The Hotel Inspector · S8 E8
Bodkin House B&B
Badminton, Gloucestershire
Good outcome here: the business is still trading today. It trades today as Bodkin House Hotel.
The short answer
12-room hotel with restaurant/bar on 3 acres of landscaped gardens; TripAdvisor 4/5, 343 reviews.
What happened on the show
The series 8 finale record on Bodkin House is brief: in Badminton, Gloucestershire, Dom and his wife Eileen asked Alex Polizzi for help with their former coaching inn. The episode summary does not preserve the detail of the failings she found or the changes she set, so the honest account is the verifiable frame: a couple running a historic former coaching inn in the Gloucestershire countryside who called in the inspector at the end of her eighth series in 2011. Rather than reconstruct on-screen drama the record does not support, the fairer reading of the visit lies in where the business landed afterward, which the present-day evidence sets out more clearly than the sparse synopsis. Dom and Eileen's former coaching inn closed the eighth series in November 2011 and has since grown into a small hotel under a lightly extended name.
After the cameras left
Bodkin House is still trading, now styled Bodkin House Hotel, a twelve-room property with a restaurant and bar set in three acres of landscaped gardens at Petty France Farm near Badminton, holding a four out of five across more than three hundred TripAdvisor reviews. The evidence comes through an aggregator and tourism-board mirror rather than a confirmed standalone official domain, so the open status is held at medium confidence. Dom and Eileen's former coaching inn appears to have kept going and grown into a small hotel in the years since Polizzi's visit.
