The Laurel Bank Hotel in Markinch, Fife, recently gained high praise after its appearance on Channel 4’s Four in a Bed. Lee Murray, the hotel owner, expressed his delight with the results. The episode, which aired on Monday night, showcased the hospitality and services offered at the hotel.
Lee Murray, along with his assistant Emma Heard, received positive feedback from all six guests who stayed at the Laurel Bank Hotel. The guests expressed their intention to return for another stay, highlighting the exceptional hospitality and delicious breakfast provided during their visit.
The hotel received top scores for hospitality and breakfast, with a perfect 30 out of 30 points. Cleanliness and quality of sleep were also highly rated, scoring 29 and 27 out of 30, respectively. However, there was a minor setback when one guest rated the facilities at seven out of 10, citing issues with the TV height and wardrobe doors.
Lee Murray addressed the concerns raised by guests, stating that he would make adjustments to the window and noting that the TV height was suitable for guests seated on the sofa. Emma Heard mentioned that the wardrobe door design was a matter of personal preference.
The guests’ positive feedback extended beyond the hotel’s amenities, with many praising the warm and welcoming demeanor of Lee and Emma. They also commended the hotel for offering great value for money. As a special treat, Lee and Emma took their guests on a visit to the Hill of Tarvit mansion house and grounds.
In a pre-show interview with The Courier, Lee mentioned that the filming process took around three months, starting from February to June of the previous year. Despite not being a regular viewer of the show, Lee was excited to see how the hotel would be portrayed on television.
The episode also featured visits to other locations in Glasgow, Sunderland, and Blackpool, where Lee and Emma evaluated various aspects such as cleanliness, hospitality, and facilities. The follow-up episodes with the other competitors are yet to be aired, leaving viewers eager to see the final results of the competition.
Overall, the Laurel Bank Hotel’s success on Four in a Bed has not only showcased the quality of accommodation and services provided but also highlighted the warm hospitality and dedication of the staff, making it a top choice for future guests seeking a memorable stay in Fife.
