, but it turns into a comedy of errors as he loses control of his hob, ruins a dozen poached eggs and sets fire to his towel. 'It's not rocket science' says Giles, and a scrambled Ed is left hugging Rachel for comfort as the guests consider their verdict.
