A once derelict Northumberland pub is celebrating record bookings after its joint win on Channel 4's Four In A Bed.
The Manor House Hotel in Haltwhistle has sold out for May, June and July since appearing on the popular daytime TV show, and owners Terry and Rachel Christie say that the rest of 2023 is filling up fast. It was a history-making week for the show, with two hosts pulling out before the end of the week, leaving Terry and Rachel to share the prize with Tom and Becky from Orchard Glamping in Garstang, Lancashire.
The hosts took their guests to Vindolanda Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall as part of their stay, and the other contestants praised the quality of the guest rooms, breakfast, and warm welcome at the Manor House. The 17th century pub and guest house was in a dilapidated state and faced closure before businessman Terry published it in 2018, who ploughed his life savings into it with the aim of transforming it into a high-quality gastro pub.
