Channel 4's hit show Four in a Bed left viewers gobsmacked as one duo revealed they slap a hefty £300-a-night price tag on their guest accommodation.

Nonetheless, it was Ashley and Winnie who ruffled feathers, disclosing their chalets came with the heart-stopping cost of £300 for an overnight stay.

Another griped about value for money: "Them ones doing the pod for £300 not even supplying cheapie breaky hamper," reports . Meanwhile, others simply couldn't believe their ears: "How much? Did they say £300 a night?".

Confusion reigned for another, who reiterated: "£300 a night - did I hear right?".

Attendees were equally captivated by the delectable cuisine, dishing out top marks for their efforts. Not missing a beat, Lee and Emma showed off a slice of Fife, treating their guests to an impressive Edwardian mansion tour, complete with its own lush green.

The duo scored big with viewers too, as cheers rang out from living rooms, one fan shared their two cents: "Overall I think this was a good value hotel, not a bad start."

Echoing the sentiment, another chimed in: "Place was nice and clean, brekkie was good. Early contender."
