But one set of B&Bers baulk at the prices. The third visit is to the White Horse Inn in Ripon, Yorkshire managed by Dave and Jo Bate. Their basic rooms, and pub breakfasts don’t impress anyone, which upsets Dave. Last is the Old Farmhouse, Chester run by retired teachers Ed and Jane Mitchell. Dave’s out for revenge and Ian and Samantha find the rooms too dirty for their liking. At the final meeting, the B&B owners come face to face and there are accusations and tears as the payments and winner are revealed., The competition kicks off at Abbey House in Penrith, Cumbria, where Ian Sugden sees himself as the ‘brawn’ in the operation while his wife Sam, a part-time nurse, is the ‘brains’.
