Four in a Bed

Whilst I often watch this programme unfortunately virtually all the B&B's just do not take criticism well & they all think that they have the best place for a stay, few can cook a simple breakfast to everyone's liking, some of the accommodation charges are ridiculously high even whilst they think there prices are competitive...doh!

I've stayed in many places over one to two nights, some of which I would not choose to stay in again, the worst (I'm not going to state here) was really disgusting, owned by a big brand name to, dirty & stained all over the room! Whilst the program has highlighted the odd place where I would choose to stay I do find it annoying that they visit Blackpool so often (personally I don't like the town) it has nothing to offer me I'm afraid.

4 in a bed is entertaining but has its limits, I wonder how many of those owners actually act on the criticisms after watching themselves on the individual episodes some of them need to get out of their bubbles, it may be a competition but many play a game just to try & win, marking down or paying less than the going rate and not really backing-up some of their reasonings/excuses.

It's often highlighted that those owning a clamping site need to do far more if they should wish to charge the prices that they do for an overnight stay (you could fly to another country for some of there 'rates)

Personally I never choose to stay in someone else's house, more often than not it would be a pub type of accommodation or guest house type. Charging extra for a breakfast takes away the meaning of what the programme is partly about...grrr. I have actually seen a couple of owners on the show that actually used to live in my area but I would call that 'a claim to fame' lol. The idea of this 'reality type programme is quite a good one for several insight reasons of course.

I think that that is all I have to say on this review but this form keeps telling me it requires more words ffs.

Having watched all of these shows, I can say with confidence 99% of the Blackpool wins have come about through cheating. There's been just one show where Blackpool deserved to win. Come on Blackpool, stop disgracing yourselves and play fair & square! Or here's an idea, put all the Blackpool B&Bs up against each other and let them fight unfairly amongst one another... that I would love to watch.

My partner and I watch this on a regular basis (most episodes are available on the Channel 4 website to catch up easily). We love all the drama and funny criticisms that come up about breakfasts. Although the camera always seems to linger a little too long on dirty items such as toilet brushes. Nobody wants to see that!

Watching it makes me crave a fry up every time haha.

Give this show a try. You will find yourself getting really into it, and feeling frustrated at annoying contestants, willing them to lose.

I really love this show and have a friend in the united kingdom i watch with. Every time i watch i say there is one change i would make. I would let contestansts see the scores but not the feedback that is left. They would not be able to really guess who left what scores without the feedback so would make the game more neutral.

Sometimes the contestants make me mad when they can not believe so and so said this but they do the same thing. I think by hiding the feed back would change the whole game. You would still have the drama as the hosts would want to know who scored what but they would not be able to guess as easily.

I loved to watch this show. Some of the contestants make me want to tear my hair out, they are so rude and critical. They have any issue with the tiniest thing. A hair in the bed, I'm sorry but a hair can fall out just as you turn to leave the room, get over it. A cobweb isn't the end of the world and there's a big difference between dusty and dirty.

Also if I go to a B&B. I want a clean comfortable room with a comfortable bed and a good breakfast. I do not want or need my hosts to entertain me, nod do I want then constantly hanging around. If I need something I will ask for it.

It's ridiculous to have your hosting marked down on how you entertain your clients or because you are constantly hovering around the breakfast table.

Also these people book in as individuals/couples but complain if there is a delay in not serving them breakfast together. It should be on a first come first served basis as it would be if they were regular guests coming down to breakfast at different times.
