Bed & Breakfast by the Beach, Bournmouth30m · The competition moves to Bournemouth, where owners John and Chris welcome their guests to the Bed & Breakfast by the Beach.

Lansbury, North Yorkshire30m · The owner of the Lansbury on the North Yorkshire coast competes. All the guests are keen to get stuck into having a good look around her rooms after falling victim to her criticism earlier in the week, and when her efforts at playing tour guide backfire, and her breakfast fails to impress, she is reduced to tears.▶14. Castle House, Denbigh, North Wales30m · The group's final destination is Charlie and Angie's Castle House in Denbigh, North Wales.
