00:25Today, the lid is lifted
00:27That's absolutely smart, that's perfect
00:29As they battle
00:31We haven't had any negative feedback yet
00:34Touch wood
00:35To be named best value for money
00:37We got great house
00:39Were you expecting that seriously?
00:41Oh dear, I have more faith in us
00:51The second visit of the week is to York in North Yorkshire
00:55And Clementine's Guest House
00:57Run by besties Laura Johnson and Lucy Neville
01:00A pair who want the final word
01:03Lucy does love a chatter
01:05Obviously we want to chat to all of our guests
01:07But you know, you don't need to get their entire life history always
01:12Yeah, I do talk a lot
01:14It's a plus or minus
01:17Guests looking for the gift of the gab
01:19Can pick from 27 rooms or a lodge
01:21For up to £233.10 per night
01:25Including breakfast
01:26And have a stay that's one of a kind
01:29Every single room here does have its own style
01:31Everything is top standard
01:33We really do offer something
01:35Much more
01:36Much more individual
01:37And memorable
01:38We're like a little hidden gem
01:40And for this pair
01:41It's all about wanting more
01:43My main goal is
01:45I love a returning customer
01:47I would be very surprised
01:49If people didn't want to stay again
01:51Because what we offer here
01:52Why would you not want to?
01:55About to arrive
01:56Are today's first guests
01:58Bray, bray, bray
01:59Do you have to get so near
02:00The front of that
02:01Back of that car?
02:02Who's driving?
02:03Me or you?
02:04Well, debatable
02:05Debatable
02:06Coming in hot
02:07Our married couple
02:08Simon and Carol Bray
02:10Owners of Cherry Tree Guest House
02:12In Bridlington
02:13East Riding of Yorkshire
02:15Last time out over breakfast
02:17Lucy and Laura spilled the beans
02:20We are actually a boutique guest house

02:24Wow

02:26And today
02:28Simon and Carol
02:29Are all over the shop
02:31The word boutique
02:32I mean
02:33I wonder if it's going to be sort of
02:34I think quite quirky
02:35Flamboyant
02:36Ooh
02:37I like flamboyant
02:38Four poster beds
02:39Ooh
02:40That would be nice

04:00I started in hospitality at the age of 13
04:03No other industry offers you a different day every day
04:07So today Johnny and Sasha are expecting the job lot
04:11High expectations

04:47Jonny and Sasha ready to chill
04:49Today's final guests are clowning around
04:51What did Plumber say to his wife when he was leaving her?
04:54It's overflow
04:59Playing for laughs
05:00Are brothers Richard and Mick Fletcher
05:02Of the George Inn in Tideswell Derbyshire
05:05When they hosted last time
05:07Hello welcome to the George
05:09Despite a sunny start
05:11Well this is a nice bright room
05:13Oh it's actually really comfy
05:15Fresh milk fresh juice
05:17Hey
05:18Carol's milk
05:19They knew he was coming
05:20They knew he was coming
05:21On closer inspection
05:22Things got spicy
05:23What's your thoughts on
05:24Oh no
05:25On all the staining up there
05:26What is that?
05:27It looks like curry
05:28Sizeable stain there
05:30No that's quite bad
05:31That's like a cigarette burn or something I think
05:33On the mattress
05:34Yeah it's on the mattress
05:35Oh dear
05:36So come feedback
05:37How clean was the George Inn?
05:39The guests dished the dirt
05:41So overall
05:42I think it's a six
05:43A six
05:44Probably a five
05:45Five there
05:46Which is a cause for concern
05:48Today
05:49Richard and Mick
05:50Are looking to wipe the floor
05:51With the competition
05:54Bearing in mind
05:55Some of the feedback
05:56We had over
05:57The room cleanliness
05:58I'm expecting
05:59Room wise
06:00We're going to walk into somewhere
06:01That's as pristine
06:02As an operating theatre

07:20Second stay
07:21Here
07:22Last time we had a lovely stay in the main house
07:24All good reviews
07:25You really just look at it do you?
07:27It's absolutely spotless
07:28You know you're not going to find anything
07:29No
07:30Absolutely anything
07:31I don't do this normally to be fair like
07:33And do you know what?
07:34That's absolutely spotless

07:41Oh that's cool intent
07:42That's really cool
07:43Lovely
07:44Look how big the shower is
07:45Room inspections almost over
07:47Richard and Mick are pleased with the porcelain
07:50This is just how we expected it
07:51Absolutely perfect
07:52Yeah
07:53Yeah
07:54Johnny and Sasha drop in
07:55Oh
07:57Is it raining?
07:58Sorry
07:59It's like having a child
08:01And Simon and Carol are bedding in
08:03This is lovely
08:04This is lovely
08:05Come on, cup of tea, off you go
08:06Yes my lady
08:15People born in York are sometimes dubbed Yorkies
08:18Just like the puddings said to hail from the area
08:21And today hosts Laura and Lucy are hoping to sweeten their guests up
08:26With a trip to a museum dedicated to chocolate
08:30Oh I'm expecting to see chocolate
08:32And there might be a shop at the end of it
08:34Or freebies
08:35Discounted freebies
08:36Free freebies
08:37No
08:38Freebies
08:39Chocolate was first made in York in the 18th century
08:43And York's chocolate story is an interactive exhibition giving a flavour of the trade's history
08:49Come on in, you've got to come down this way for me
08:52And once inside, it's over to guide Rachel
08:55So this here is the grocery shop of a man called Joseph Roundtree Senior
09:00But it's actually his kids Joseph and Henry we're interested in
09:04Together they make their very first bar of chocolate
09:07So I've got a little tribute to that early bar of chocolate here for you guys
09:12There we go
09:13Thank you
09:14It's a little bit gritty in texture
09:16They are cocoa nibs that we've added to recreate the texture
09:19But back then it was because they didn't mix it for long enough
09:22We have a warning next time
09:24What do we think of the sample?
09:25Did we enjoy it?
09:26Yeah
09:27Thoroughly enjoyed it
09:30I thought the young lady doing the presentation was extremely good
09:33It was quite captivating from minute one
09:36It was something I'd like to bring my daughter back to like that
09:38Yeah, definitely
09:39With history going down a treat
09:41Grab yourselves a square of chocolate
09:43The guests are trained to taste chocolate like a pro
09:46The first thing you're going to do is you're just going to look at it
09:49Wiggle it about, she'll kind of glint back at you
09:52So shiny
09:53So nice shiny chocolate means it's got a lot of cocoa butter in and it's really good quality
09:57Next you guys are going to listen to your chocolate
10:00Can you hear the C?
10:01Can you hear the C?
10:03Oh, half of the C
10:04No, I'm joking
10:05Instead, with one hand you're going to hold your nose
10:08You're going to pop a bit of chocolate in your mouth
10:10Hold your nose
10:11It should kind of enhance the flavour
10:13It certainly does intensify the flavour and sort of really accentuate the cocoa
10:18Makes it sweeter
10:19Makes it sweeter, that's a good one, yeah
10:22We were a little bit nervous
10:24Some of the feedback we gave Richard and Mick wasn't all that positive
10:27But they seem to have just completely taken it in their stride
10:30I don't think that anybody ought to feel awkward
10:33Part of being professional is you can give somebody an opinion without fooling out with them
10:37With relations hitting a sweet spot
10:40The group are invited to decorate chocolate lollies
10:43Got a bit of an yang going on
10:45Oh, hello
10:47What's going on here?
10:49Lick my fingers afterwards
10:51And with lollies licked
10:53Mission accomplished
10:54Don't start eating it yet
10:56I'm on it, I'll tell you
10:57I'm already halfway down with it in my mind
10:59Johnny's confectionery creates competitor comparisons
11:03Don't know whose face is that?
11:05No one's got dark hair, so it's no one
11:08What are you trying to say over there?
11:10Nothing
11:12Johnny's was really quite funny when he did a face on his
11:15Realising now that he's very, very witty
11:17Definitely getting to see that a bit more
11:19Yeah
11:20And with the tour coming to an end
11:22Delish
11:23One pair are looking forward to a taste of the hosts
11:26It's been a really good afternoon, isn't it?
11:28Yeah
11:29I'm looking forward to drinks tonight
11:30It will be really good to get down to business
11:32And find out how the girls work and how their model operates
11:35Because they look quite a seamless team, don't they?
11:37Yeah
11:45The second visit of the week is to York, North Yorkshire
11:48And Clementine's Guest House
11:50Where tonight hosts Laura and Lucy have invited their guests
11:53To the lounge for a drink
11:55Welcome to Clementine's everybody
11:57Cheers
11:58A little cheers
11:59Cheers
12:00Cheers
12:01Cheers
12:02And with tipples toasted, Mick kicks off the conversation
12:05What's your background of this place?
12:06How long have you been here?
12:08So this hotel was originally called Marmaduke's
12:11It looked quite different back then, didn't she?
12:13But we were both here for a number of years
12:15Yeah
12:16Yeah
12:17In that iteration of the building
12:19And then it was redesigned and reopened as Clementine's in 2019
12:23I have to say, you have done a beautiful job of it
12:26Cheers, lovely
12:27The place is stunning
12:28Well, just before we take all the credit for that
12:30It was a designer
12:31There was an interior design team
12:33But it's completely like what we envisaged
12:35So, are you actually the owners?
12:37We're not the owners
12:39Previously, Lucy was the general manager
12:41And then I've been the general manager here for about a year now
12:44Lucy is now working at a different property owned by the same gentleman
12:48Right
12:49But we do still work closely
12:50She'll come and help me on days I need help
12:52I'll go help her
12:53We're really hoping we're doing him proud here
12:55Yeah
12:56I'm sure you're doing him proud
12:57Let's hope so
12:58Otherwise we're unemployed
12:59There's obviously a real mutual respect between the owners and them as managers
13:05Laurel and Lucy are really nice people
13:07Yeah
13:08Very relaxed
13:09Just lovely people
13:10Yeah
13:11Richard wants the inside scoop
13:13You guys have clearly been in hospitality a long, long time
13:17Have you got any particularly funny stories?
13:19Erm, talk about when you climb through a window
13:22So I was working on an evening shift on my own
13:26To lock myself out, as you do
13:28When I thought, right, well, that's okay
13:31Because I know there's a window round here that you can jimmy a bit
13:34I had to climb on a few random items I found in the garden to get through the window
13:39Rolled off a chest of drawers
13:41Smacked onto the floor
13:43And then stood up and realised there was a couple sat at the bar having a glass of wine
13:50Did they wave at you?
13:51Hi
13:54It's very obvious that Lucy and Laura, apart from being extremely effective colleagues
14:00Are good friends, lovely people
14:02You couldn't ask for anything more than that
14:04Hot hospitality hitting the spot
14:07Laura wants to know what makes everyone else stand out
14:10We would describe ourselves here as a boutique guest house
14:13Is there a little clue you could give us to how you would describe your businesses as a title?
14:19We would class ourselves as a small but traditional seaside desk house
14:25At the higher end of that style
14:27We love a seaside resort
14:29Who doesn't love a seaside resort?
14:31Yeah
14:32So ours is a country retreats
14:34All about escaping busy lives, relaxation, reconnecting
14:38As long as it's not a tent
14:40No it's not
14:41No
14:42You lucky people are going to be in the Shepherd's Huts and Bothy
14:44Sounds fantastic
14:45My type of holiday
14:47I am going to embrace this experience
14:50I'm going to pack ahead to ensure I'm full glamping ready
14:55Drink's done, it's all off to bed
14:59This is the bed I've been waiting for for the last 10 hours
15:02And if you snore, you're out in that corridor
15:05Good night
15:06Love you
15:07Love you too
15:08It's a sunny start in York
15:15Where Johnny and Sasha have had a super slumber
15:18Did you sleep well last night?
15:20Yeah
15:21I slept lovely, it was really comfy
15:23Over in the main building, breakfast prep is underway
15:26This now is the finale of what we would do
15:29And we generally excel at this anyway
15:31Our breakfast really is a beautiful experience
15:33I think they will really enjoy it
15:36And with everyone seated
15:38Good morning everybody
15:39Morning
15:40Good morning
15:41Laura is poised with the pad
15:42So, can I, I'll start at this side
15:45What would you like?
15:46Full English please
15:47No problem
15:48Can I get the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs?
15:50Lovely
15:51And could I take the sliced avocado please?
15:54Fabulous
15:55Thanks Laura
15:56Thank you
15:57And with orders in
15:58Full English and avocado, eggs, Benny and smoked salmon
16:02The guests muse reviews
16:04There's a guest book in the room
16:06So I was looking through that earlier
16:07And just wondering how everybody here reacts to guests' feedback
16:11We always take feedback seriously
16:13You always want to find ways to improve
16:15Yeah
16:16We haven't had any negative feedback yet
16:20Touch wood
16:21There may slightly be a stroke of luck in there
16:23Because I think the more people you've had through the door
16:26You are going to get people who are difficult to
16:29You might get a little bit of green-eyed monster
16:31Yeah, you will sometimes get comments from competitors
16:34Hopefully we're not their first bad review
16:36Reviews reviewed
16:38Are the full Englishes good to go?
16:39Yes
16:40Thank you so much
16:41Food is on the move
16:43Oh, that looks wonderful, thank you
16:45Fantastic, thank you
16:46Here we are
16:47Just watch this plate, it's a little hot
16:49Thank you, Laura
16:50Well, lovely
16:51Enjoy, thank you
16:52Thank you very much
16:53Oh, look at that, that's perfect
16:55Fantastic
16:58The eggs are amazing
16:59The smoked salmon's top-notch as well
17:01It is, it's really fresh
17:02It's all really good
17:03Can't fault it
17:04Breakfast was delicious
17:05Really well presented
17:06To tell it was quality ingredients
17:08Really, really nice
17:09Everything on my plate is of really high quality
17:12First rate
17:14Breakfast was superb
17:15A faultless experience
17:16And a really nice breakfast to move
17:18How did you find your stay?
17:20Do you think you're good value for money?
17:21Yeah
17:22Yeah, everything's on point
17:23It's definitely a high-end establishment
17:25For a special occasion I think it's
17:27It is a special place
17:28It's special
17:29Oh, absolutely
17:30It's worried that they're going to come and visit us
17:32Because they might not like what we do
17:34I think we could say that our establishment is almost like
17:37The poor man's Clementine
17:39Breakfast finished
17:41It's time for the guests to get stuck into the anonymous feedback forms
