These accommodation types are usually privately-owned properties where guests stay in furnished rooms and typically receive breakfast as part of the stay.
Why choose a B&B or guest house?
A personal welcome – B&Bs and guest houses are often run by the owners, with thoughtful attention to detail and service, as well as insider tips on what to see and do, and where to eat.
A great start to the day – breakfast is usually included, from a traditional Scottish breakfast to continental options and choices for different dietary needs. Some guest houses also serve evening meals.
Convenient facilities – many B&Bs and guest houses offer extras such as off-road parking, pet-friendly rooms, bike or golf-club storage, and EV charging points.
Comfort without self-catering – unlike self-catering accommodation, B&Bs and guest houses don’t usually provide kitchens for guest use, making them ideal if you’d rather eat out or have meals provided.
With B&Bs and guest houses, hosts often live on-site or nearby, lending your visit a more personal touch than many larger hotels. B&Bs are typically smaller, often hosting just a handful of guests at a time, while guest houses tend to be larger properties with more rooms.
