However, at dinner, Bob reclaims pole position in the conversation stakes when he reveals he once lived in a cave. The following morning, it's Gaynor's turn in the spotlight and she's left fuming when guests Julia Ashley and Clare Ashmore put her through her paces with double orders for breakfast.

But it's at dinner when the guests are really bewildered, as Bob reveals his plans for tomorrow's breakfast. The next morning, the artist-in-residence is a no show and the DIY breakfast seems to have almost everyone getting into the communal vibe. Unfortunately for Bob, at feedback, his guests' feelings don't make for works of art.

May 8, 2014
The final visit of the week is to Chard, Somerset where Andrew and Clare Ashmore own the Ammonite Lodge guesthouse.

Next, conversation becomes heated when Outfields Farm owners Graham and Julia tackle Gaynor's complaints, and Georgie steps in to the hosts' defence. Artist Bob Osborne has a list of grievances he wants to address, and Julia is left cringing when her comments come back to haunt her.

But the lack of instructions for the state-of-the art gadgetry leaves guest Julie Brogan stumped.

The hosts want to sweeten the deal with an afternoon learning the art of making Blackpool rock, and the competitive juices get flowing as the Isle of Man B&Bs take on the mainland B&Bs. Next morning, Robbie and John present Fiona and John with a full English made entirely of Blackpool rock but it's not enough to distract Fiona from commenting on the mass market ingredients in the real breakfast. At check-out, the hosts are left wondering why Phil says he won't return again.
6x34 - Sheepy Lodge
May 22, 2014
The last visit of the week is to the grand Sheepy Lodge in Warwickshire where empty-nester Julie loves to fill her manor house with people - as long as they don't order poached eggs. Julie's rivals are gobsmacked by their surroundings, but Robbie and John Welling aren't thrilled with the lack of en-suite and old blu tack on their bedroom walls, while John and Fiona are shocked to find synthetic bedding. With rain stopping play outside, Julie decides on some old fashioned parlour games - so a fiercely fought session of hide and seek ensues. In the morning, Julie's forced to cook the dreaded poached eggs, and, as she panics, some of the guests think that she's too apologetic. Come check-out, some glowing feedback leaves Julie in tears but she believes the competition is too close to call.

Next, Phil Routledge from The Arches on the Isle of Man takes on Robbie and John Welling from the Trafford in Blackpool about their forensic investigation, but holds his hands up about the fact they stumbled upon his personal walk-in wardrobe. Next, Robbie and John want to get a straight answer from Phil on why he wouldn't be up for a return visit. The last host, Julie Brogan from Sheepy Lodge in the Midlands, discovers that she's more apologetic than she thought and realises that sorry is the hardest word for her guests to hear.

6x36 - Dunsandles Guest House
May 26, 2014
Owner Alan Johnson, and his best mate and professional sidekick Dave Owen, kick off the competition at Dunsandles Guest House in New Brighton, Merseyside. A scandal with some unwanted hair on Brock's sheets is not a good start though. That discovery is followed by an afternoon of ghost story telling and tales of egg-poaching at dinner. In the morning, Gina and Nick feel they're making an exhibition of themselves with a tea-trolley which is in full view of the neighbours.
6x37 - Lady Teal Hotel Boat
May 27, 2014
The second visit is to the Lady Teal Hotel Boat on the waterways near Burnley in Lancashire, owned by Nick and Gina Mead.

In the morning, Alan reveals his night of cabin fever.
6x38 - York House
May 28, 2014
Brock Bergius hopes his cheeky sense of humour and perfectionist nature will help make the guests' third visit of the competition, to York House in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, the winning one.

6x39 - Heyford House
May 29, 2014
