Wakes Hall Lodges

Overview

The final visit of the week is to Wakes Hall Lodges near Colchester, where manager Marianne Cammack and housekeeper, Deina Thomas, think the only way is luxe. On arrival Neal and Mike are wowed by the five star self-catering accommodation, complete with hot tubs and lakeside views, but the others think the 'luxury' breakfast hamper is anything but. An afternoon of dog agility proves Marianne's bossiness doesn't work on animals and over dinner her domineering conversation causes Jackie to finally snap. The guests join forces to make breakfast for themselves, but the lack of a chef, and limited ingredients, is not a recipe for success. Come feedback Marianne is unimpressed by some of the scores, and promises to go in all guns blazing to payment day.
