| Summary |
This week Ruth returns to Cothay Manor, one of the country's finest medieval houses with its beautifully manicured gardens. It is a labour of love for its eccentric owners Mary-Anne and Alastair Robb, who single-handedly run the estate. The gardens and house were always open to the public, but the Robb needed to be making more money, and were not sure of how to make that a reality without spoiling, as they saw it, the essence of the estate.They also hadn't thought through the future of Cothay and who out of their four children would take on the estate.Ruth Watson recognised the exquisite beauty of the house and gardens as well as the sorry state the business was in. She taught the Robbs how to make the garden more commercial but without taking away from its natural charm. Food became a long debated topic with Ruth trying to impress upon Mary-Anne how important a proper tearoom is.Find out whether the Robbs have followed Ruth's advice, in this third catch-up episode. Have they taken her advice and sorted out their tearoom and plant-selling area? And is the issue of inheritance now resolved?PRODUCTION DETAILS:Country House Rescue Revisits is a Betty Production for Channel 4 |
