After receiving harsh reviews from their fellow competitors on Channel 4's Four in a Bed Jane and Sharon, the owners of Plas Maenan Country House in Conwy confronted the winner about his tough criticism. Jane and Sharon were left very shocked when two out of their three guests said they would not want to stay at Plas Maenan Country House again.
In the results episode where Jane and Sharon, Gemma and Mark, who run Burton Constable Holiday Park in Yorkshire, Claire and Jessica, who run Derwent House Apartments in Scarborough, and Steven who runs The Crossing Inn in Cumbria found out who had won there were some tense conversations. Ultimately Steven won, he even became emotional when Gemma and Mark paid five pounds extra for their stay, however, he was very critical of Plas Maenan Country House.
He complained about the paint in the bathroom, saying it was peeling away, he said: "As a five-star property the standard of maintenance just needs a little bit of looking into". Although Jane agreed with this criticism, saying Steven was "absolutely right" and it was "not acceptable" she later added: "I do think he exaggerated slightly because I went straight in and had a look and it was a relatively small area".
