Four In A Bed Season 3 Episode 3 Series 3 Episode 3
Four in a Bed is a British reality television series that aired its third season on Channel 4 in the UK. Series 3 Episode 3 is an episode of the show where four pairs of B&B owners compete to be crowned the best value for money establishment. The episode takes place in North Wales and features four completely different establishments - a country house hotel, a secluded retreat, a converted chapel, and an eco-friendly B&B.
The competition kicks off with the first B&B, a luxurious country house hotel called Ruthin Castle Hotel and Spa. Owned by former army officer Anthony Saint Claire and his partner Brett, the hotel boasts a rich history and medieval decor that impresses the other contestants. The guests at Ruthin Castle are treated to a full breakfast that includes traditional Welsh dishes such as laverbread and cockles. However, some of the contestants feel that the hotel's grandeur means it lacks a homely feel.
Next up, the contestants travel to Llwynon in Betws-y-Coed, a secluded retreat owned by couple Lynne and Nigel. The stunning views from the accommodation leave a great first impression, but, the hosts' laid-back approach to the competition grates on some of the guests. The eclectic breakfast menu is received favorably by some, but others struggle with the unusual offerings.
The third B&B is Bron Erna Luxury B&B in Llanferres, which is owned by Bobbie and Rebecca. As the only 5-star establishment in the competition, the expectations from the other contestants are high. However, some feel that the rooms lack personality and character. The breakfast -- a simple but well-executed traditional Welsh affair -- is overshadowed by the lack of hot water in the guests' rooms in the morning.
The fourth and final B&B is Plas Maenan Country House in Llanrwst, a converted chapel owned by Sue and Mark. The charming decor featuring antique furnishings impresses the other contestants. Plas Maenan's breakfast menu features locally-sourced produce, but some of the guests feel that the portions are too small for their liking.
Throughout the competition, alliances are formed, and tensions rise as the B&B owners struggle to impress each other. The hosts participate in a variety of activities from archery and massages to fishing. The winner of the best value for money award is decided by the guests, who have to rate their stay on factors such as cleanliness, comfort, and hospitality. The prize for the winner is the coveted Four in a Bed plaque, which they can display in their premises.
