The B&B revolution, with online sites like Airbnb, Homestay and One Fine Stay tempting hundreds of ordinary homeowners to turn amateur hotelier, is the backdrop for this lifestyle series which explores how the total novice ensures their pied a terre gets a five star rating rather than a flop.

With her characteristic no-nonsense approach, initial advice, a game plan, a modest design budget and no shortage of ideas, Lisa will arm the homeowners with the tools to turn their spare rooms into superb places to stay. And she's not just out to make sure their B&Bs are the best, she's also going to do her damndest to make sure they make a profit! The series explores whether the aspiring B&Bers follow Lisa's plan or go with their own ideas and if Lisa's advice will be enough to help them get glowing reviews when that all-important test guest checks in for an overnight stay.
