Things get back on track in the morning, when a Spanish-themed breakfast has most of the guests raising a tostada to the great grub.
Shaun and Sarah invite the B&Bers to Silver Fern Glamping in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, where the idyllic rural setting and luxury shepherd huts prove popular - but that's nothing compared to how much everyone loves Lily and Lupin, the glampsite's resident miniature donkeys.

The week's final visit is to Helen and Carl's self-catering glampsite, Peacock Lake, in Nottinghamshire. The hosts' feedback has ruffled plenty of feathers throughout the week, so their guests' expectations are sky-high, and lavatory letdowns and smelly bedding don't make for happy glampers.

Unfortunately, Richard and Mick are less impressed by some cleanliness scores that they just can't brush off.

The week's final visit is to Cherry Tree Guest House in Bridlington on the East Yorkshire coast, where hosts Simon and Carol are nervous about being judged by their peers.

Nick hosts the week's third visit at Impossible Motel in the centre of York, where he offers a range of quirky rooms including 'rock star' suites complete with hot tubs and an eyebrow-raising dungeon room with a bed on chains.

Two hosts decide upon an all-guns-blazing approach to payment day, knowing full well that they've vastly underpaid everyone. With allegations of game playing and dishonest marking flying like bullets in a warzone, it's quite the tension-filled affair - and no one's getting out unscathed.

The new run continues. Visit three of the week is to County Antrim, where June and Stevie host at Ballylough House.

June and Stevie share some ghost stories over drinks in the evening, but find themselves spooked by some low scores in the feedback.
The new run continues. Neil and Rush host the week's final visit, at The Wylies B&B in Lisburn.

But breakfast is less opulent, with cold eggs proving to be a real turn-oeuf.
The new run continues. Payment day looms for the B&Bers, as they finally find out what they've been paid and who's won. But not before they've bickered about breakfasts, scolded each other's scores and clashed over cleanliness, obviously.

The new run continues. Harry and Sarah hope to wow their guests with their recently renovated pub The Royal Oak in Hawkhurst, Kent. Unfortunately, the style doesn't match one B&Ber's standards.

The new run continues. The B&Bers head to Tiddington in Oxfordshire for the week's third visit, where Dawn hosts at her country pub, The Fox & Goat. The facilities seem to be flawless, leaving one guest determined to find some faulty furniture. There's another historic afternoon out, this time with a tour around Blenheim Palace. All that walking should have the B&Bers knackered and ready for bed - so why does one of them have such a restless night?
The new run continues. The final visit of the week is to No 64 at the Joiners in West Malling, Kent. Host Ollie hopes that his French-styled B&B will have that je ne sais quoi to win the competition.

The new run continues. This week's competition kicks off at Blackfriars in Inverness, where Dean and his daughter Chelsie reckon the premium location will pay dividends - even though their guests all baulk at the prices right from the off. There's a wealth of attention to detail during an afternoon of crafting, but two B&Bers note that that quality is severely lacking in their room, which leads to some very strong words from Dean at feedback time.
The new run continues. Singer Marilyn and her mum Agnes host the week's second visit at Bogenraith House in Aberdeenshire, where they're hoping to hit the high notes. But Dean and Chelsie are still smarting from their own feedback and aren't in a forgiving mood about the cleanliness.

The new run continues. Father-and-daughter team Steve and Elise host the week's first visit, at 35 Main Street in Pembrokeshire. They're relative rookies in the B&B biz, but they're hoping no one will notice that after a visit to a local brewery. And with 'the best chef in Pembrokeshire' in their kitchen, they reckon they'll be cantering to victory.
The new run continues. For the week's second visit, Anjana and David are aiming to get their guests to branch out at Chillderness, their unique off-grid accommodation in Powys, complete with tree-top accommodation. Alas, the outdoor toilets mean some of the B&Bers are far from keen to lay down roots. And although everyone has a hoot on a trip to meet some birds of prey, the self-catering breakfast leads to some unsavoury feedback.
The new run continues. At Redberth Gardens in Tenby, hosts Carys and Rhys get off to a flyer thanks to the facilities at their glampsite, which include hot tubs, cinema screens and outdoor table football. But tensions soon emerge during a trip to the zoo, as two B&Bers can't help but revisit past comments.
The new run continues. The final visit of the week is to Barmouth in Gwynedd, at Tanya and Gary's Bae Abermaw B&B. They're hoping their incredible views will put them in sight of the winner's plaque - but it's the vista looking into the room rather than out that doesn't delight one set of guests. Can an impressive display at breakfast turn things around?

The new run continues. Mum and daughter Mandy and Elly host the week's second visit at Devon Heaven Hideaways, where they offer a touch of bliss at their plush glampsite.

The new run continues. For visit three of the week, the B&Bers head to Ceredigion, where married couple Stuart and Amy offer a great big slice of vintage Americana at their Tin Can Retreat. Stuart and Amy get everyone revved up with an afternoon of electric biking, but are left eating dust after some cleanliness complaints in their feedback.
The new run continues. Steve and Mandy host the week's final visit at The Thorverton Arms in Devon. Their classic country pub seems to put a smile on everyone's faces - until things get hairy for one pair. Can a belly-busting breakfast swing things back in the hosts' favour?
The new run continues. Payment day brings with it a chance to debate that most sacrilegious of all B&B faux pas - a short and curly in the bedsheets.
The new run continues. This week's competition kicks off in Dorset, where hosts Philip and Jimmy hope to serve up a stay for the ages at their 17th-century country inn, the Fox and Hounds.

Will a ramble in the local countryside help Philip and Jimmy walk back into contention?
The new run continues. Matthew and Moira host the week's second visit at their Milberry Green Meadows glampsite in Surrey. Despite some excellent first impressions, the great outdoors soon leave one pair longing for the great indoors. And then the breakfast hamper hacks somebody off.
The new run continues. The B&Bers head to The Lord Bute in Dorset for the week's third visit, where former Mayfair chef Bradley and his right-hand man Ryan hope their guests will agree that their offering deserves five stars. But following Bradley's eggstravagant eggspressions of his eggstensive culinary eggsperience throughout the week, everyone's eggspecting an eggsceptional breakfast. So the hosts aren't eggsactly thrilled when one eggsasperated guest returns his... eggs.
The new run continues. The last visit this week is to The Pocklington in the heart of Leicester, hosted by mum and son Prity and Kyle. The B&Bers' arrival doesn't exactly go smoothly though, with parking problems putting the brakes on Prity and Kyle's chances. At least they've got a plan to take their guests' minds off their vehicular vexation - an afternoon of driving...
The new run continues. Cleanliness has been top of the agenda for most of this week's competition. So the B&Bers will be keen to give each other a good dusting down on payment day.
The new run continues. The competition begins at Lodge Duxford in Cambridgeshire, where hosts Lucy and Craig hope their boutique hotel will tick all the boxes.

The new run continues. Jo and Annabel welcome the B&Bers to their modern aparthotel Emerald Stays in Stratford-upon-Avon, where the guests ponder whether to use or not to use the self-catering facilities.

The new run continues. Karen and Adrian stake a claim for being the busiest B&Bers in Four in a Bed history at The Barn in North Yorkshire - a B&B, village shop and post office all rolled into one.

The new run continues. The B&Bers are in the Ribble Valley for the week's second visit, at Jack's Little Middop Farm.

The new run continues. Phil and Gil host the week's third visit at Old Hall Country Breaks in Norfolk. The attention-to-detail at their self-catering accommodation gets the seal of approval from all of their guests, Phil and Gil keep them sweet with a chocolatier experience in the afternoon, and the breakfast hampers are bountiful. But will the extras add up when it comes to payment?
The new run continues. Keighly and Justin host the week's final visit at The Half Moon Inn in Norfolk.

In the rooms Marie finds what she thinks is urine and hair on the toilet seat and a lack of Wi-Fi means Billy Junior has to put his business on hold. Yvonne lives up to her quirky reputation by taking her guests to a local reptile house but serious divisions start to bubble up within the group. At dinner tensions rise again when Marie admits she travels with her own pillow, which ruffles more than just feathers. Next morning, a delay in the kitchen and overcooked scrambled eggs lead to a disastrous breakfast for Michael.

On arrival Neal and Mike are wowed by the five star self-catering accommodation, complete with hot tubs and lakeside views, but the others think the 'luxury' breakfast hamper is anything but. An afternoon of dog agility proves Marianne's bossiness doesn't work on animals and over dinner her domineering conversation causes Jackie to finally snap.

Come feedback Marianne is unimpressed by some of the scores, and promises to go in all guns blazing to payment day.
