Alston House

Kicking things off in this new competition are Michael and Carole Allchorne, who are brimming with confidence at Alston House in Cumbria. But in the rooms, things get hairy for Marie Lock from Scotia House in Harrogate, while Yvonne Copeland and Gail Wells from Canberra House in Blackpool are less than impressed with the dÚcor. During an afternoon with the local sheep farmer, Billy Robertson and his son Billy Junior from The Crown and Kitchen in East Linton show themselves as live wires. At dinner, Yvonne reveals her talent for astrology. Next morning, the guests are impressed with chef Michael's breakfast but come feedback, the hosts are left reeling by the criticisms levelled at their hotel.
