A BED and breakfast in Northumberland say business has been 'non-stop' after featuring on Channel 4's Four in a Bed.
Crackin View Guest House and Holiday Cottages at Tarset is run by husband-and-wife duo, Maria Turnbull, 50, and Steve, 51.
The business appeared on the show in February and Steve said it had been so busy since they have had to build a new parking area to accommodate the large numbers of guests they were getting.
Steve said: "The amount of guests we were getting, we thought we'd create a bigger area and we've put some barbecues there and gave another six parking spaces. With all the publicity it was a necessity."
Steve has built a stargazing hut in the design of a railway carriage, complete with telescope, and the roof raises up to see the sky.

"It's another part of the business people can enjoy and they can do it on their own," Steve said.
"It's been non-stop this year. The show has been a good thing to do. We're working hard here, we're just waiting for the upholstery to come for our new stargazing hut."
He has built a large decked seating area for guests, and there is a new indoor pool which Steve says guests love.
"Nowhere else has a little spa pool round here," he said. "I'm going to be carrying on the decking around the pool and put a fire pit for people to relax at night."
There is an additional undercover outdoor hot tub area, and Steve says there are projects for the future in the pipeline.
Sleeping up to a maximum of 12 people, Crackin View has new lighting outside with parking spotlights to help people see where they're parking at night.
Maria has christened the new garden space Crackin View Bee Garden, which has new bee-friendly plants.
"Since Covid a lot more people are coming from the south coast," he said.
"I think reviews are making a big difference. We've had fantastic reviews on Booking.com, not just the business but about me and Maria, very rarely do we get negative reviews."
The family got a new puppy, Hugo, who Steve says is 'extremely popular with the guests', and they also have two cats.
"Guests absolutely love them, quite often they'll leave their window open and then they'll find a cat at the bottom of their bed," he said.
