Alex Polizzi is on the Lincolnshire coast to help couple Mark and Liz who have recently taken on Sea Air Bed & Breakfast, a seven-bedroom 1930s former hotel with breakfast room in the seaside village of Chapel St Leonards, near Skegness. Liz and Mark invested every penny of their savings to fund the new B&B, to start a new life beside the seaside with their daughter Ella.
It's the height of summer in Skegness, a seaside hotspot that attracts nearly two million visitors a year, all in need of accommodation for their summer breaks.Just two months in, the pair have barely unpacked, and are already low on resources. This ambitious couple calls on The Hotel Inspector to help make their dream come to life. After an enthusiastic start, a health set-back for Mark means Liz is left flying solo - another challenge for the couple's morale.
Alex encourages the couple to think fast to maximise profit over the summer months. Some clever packages and an uplift for the dire dining room gives the hotel a fighting chance of surviving the winter months. With the cold months fast approaching, and a building still in need of some serious maintenance, have the couple bitten off more than they can chew? Can The Hotel Inspector help the couple realise their lifelong dream?
