The ever-competitive world of “Four in a Bed” descends upon Stratford-upon-Avon this Tuesday, bringing with it the usual mix of quirky B&Bs and opinionated owners. This episode introduces Jo and Annabel, who run Emerald Stays, a modern aparthotel hoping to charm their guests. But will Shakespeare’s hometown provide a stage for triumph or a backdrop for bed-and-breakfast-related bickering?
The episode follows the standard “Four in a Bed” format: B&B owners take turns hosting each other, judging everything from the quality of the breakfast to the thread count of the sheets. At Emerald Stays, it seems the self-catering facilities cause some head-scratching among the guests – to cook or not to cook, that is the question.
After an afternoon of Shakespearean dress-up, the feedback session takes a turn for the dramatic. Two guests liken their night’s sleep to “kipping in a rave,” a comment that’s sure to leave hosts Jo and Annabel less than pleased. As always, the real drama lies in the payment round, where underhanded tactics and score-settling are par for the course.
Which B&B will emerge victorious and claim the coveted “best value for money” title? Find out on Channel 4, Tuesday, March 18th at 5:00 PM.
