The Hotel Inspector: Weyanoke Hotel

With 30 bedrooms, The Weyanoke in Eastbourne is the largest hotel that Ruth tackles in this series. Run by Mark and Heidi Cowderoy, Ruth nicknames the hotel "The Push Me Pull You" because it's heading in two different directions. For the past four years, Heidi and Mark have been running The Weyanoke with coach loads of OAP's for guests. Sadly, the coach trade is dying out and only pays hoteliers a pittance, so Mark and Heidi have decided to update their rooms to attract a younger, more affluent clientele. After spending nearly £1 million on refurbishments, they've only completed ten rooms and have run out of cash. They're too scared to stop booking in coaches but feel heartbroken when they have to give away their million pound rooms for £20 a night.
