What happened on the show
Farmers Ian and Emma ran By the Red Phone Box, a glamping site on a working farm in Worcestershire, when Alex Polizzi visited during her twentieth series in 2025. No episode synopsis survives, so the specific on-screen detail is undocumented. Farm-based glamping is a modern strand of the accommodation market the show has increasingly featured, distinct from its traditional hotels and guest houses. 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 inventing on-screen drama, with the outcome best read from where the business later stood, which the present-day evidence documents through its live current bookings. Aired in August 2025 during Polizzi's twentieth series, it was one of her farm-glamping cases rather than a conventional hotel.
After the cameras left
By the Red Phone Box is open and trading, a glamping site on a working farm in Worcestershire, run by farmers Ian and Emma. Its official site is live and actively inviting bookings as of 2026, so the open status sits at high confidence, though the exact town was not pinned down in the available sources. The farm-based glamping operation Polizzi visited appears to have kept going as a going concern, one of the series 20 cases that clearly endured despite the missing synopsis, trading on the appeal of rural farm stays in the Worcestershire countryside years after her visit.
