Ah, “Four in a Bed.” The reliable source of passive-aggressive breakfast critiques and questionable duvet choices returns. This week, the competition descends upon The Queen’s Head Inn in Northamptonshire, run by B&B newbies Simon and Harriet. They’re banking on their “old-school village pub” charm to woo the competition, but early whispers suggest the breakfast bacon might not be up to snuff. Can they overcome a crispy pork predicament?
The format, as always, is simple: B&B owners stay at each other’s establishments, judge their stay, and then haggle over what they deem a fair price. It’s a recipe for interpersonal drama seasoned with budget-conscious bickering. Will Simon and Harriet’s traditional approach win hearts (and wallets), or will they be underpaid and undervalued? The Queen’s Head Inn looks lovely enough, but this is “Four in a Bed,” where compliments are as rare as fully cooked eggs.
This episode is part of a fresh batch of “Four in a Bed” airing this week on Channel 4. Tune in to witness the inevitable arguments over teabags, the strategic underpayment of invoices, and the occasional genuine moment of hospitality. After all, somebody has to win the coveted title of best value B&B, even if it’s usually by default.
“Four in a Bed” airs Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at 5:00 PM on Channel 4.
