Four In A Bed Season 3 Episode 4 Series 3 Episode 4
Series 3 Episode 4 of Four in a Bed takes place in the picturesque town of Betws-y-Coed, North Wales. Four B&B owners compete against each other to try and secure the coveted title of being the best value for money accommodation. This episode showcases the uniqueness of each of the four establishments and the personalities of their owners.
First up is The Royal Oak, an old coaching inn situated at the heart of the town. It's owned by Jill and Aled who pride themselves on serving local produce in their restaurant. Their main attraction is their award-winning pies, which have won numerous accolades over the years. The rooms are decorated in a traditional style and some of them even have four-poster beds. The guests have mixed reviews about the rooms and the fairness of the scoring system is questioned early on in the show.
Next is The Ferns Guest House, owned by Kathryn and Declan. This is a Victorian villa that has been renovated to a high standard. The guest rooms are individually styled, ranging from shabby chic to contemporary. The guests are impressed with the luxurious bathrooms, comfy beds and the attention to detail. However, one guest finds fault with the lack of a reception area and the hosts are criticized for their slightly awkward conversation skills.
The third B&B is Swallow Falls Hotel, run by Mark and Donna. It's a large hotel that boasts a prime location, overlooking the famous Swallow Falls. This hotel is different from the previous two in that the guests are able to use the spa facilities, which include a sauna, steam room, and hot tub. The rooms are spacious and modern with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The guests are impressed with the extravagant breakfast buffet and the entertainment they receive during their stay. However, some feel that the hotel is too big and impersonal, and there are questions raised about the cleanliness.
The final establishment is the quirky Swn-y-Dwr, owned by Nigel and Sharon. This is a converted schoolhouse that combines original features with modern touches. The rooms are comfortable and funky, with interesting artwork and unusual decor. The standout feature of this B&B is the honesty bar, which allows guests to help themselves to drinks and snacks and write down what they've taken. The hosts are praised for their hospitality, but there are some concerns about the lack of privacy in the bathrooms and the small size of the rooms.
As the week progresses, tensions rise amongst the group as they all try to outdo each other with their breakfast offerings and evening activities. One owner is accused of not being completely truthful about their business, leading to an awkward confrontation. Another owner feels they've been unfairly marked down due to the personal opinions of some of the other guests.
At the end of the week, each B&B owner reveals how much they've charged for their rooms and the winner is announced. The winner not only gets bragging rights but also a coveted plaque to display in their establishment.
