- October 21, 2013
In season 5, episode 16 of Four in a Bed, the show visits The Black Lion, a charming 18th-century pub located in Long Melford, Suffolk. The pub is run by husband and wife team Darren and Hannah who pride themselves on providing guests with a cosy and comfortable stay in their traditional British pub.
The episode begins with the arrival of the first set of guests, mother and daughter duo, Karen and Gemma. The pair are immediately impressed with the character and charm of The Black Lion, with Karen particularly impressed with the pub's selection of real ales. The rooms are also a hit with the guests, with Karen particularly impressed by the comfortable beds and luxurious bedding.
Next up are Naomi and Phil, who run a rival pub in the area. They bring with them a large group of friends, which proves to be a bit of a challenge for Darren and Hannah, who struggle to keep up with the demand for food and drinks. However, despite the busy atmosphere, Naomi and Phil are impressed with the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of The Black Lion. The rooms receive mixed reviews, with some of the group finding them a bit dated, while others appreciate the traditional decor.
The third set of guests are father and son duo Paul and Scott. They are incredibly impressed with The Black Lion's food, praising both the quality and presentation of the dishes. However, they are less impressed with the pub's lack of facilities, such as a gym or swimming pool. The rooms also receive mixed reviews, with Paul enjoying the spaciousness of his room, while Scott is less impressed with the somewhat outdated decor.
Last but not least, the final set of guests, husband and wife team Lisa and Jim, arrive at The Black Lion. Lisa is initially put off by the traditional decor of the pub, but soon warms to the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Jim, on the other hand, is impressed with the history and character of the building. The rooms receive mixed reviews from the couple, with Lisa finding the bathroom a bit cramped, while Jim enjoys the spaciousness and comfort of the bed.
As the week progresses, tensions begin to rise between the guests and the hosts. Karen and Gemma become frustrated with the lack of food options on offer, while Naomi and Phil are disappointed with the lack of vegetarian options. Paul becomes frustrated with the hosts' lack of engagement with the guests, while Lisa is disappointed with the lack of facilities on offer.
At the end of the week, the guests all sit down together to discuss their stays at The Black Lion and to find out who will be crowned the winner of Four in a Bed. The scores are incredibly close, with only a few points separating the winner from the runner-up. Will Darren and Hannah's traditional British pub be crowned the winner of Four in a Bed?
