A Yorkshire farm - Breaks Fold Farm - that has been run by four generations will be the focal point of The Hotel Inspector on Channel 5 presented by Alex Polizzi.

Breaks Fold Farm is located in the village of West End just a walking distance away from Thruscross Reservoir, near Harrogate.

Richard and Louise are the fourth generation to take over the farm, which is mainly centred around breeding traditional Swaledale, Herdwick and Mule lambs.

The land has been in the hands of Richard’s family for nearly 100 years and Alex Polizzi from The Hotel Inspector will be visiting the farm.

With British farming facing unprecedented challenges the couple decided to diversify, creating a camping field and investing in three shepherd’s huts. They now work between two of the toughest industries to succeed in: farming and hospitality.

During the episode - which airs on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at 8pm on Channel 5 - Alex arrives to check into one of the shepherd’s huts and finds cosy accommodation and a warm welcome.

But glamping as a market has blown up over recent years and it is up to Alex to convince the couple that they must adapt with the times and add luxury touches to their offering to compete in a crowded market - and crucially to allow them to increase their prices and therefore their profit margin.

Alex also has some ideas on add-ons to create additional income, as every penny really does count. But with a couple stretched managing their 250-strong sheep flock, will she be able to turn things around? Only time will tell.
