• The Most Unique Bed and Breakfasts in the UK

  If you’re tired of the same old style of Bed and Breakfasts and starting to think they’re no longer worth it, that’s where you’re wrong. With just a little more searching you can find treasures like these B&B’s, which are some of the most unique in the country. Staying in of these B&B’s will guarantee you one of the most memorable, unique stays that you’ve ever had. If you have a taste for the slightly quirky or unusual, then you will be pleased to find all of the above qualities in these properties. They offer a truly individual experience in properties that all had past lives rather diverse to that of a B&B accommodation.

  The Bradford Old Windmill as the name suggests once was a windmill, now converted to a romantic accommodation perfect for a honeymoon or romantic weekend. It is located near Bath, in Bradford-on-Avon, near the Cotswolds.

  The House in the Sea is a luxury bed and breakfast, set on top of a cliffy peak surrounded by the Atlantic. Quite unusual is that the property is completely isolated on this tiny island of land accessed by suspension bridge, which during high tide is entirely surrounded by the sea. It offers stunning views in a wonderfully relaxed environment, and has direct access to Towan beach.

  Try also The Old Post Office, the name says it all about the origin of this place, you will find it in Gloucestershire. Or stay at The Old Lock-Up, former police cells in North End, Derbyshire. Lastly, for a bit of law and order in contrast to the last option, there’s the old magistrate’s court in Somerset, where you can stay at The Old Court.

• We take a look at booking your bed and breakfast

  Bed and breakfast, or B&B, accommodation is usually found either in small guest houses or in private homes who have less than ten rooms to let per night. The accommodation is usually very reasonably priced and exactly as you would imagine, a bed for the night and breakfast the following morning are covered.

  There are particularly high numbers of B&Bs in seaside towns where people might want to eat out for lunch and in the evenings, and spend less on accommodation and more on their entertainment, and in more remote areas of the UK such as the Lake District, Scottish Highlands and in Wales where you may not find a hotel.

  Cities and towns also tend to have a number of B&Bs, relying on business travellers and short-term visitors who are looking for budget accommodation. There are a handful of websites now available which concentrate specifically on reviewing and listing all the B&Bs in the UK. Generally, you can search on postcode or town name and find accommodation to suit your needs. Farms often also offer a B&B service: the Stay on a Farm handbook is a great guide if this is what you are looking for.

  B&Bs usually offer a very comfortable night’s sleep and the option of a full English breakfast in the morning. Some may also now offer a continental breakfast. Room rates can be as little as £20 per night.
