The competition starts in Nottinghamshire at The Clumber Park Hotel, where general manager Rajesh Saraf and his colleague Yuanee Tampoe believe all guests should be treated as gods. On arrival, Alison of Adhurst Yurts is blown away by the high level of cleanliness but perplexed by the amount of plastic packaging in her room, and Sam and Charlie of The Family Tree in Derbyshire feel short changed by the facilities. That afternoon host Rajesh takes his fellow B&Bers to a local riding school on the edge of Sherwood Forest where merriment is the order of the day. At breakfast, Rajesh's chefs pull out all the stops but it's Charlie's sausage causing the biggest reaction. Come feedback, Alison's cleanliness comments cause the most distress.
