The competition kicks off at Wallamhill House B&B in Dumfries and Galloway, where owners Gordon and Margaret Hood are hoping their homely establishment will impress their guests. However, upon arrival Leanne Vickers doesn't want to cuddle up to the cuddly toys, and Glyn Bufton and Paul Chicken are left doubting the decor. Over dinner, there are surprises when host Gordon owns up to a need for speed, and guest Carole Kneen reveals her tearaway past. At breakfast, despite chef Margaret going AWOL, the home style cooking is a hit. At feedback time there are plenty of positives, leading the hosts to think they'll be the ones to beat.
