2Hillside HotelThe B&Bers take on a rope obstacle course suspended over open water in East Lothian.
3Bella Vista LodgeThe latest tour continues in Blackpool, where Paul and entertainer Victoria are keen to put on a show for the B&Bers at their Bella Vista Lodge. Will bingo and karaoke help Paul and Victoria to overcome their guests' preconceptions about the seaside town?
4North Star SanctumSimon and Lana host the week's final visit at North Star Sanctum in Fitling, East Yorkshire. The hosts look to lay on luxury with their lodges, so it's disheartening when one guest compares the place to a caravan park.
5Payment DayPayment Day sees the B&Bers take each other to task on everything from insufficient slumber to hopeless hosting, before the payments are revealed and we find out who's won.
6Laurel Bank HotelThe competition kicks off at the Laurel Bank Hotel in Fife. Owners Lee and Emma come out swinging during an afternoon at an Edwardian mansion complete with its own golf course.

9The Grays HotelGary and Chris host the week's final visit at The Grays Hotel in Blackpool. The B&Bers are pleasantly surprised by the colourful rooms, before Gary regales them with tales of his childhood during a tram tour along the seafront. Everything seems to be going well, until the guests find some issues at breakfast.
10Payment DayTension abounds on payment day, with a number of suspiciously low scores throughout the week on the agenda. When the dust settles and the payments are revealed, who'll emerge victorious?
11The Abergwaun HotelThis week's competition kicks off at the Abergwaun Hotel in Fishguard, Pembrokeshire. After a boat trip around the coast, owner Dan is quick to talk up his past career as a chef.
12Little London B&BCatherine and Gareth hope the serene setting of their Little London B&B in Powys will see them cruising to victory. But one set of guests feel left out in the cold when they're shunted out to a glamping pod in the garden and only offered a reduced menu for breakfast.
13Let's Glamp RetroThe third visit of the week sends the B&Bers back in time, as Mark and Dawn host at their Let's Glamp Retro glampsite in Ceredigion. The hosts are extremely proud of their nostalgic, music-themed glamping pods - but not everyone appreciates the period décor.

15Payment DayThe B&Bers have had a smorgasbord of short-stay selections to scrutinise throughout the week, from traditional, cosy B&B vibes to '70s-inspired glamping pods. As payment day dawns, it remains to be seen which offering will win the week.
16The FirsThe competition begins at The Firs in Perthshire, where the B&Bers visit a local castle, and low cleanliness scores prove a particularly sticky point for hosts Lindsay and Pauline.
17The National HotelThe B&Bers head north to Ross-shire, where Diogo and Rafael host at The National Hotel. They're hoping their traditional Scottish touches will have them on to a winner, but a peaceful night's sleep evades one set of guests.
18The Black Bull InnJanie and Paul host the third visit of the week at The Black Bull Inn in Dumfries and Galloway where the guests enjoy the deluxe touches, but a lavatory let down causes concern.
19Braeview GlampingThe B&Bers head to Morag and Jonny's Braeview Glamping in Berwickshire. A day out on the railway sees a head of steam building up beneath the guests' smiles as the tension of payment day looms, and the heat rises over the campfire as two sets of guests fail to see eye to eye.
20Payment DayAfter a tension-filled final visit, payment day promises to be a feisty affair. Cleanliness standards have been questioned throughout, and the B&Bers seem set to fight dirty when the debate starts.

24Stamford Meadows GlampingThe B&Bers sample the great outdoors for the week's final visit, at Sanath and Amelia's Stamford Meadows Glamping in Lincolnshire. The hosts hope their guests will embrace the bespoke touches at their luxury site. However, for one pair, the walk to the toilet facilities is a step too far.
25Payment DayThe B&Bers sample the great outdoors for the week's final visit, at Sanath and Amelia's Stamford Meadows Glamping in Lincolnshire. The hosts hope their guests will embrace the bespoke touches at their luxury site. But for one pair, the walk to the WC is a step too far.
26Westbrook Lodge Guest HouseThe week's first destination is Westbrook Lodge Guest House in Margate. The hosts hope their guests will like the animal-themed rooms, But they're not wild about the egg choices.
27The CasterbridgeVisit two of the week is to The Casterbridge in Dorchester where owner Noorani offers a classic English guest house with a Sri Lankan twist but some guests are concerned about the cleanliness.

30Payment DayAfter a week of dog poo diatribe, spicy omelettes and farm faux pas, the B&Bers meet one last time to have a big old row and find out who's won.
31Watergate YardThis week's competition kicks off at Watergate Yard in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, where hosts Ryan and Hollie hope their unique style will impress. One guest gives the cleanliness standards a dusting down - although what the rivals will make of a creepy afternoon looking at 15,000 mannequins remains to be seen.
32Birdholme GlampingMum and daughter Holly and Meg host the week's second visit at Birdholme Glamping in Nottinghamshire, where they aim to make glamping even more glam with some extra luxury touches, but the self-catering setup doesn't impress their guests.
33Holly Hill InnTom hosts the third visit of the week at Holly Hill Inn in Richmond, North Yorkshire. After a lot of bragging, expectations are high but it turns out his cleanliness scores aren't.
34Woodland Park Lakes HolidaysThe final visit of the week is to Woodland Park Lakes Holidays in Windermere, where it's all about location for host Brittany. The competition has already seen some tit-for-tat marking, and the B&Bers waste no time in trying to root out issues in their rooms. They're soon smiling when Brittany lays on an arty afternoon, though faces drop when it comes to the cost.
35Payment DayIt's been a fiery week, with all of the B&Bers unhappy with their feedback - especially considering barely anyone has said they would like to return to one another's establishments. Fireworks seem in prospect as they meet up one last time to go over their scores and find out who's won.
36Clachan Garden B&BThe competition kicks off at Clachan Garden B&B in the Scottish Highlands. Things get off on the wrong foot with a shoes-off policy, before an afternoon at the pottery wheel.

Graham hopes to inspire a spirit of adventure with an afternoon trying to track down the Loch Ness Monster. Unfortunately, Nessie proves a lot more elusive to find than furniture faults in the glamping pods.
38Cultybraggan CampSandie and Chloe host the week's third visit at Cultybraggan Camp in Perth and Kinross. They're hoping to give their guests an arresting stay at their site, which was used as a prisoner of war camp in the Second World War. The unique history of the place has the B&Bers enthralled, but at feedback time, the hosts struggle to sweep a barrage of cleanliness concerns under the carpet.
39Uplawmoor HotelThe week's final visit is to Uplawmoor Hotel near Glasgow, run by James and Neil. There are smiles all round during an afternoon of curling, but beneath the surface it seems some relationships between the B&Bers are on thin ice. Plus, a poor night's sleep for one pair leaves James and Neil feeling cranky about some of their scores.
40Payment DayIt's been a topsy-turvy week with some B&Bers delighted with their scores - and others not so much. After a little bit of a praise and a lot of moaning on payment day, it remains unclear as to who will emerge victorious.
41The Tiger InnThe week begins at the Tiger Inn in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, where a stay packed with outdoor pursuits and local delicacies has been laid on.
42Hill HouseThe B&Bers are in Bath for the week's second visit, at Hill House. Hosts Tina and Alex plunge their guests into the famous city's history. But parking problems and a big old climb to the hotel's hilltop location mean it doesn't hit the heights for everyone.
43Romney Marsh Shepherds HutsKristina and Hanne host the week's final visit, at Romney Marsh Shepherds Huts in Kent. The rural location, breathtaking views and a trip to a vineyard have the B&Bers toasting the trip but in the morning, a lack of variety in the breakfast box might hamper the hosts' chances.
