Can a country pub with seemingly perfect facilities withstand the ruthless scrutiny of seasoned B&B owners? Wednesday’s “Four in a Bed” sets the stage for a showdown at The Fox & Goat in Tiddington, Oxfordshire, where host Dawn welcomes her fellow competitors with open arms, or at least, politely gritted teeth.
While the pub exudes charm, one guest seems determined to find fault, focusing their laser-like attention on the furniture. Will a slightly off-kilter chair leg or a questionable cushion pattern derail Dawn’s chances of victory? The high-stakes game of finding flaws is always a spectator sport, and this episode looks set to deliver.
Beyond the nitpicking and passive-aggressive compliments, the contestants venture out for a tour of the majestic Blenheim Palace. It’s a grand setting for a day trip, though whether the historic surroundings will offer a respite from the simmering tension back at the B&B is uncertain. One guest even reports a restless night, a potential blemish on Dawn’s otherwise pristine record.
This is the third visit of the week in this new run of “Four in a Bed,” and the competition remains fierce. As always, the B&B owners will evaluate each other’s establishments and pay what they consider a fair price, with the ultimate aim of being crowned the best value for money. Can The Fox & Goat hold its own? Tune in to find out.
“Four in a Bed” airs Wednesday, February 5, 2025, on Channel 4.
