Foxlow Grange in Channel 4s, Four In a Bed
Tucked away in the heart of the Peak District, in the charming town of Buxton, you’ll find Foxlow Grange — a building where timeless elegance meets modern design. Foxlow Grange is a beautifully restored property, with a vision by husband-and-wife duo Laura and James Muse. The accommodation is a magnificent 5-star restored manor house transformed into eight individually designed luxury self catering apartments, and it’s about to appear on television screens across the UK in Channel Four’s, Four In a Bed.
A Hidden Gem Steps into the Spotlight
Foxlow Grange offers one to three-bedroom self-catering apartments sleeping up to 30 guests, each with its own distinctive character. From brass baths and crackling fireplaces to private outdoor spaces and indulgent hot tubs, every detail has been thoughtfully curated. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a multi-generational family gathering, or an intimate wedding celebration (the property holds a wedding license), Foxlow Grange delivers an unforgettable Peak District experience.
The Television Journey
When Channel 4’s “Four in a Bed” came calling, Laura Muse saw an opportunity that went beyond television exposure. As a passionate advocate for the Peak District and local tourism, she recognized this as a chance to showcase not just Foxlow Grange, but everything that makes Buxton special — from its Georgian architectural gems to its vibrant independent businesses.
With James focused on his renewable energy work with the family’s sister company, Fusion Solar UK, Laura invited Claudia Pardoe to join her on this adventure. Claudia, a long-time family friend and remote team member since 2023, brought a complementary perspective to the journey. Where Laura thrives in the spotlight with her natural confidence and social media prowess, Claudia brings quiet professionalism and thoughtful insight — creating a dynamic duo that captured the heart of Foxlow Grange.
Behind the Scenes
Neither was a devoted fan of the show beforehand, which made the experience all the more enlightening. From learning to navigate constant microphones and retakes to remembering to mute before bathroom breaks, the pair navigated the unfamiliar territory of television production with grace and good humour.
The filming process included property introductions and the main competitive episodes. Throughout it all, Laura and Claudia remained true to their values: approaching each visit with genuine warmth, offering honest yet constructive feedback, and focusing on celebrating what makes each property special.
More Than Competition
As with any competitive format, judgment day brought its challenges. Hearing criticism about something you’ve poured your heart into is never easy — particularly for Claudia, who has witnessed firsthand the Muse family’s dedication since Foxlow Grange’s restoration in 2022. Yet both women understood that the experience was about something far more valuable than winning: connection, celebration, and sharing Buxton’s story with a national audience.
Award-Winning Excellence
The recognition speaks for itself. Muse Escapes has earned a Visit England 5-Star Gold rating across all properties. In 2023, the company was shortlisted for both New Tourism Business of the Year and Team of the Year at the Visit Peak District & Derbyshire Tourism Awards. Most recently, Foxlow Grange received a Silver Award at the 2025 Peak District, Derbyshire & Derby Tourism Awards, testament to the vision, passion, and unwavering standards the Muse family brings to everything they do.
A Lasting Legacy
While the cameras have stopped rolling, the experience has left its mark. For Laura and Claudia, “Four in a Bed“was an adventure filled with unexpected challenges, genuine laughter, and opportunities for growth. More importantly, it was a platform to showcase what they love most: the beauty of Buxton, the warmth of Peak District hospitality, and the exceptional experience that awaits every guest at Foxlow Grange.
The heart of Foxlow Grange continues to beat stronger than ever — and now, the rest of the UK is about to discover why.
