What happened after

Farmhouse B&B, official site live; local news (Dartmouth Chronicle, dated after the episode aired) confirms ongoing operation under original owner.

What happened on the show

Toni Del Mar, a 74-year-old musician and music teacher, ran the farmhouse bed and breakfast Appalachian Spring at Dartington near Totnes in Devon when Alex Polizzi opened her twenty-first series there in 2026. No episode synopsis survives, so the on-screen detail is undocumented. Because the record preserves nothing of the specific problems she diagnosed or the changes she set, the honest account stops at that verifiable outline rather than reconstructing on-screen events the material does not support, and the fuller measure of the visit is best read from the present-day evidence, which confirms the property's continued operation under its original owner. Screened in February 2026 to open Polizzi's twenty-first series, it is among the freshest cases here, and local coverage confirms it still trades under Toni Del Mar.

After the cameras left

Appalachian Spring is open and trading, a farmhouse bed and breakfast at Dartington Village near Totnes in Devon, still run by Toni Del Mar. Its official site is live, and a local Dartmouth Chronicle Facebook post dated after the episode aired, in March 2026, confirms ongoing operation under the original owner, so the open status sits at high confidence. The Devon farmhouse B&B that Polizzi visited to open her twenty-first series appears to have kept going as a going concern under its founding owner, one of the freshest cases in the directory and among the clearer recent survivals.
