Four in a Bed is a popular British reality competition in which four sets of B&B and hotel owners road-test each other’s establishments in the quest to be named the best value for money.
Across the week of filming, each pair takes a turn to host, with their rivals paying what they feel the stay is truly worth. Honest feedback, mixed opinions, and the occasional clash make for gripping viewing, all culminating in the final reveal where the week’s winner is crowned.
In 2025, Hotel Penzance Harbour View was lucky enough to be chosen to take part in the Channel 4 series, with Hotel Penzance Collection, group manager, Louise Shaw, and hotel manager, Dagamara, taking part in the filming which will be shown on Monday 16th March 2026.
