British Bed & Breakfast

Alastair Sawday's British Bed and Breakfast guide offers something for everyone - from young families to young lovers, peace-seekers, walkers, cyclists, surfers and art and history buffs. Enjoy your Bed and Breakfast experience in a handsome townhouse or a quirky castle, a little terraced cottage or a university college, some are lavish, others simple. There are no set rules, no interminable checklists, no hard and fast criteria for inclusion: we look for character, authenticity and owners who love people and go the extra mile. Each entry in this wonderful Bed & Breakfast guide is special in its own way. One B & B may have fabulous architecture and inspirational views, another amusing hosts and delightful interiors; some have it all. Breakfasts will always be delicious: maybe eggs and bacon from down the road, soft fruits from the garden, homemade breads and jams, compotes and sausages. Honest write-ups take the slog out of finding the right place for you, be it somewhere perfect to take the dog, a child-friendly city bolthole or a gorgeous hideaway for two.

Clear symbols, excellent maps, over 750 colour photos, and honest and lively write-ups take the hard work out of finding the perfect place for your special stay
