10 of the best British B&Bs

From Sawday’s new British Bed & Breakfast guide , we select 10 of the most striking, characterful and unusual

Studio Farrows, Langport, Somerset

Step through the doors of Studio Farrows and take in the quirky surroundings – starting with a lounge-residing pale blue Ford Anglia! Walls are splashed with eclectic art and mismatched cushions, throws and rugs add to the appealing and homely feel. The hosts couldn’t be friendlier, arranging courses from baking to glass blowing, and swims in a friend’s walled pool. The garden is a real treat, the veranda and seating area perfect for the morning’s continental feast. Four/six people £228/£308 a night B&B or £205/£277 self-catering (two-night minimum, weekly rates available), 01458 252599, studiofarrows.com

Pottery Cottage, near Hay-on-Wye, Powys

This beautifully renovated potters’ shed boasts original oak beams that stretch across high ceilings and carefully placed beautiful objects. Snuggle up in the kingsize bed, complete with Hungarian goose down, before ambling out into the pretty south-facing garden for a breakfast basket of organic goodies. The cottage stands as the perfect base for exploring Hay-on-Wye, the Black Mountains, Wye Valley and Brecon Beacons. Return to a hot bath with a well-deserved glass of wine. Doubles £75 a night B&B, 01497 822931, potterycottageclyro.com

Hill House, Chappel Hill, Colchester, Essex

Light, airy and family-friendly, with pale beams that line the wood-panelled walls and comfy cream carpets – this listed Coach House has a lodge-like feel. The open-plan living space spans across a snug bedroom and plush en-suite bathroom, to a relaxed lounge area with cream sofas that fold into double beds, separated by the stairs. Interiors are friendly with scatter cushions and matching gingham table cloths and curtains. Take in stunning views across the Colne Valley from the balcony and play a board game or two in the evening. Doubles from £95 B&B (sofabed extra £15pp), 01787 221561, sawdays.co.uk

Carriers Farm, Malmesbury, Wiltshire

Whether in the Hare, Pheasant or Fox bedroom, sleep tight on crisp white linen and feather pillows. Bedrooms are thoughtfully decorated with choice pieces – a Roberts radio here, a framed picture of the area there … and what an area it is! Acres of organic pasture surround the converted dairies, but the bustling village of Sherston is close, offering guests the best of both worlds. At breakfast feast on local ham, sausages and eggs from the hens, smoked salmon and cream cheese as well as homemade bread and jams in the garden room. From £85 B&B, 01666 841445, carriersfarm.co.uk

Three Glens, Thornhill, Dumfries and Galloway

A wall of windows open on to spectacular views across to the three glens of Dlawhat, Castlefairn and Craigdarroch at this striking eco-friendly B&B. The roof bears the same turf of the land it was built into, walls are insulated with the wool of local Blackface sheep, and stylish leather seating bear the hides of cows from the farm. Guests can expect a full Scottish breakfast, and luxurious bedrooms – one with a private terrace. Curl up next to the biomass wood-burner and take in the remarkable surroundings. From £85pp room-only, £110pp B&B, £145pp half-board, 01848 200589, 3glens.com

South House Alpacas, near Evesham, Worcestershire

Between the carefully tended orchard, rows of vegetables and trellised vines are a herd of alpacas … The good life awaits in this Georgian house, which is complete with a beautiful walled garden and ancient mulberry tree. Inside high-reaching original beams stretch across the ceiling, while bedrooms combine the best of old and new with contemporary, stylish en suite shower rooms overlooking stunning views, and a super-king oak bed boasts an alpaca duvet with no less than six alpaca pillows. Doubles from £110 B&B, 01386 830848, southhousealpacas.com

Gothic House, Norwich, Norfolk

In the oldest part of central Norwich stands the Grade II listed Gothic House (ask the friendly host about the history of this splendid building), where a myriad of trinkets complement the period feel. Sup a hot drink from silver tea and coffee pots and eat a lavish, locally-sourced breakfast from traditional Portmeirion china. Beautiful windows grace the stylish and spacious bedrooms, where a good night’s sleep is guaranteed in this unexpectedly peaceful spot. Doubles £95 B&B, 01603 631879, gothic-house-norwich.com

St Curigs Church, Betws-y-Coed, Conwy

This converted 19th-century church may have impressive architecture with marble pillars and stained glass, but the spirit of the place is the best part. Expect the unexpected – the sound of a Welsh harp or table tennis may echo from the domed mosaic ceiling. A real family home, the atmosphere is as fun as it is relaxing. For romance, book a four-poster room with underfloor heating before heading outside into the hot tub under the stars. Make friends at the communal breakfast table, marvel at views of Snowdonia’s mountains and, if you’re feeling energetic, tackle the majestic Glyder Ridge. Doubles £70 B&B (four-poster £75) bunks £20pp B&B, 01690 720469, tcurigschurch.com

Castle of Park, Banff, Aberdeenshire

Rebecca really has brought this 16th-century pink castle to life, lovingly restoring it and inviting all to share her spectacular home. The 40 acres of grounds have rose gardens, a laburnum walk, secret tunnel through rhododendrons and waterfalls that you can spot on a woodland walk. Expect warming open fires, antique furniture, romantic art and rich colours. Crawl up the steep stairs to the Tudor Room and step back in time. Look out for the swimming elephant table, twin golden unicorns and cheetah rug! Doubles £110 or £140 B&B, 01466 751595, castleofpark.co.uk

No 3 at Settle, Settle, Yorkshire

No 3 sits at the end of a terrace of handsome 19th-century houses. Hosts are friendly, offering to help to plan outings, as well as breakfast in bed and a paper delivery if requested. Breakfast otherwise is in the lovely kitchen, where French windows look out over the walled garden, or on the terrace on warm days. Bedrooms are elegant and luxurious bathrooms have freestanding roll-top baths. Head out to the bustling market town and return for a scrumptious dinner. Doubles from £75 B&B, dinner by arrangement, 01729 825673, no3atsettle.co.uk

The Good Hotel Guide

Independent, recommended.

The Good Hotel Guide is the leading independent guide to hotels in Great Britain & Ireland, and also covers parts of Continental Europe. The Guide was first published in 1978. It is written for the reader seeking impartial advice on finding a good place to stay. Hotels cannot buy their way into the Guide. The editors and inspectors do not accept free hospitality on their anonymous visits to hotels. All hotels in the Guide receive a free basic listing. A fee is charged for a full web entry.

Editor’s Choice: B&Bs

Character and comfort define the best of B&Bs, and these wonderful guest houses always give a sense of being welcomed with open arms, quite literally in some cases.

We were personally welcomed and after asking we were given beautiful recommendations for special shops and cafes. The room was absolutely lovely, we were stunned by the view and the location! If we come back to brighton we will most definitely book the Blue Sky Guest House again! Thank you for the lovely stay!

The property has been sympathetically renovated after a fire in 2020. it still has a wonderful pub ‘feel’ but the rooms are tasteful and (without exaggerating) one of the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in. I could not see a cobweb or mark anywhere. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was wonderfully appointed for the price with a nespresso machine and a great range of tea and coffee. Again, I’ve stayed in more expensive properties that don’t have this.

Service was impeccable - replied all messages with enthusiasm, clear from the on start that there was no lifts but constant offers to help with luggages which provided a lot of assurance before we even arrived. Took into account our correspondence that we needed an extra bed, and that our elderly might not be good with stairs - accommodated them on a lower floor and upgraded another room to accommodate the extra bed so we would all be comfortable. The room also had a lovely view. I love hotels who actually listen and who really wanted their guests to feel comfortable and Dukes Bath definitely made us feel that way. Helped with luggages even when we arrived late. Breakfast was also good and the staff constantly checked in to ensure we were comfortable and all our needs were taken into account. The croissants and cheese platter were so good! Gave little sweets and chocolates when we checkout or at breakfast - all the little touches where we can truly feel the hospitality.

There’s something of an art to making your home feel like home to everyone that walks in the door. The decor helps, be it cosy or cultured; and the kettle boiling on the stove. Then, of course, there’s the greeting – and where could possibly do it better than the land of 100,000 welcomes?

The people of Ireland love to open their doors to visitors. So, whether your taste is more country pile, such as Larchmount House in   County Londonderry ;  a traditional thatched cottage such as The Thatched Cottage B&B in County Galway;  an award-winning townhouse such as the Merchant's House in Derry~Londonderry; or one of the beach-front retreats from At The Beach Rooms , there’s a warm bed and a hot cup of tea here waiting for you.

B&Bs around the island of Ireland

L-R: The Merchant's House, Derry~Londonderry; Rosehill House, County Tyrone; Number 31 Guesthouse, Dublin; At The Beach, Portstewart, County Londonderry

The beauty of a B&B or guesthouse is that one can pop up anywhere. So, no matter how rural or central a holiday you’re planning, you’re guaranteed to find one in the right spot.

For rural retreats, it’s hard to beat somewhere like Coolanowle House , set on an organic farm in County Laois ,  their fresh farm produce such as milk, free range eggs and apple juice is available to purchase onsite;   Bayview Farm Cottages in County Antrim,  where cows lounge lazily on the golden beach nearby; or County Waterford's  Glasha House , voted 2020 B&B of the Year.

Meanwhile, in more urban settings, B&Bs and guesthouses promise the personal touch that most hotels can only dream of. Stunning St Jude’s in Galway city prides itself on its local, organic food; Victorian Maryville House in Belfast  tempts the tastebuds with its indulgent afternoon tea. While historic McGettigan’s Townhouse in Dublin  city centre feels lavish and exclusive. And in Kinsale in West Cork,   Perryville’s pretty pink façade welcomes everyone to the town – whether they’re staying or not!

Riverside House, County Mayo

Perhaps the best part about staying at a B&B is the in-house expert: an owner who lives in the area will know exactly what to recommend to guarantee you get the most out of your stay. 

So, in Taobh Coille , Agnes and John will arrange a local fishing trip for you; or at Mount Royd , Josephine can set up a visit to neighbouring Dunmore House , beloved holiday retreat of crime writer, Agatha Christie.

It’s little wonder so many visitors return to the same B&Bs year in, year out: when it feels like you’re staying with friends, why go anywhere else?

And one final tip: if you want to have a relaxing, stress free trip, pay a visit to B&B Ireland . With over 700 unique B&Bs across the island, you can pick your favourite destination, and book it in advance for maximum convenience.

The 20 Most Charming Bed-and-Breakfasts in America

Posted: March 13, 2024 | Last updated: March 13, 2024

The best bed-and-breakfasts for a cozy stay

When I look back on my many years of travel, my most memorable trips involved staying at small properties—especially bed-and-breakfasts. On one North Carolina trip, the innkeeper sat down with my husband and me to chat about food and travel over a glass of wine. He told us about the furnishings in the elegantly restored home, which were purchased in far-flung places around the globe—it was fascinating. He also offered us a taste of snake wine that he'd brought back from Asia and had been saving for a special occasion. (In case you're wondering, while we were flattered that we were that occasion, we graciously passed on the offer.)

Unlike large, and sometimes sterile, hotels, these intimate accommodations are a welcome respite after a long journey or a busy day of sightseeing. They're incredibly cozy, often furnished with fireplaces and incredible decor from another time, and they tend to be romantic. But you also get to socialize with other guests over wine and appetizers, and in the morning, you gather around a communal table over a scrumptious homemade breakfast and talk about your plans for the day. You may make new friends during your visit and even stay in touch with the owners for years to come, as we have.

How we chose the best bed-and-breakfasts

Our selection of the best bed-and-breakfasts in the U.S. is based on personal experience, expert recommendations, user reviews and star ratings. I have stayed in countless bed-and-breakfasts around the world, but I haven’t been to all of them, of course, so I've also researched those that consistently receive high marks from guests. And I'm not just a frequent guest—I also do this for a living as a travel writer. I have covered B&Bs several times over the last 14 years, and let's just say that I really enjoy doing my research on this topic!

An important note about B&Bs before booking

Most bed-and-breakfasts are geared toward adults and do not permit children, since the properties are small and typically designed for quiet and relaxing romantic getaways . Some accept pets, while others may only allow service dogs. And when it comes to booking your stay, some B&Bs list availability through sites like Airbnb in addition to accepting reservations on their website or by phone.

This list of the most charming bed-and-breakfasts in America includes private homes, inns and lesser-known gems from California to Maine, and Florida to Texas, with a wide range of options for every type of traveler. And they’re destinations to visit in and of themselves, though there’s often a lot going on in the towns where they’re located. Read on to plan your next trip and pick the perfect B&B for you!

Charleston, South Carolina

Best for: An uber-romantic stay with French flair and Southern hospitality

Step into the salon for a glass of complimentary champagne when you arrive at 86 Cannon , a boutique three-story property situated in the heart of Charleston's historic district. The inn's five elegant rooms and suites, featuring midcentury design and classic French decor, are perfect for an intimate adults-only getaway. And the timeless architecture of the property (in a quiet, residential part of town) has been beautifully preserved and updated with fresh touches including cozy piazzas, a courtyard garden and an inviting third-floor library where guests can peruse a vintage book while sipping a glass of wine.

In the morning, the cafe offers a European Continental-style breakfast with homemade yogurt, granola and locally sourced pastries. There's also a complimentary wine-and-cheese pairing at 5 p.m. that you can enjoy indoors or outside on the piazza. Guests of the property rave about the gracious and attentive staff who made them feel at home during their stay. And if you want to check out the city, 86 Cannon is located just a short distance from Charleston's famed restaurants and nightlife.

• Perfect for an adults-only getaway
• Complimentary use of Linus bicycles throughout your stay
• Personalized concierge service
• Children are not permitted

Abbington Green Bed & Breakfast Inn and Spa

Asheville, north carolina.

Best for: An inviting mountain getaway

Located in the historic Montford neighborhood, just a mile from downtown Asheville, this charming bed-and-breakfast was designed by Richard Sharp Smith, one of the architects involved in the construction of George Vanderbilt's Biltmore Estate. The Colonial Revival–style home features eight guest rooms and suites with king-size beds, whirlpool tubs, showers, fireplaces and Comphy spa sheets. My husband and I stayed in one of the two pet-friendly suites located in the carriage house (which sits behind the main house) when we visited. The suite was perfect for us with the pup, since we had easy access to walk him outdoors. While at the property, we also enjoyed taking in the mountain views from the spacious outdoor porch and strolling through the English gardens. The inn also offers couples massages.

The owners and innkeepers, Dean Whiteford and Cherie Thorn, prepare and serve a homemade gourmet breakfast crafted with organic and local ingredients every morning in the dining room. Thorn also bakes all the breads and cookies in house. The couple will even curate a picnic basket for lunch outdoors or a trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Before heading out for dinner on the town, stop by for the afternoon social hour, which offers complimentary cheese and charcuterie plates and local beer, ciders and wine. While enjoying your drink, be sure to peruse Whiteford's artwork on the main floor, or pick up the guitar in the living room and play a song.

• Close proximity to downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate
• Pet-friendly accommodations
• On-site electric car charging station
• Geared more toward adults than families (though children 12 years or older can be accommodated in the carriage-house suites)

The Francis Malbone House

Newport, rhode island.

Best for: An elegant seaside retreat

This antiques-filled home offers a quiet respite from Newport's bustling downtown waterfront district. Even though the Francis Malbone House is located in the middle of it all on Thames Street, you can escape the crowds once indoors with beautiful living areas and cozy fireplaces, which are especially lovely during a chilly New England winter. In the warmer months, sit outdoors and enjoy a lovely manicured courtyard with a fountain.

The historic home, dating back to 1760, features 18 beautifully appointed rooms and suites in the original mansion and in the courtyard wings. All accommodations have private baths, luxury Italian linens, fireplaces, flat-screen TVs and plush robes. Queen Anne furnishings grace the public spaces, along with rare paintings and antique prints. Some spaces, like the dining room, are reminiscent of homes in Colonial Williamsburg.

Come with an appetite in the morning for a hearty two-course breakfast served with freshly baked pastries. And don't miss a guest favorite: afternoon tea, which is served between 3 and 6 p.m. every day. The menu changes daily and features delectable sweet and savory snacks and light bites.

• Close to the marina and other Newport attractions
• Offers wheelchair-accessible facilities, handicapped parking and other accessible features
• Summertime is very busy, so spring, fall and winter are better options if you want to avoid the crowds

Ashton's Bed & Breakfast

New orleans, louisiana.

Best for: A historic stay away from the crowds in the French Quarter

Ashton's Bed & Breakfast offers a quiet romantic retreat away from the revelry of Bourbon Street—yet it's not too far from the famed restaurants, nightlife and fun of the Big Easy. The historic property, located in a residential neighborhood halfway between the French Quarter and City Park, has eight distinct guest rooms in the main house or patio wing. Each themed room (think: Jazz Festival and Mardi Gras) accommodates up to two guests and features private baths, luxury linens and toiletries, individually controlled heating and cooling controls, and more. Some rooms also have BainUltra ThermoMasseur whirlpool tubs.

You'll be treated to a homemade breakfast each morning that may include New Orleans specialties like Mardi Gras eggs Benedict with Cajun tasso hollandaise or bananas foster Belgian waffles. Guests say that owner and innkeeper Patrick Ashton's breakfasts are one of the highlights (and some of the best meals) during a trip to New Orleans . After a day of exploring in the city, they also appreciate the peace and quiet back at the inn—enjoying the cool shade of a 400-year-old live oak on the rear patio or rocking away in a cozy chair on the front veranda.

• One fully accessible guestroom (Mardi Gras) and accessible routes around the property
• Free and secure off-street parking
• Complimentary snacks and beverages
• The property only allows service dogs

Inn at Onancock

Best for: A casual coastal getaway in a charming harbor town

This intimate bed-and-breakfast, located in a Victorian-era home in the walkable historic district, offers just five accommodations. Each room at the Inn at Onancock has a theme (I stayed in the South of France–inspired Provence Room) and features a private spa-style bathroom and toiletries, spa robes, luxurious linens and a feather-topped queen- or king-size bed. Guests gather in the living room in the evening to chat with new friends over wine and inn-made hors d'oeuvres during the property's signature Wine Down Hour. In the morning, you'll wake up to a butler tray outside your door with your preference of coffee, tea or juice. Afterward, everyone gathers downstairs for a three-course gourmet breakfast before heading out to the beach, taking the ferry to Tangier Island, going sailing or browsing the local shops, galleries or museums.

The innkeepers, Matt and Kim Spuck, can help plan a trip for you to visit Assateague Island to see the famous Chincoteague ponies. They can also arrange other adventures for you—and place flowers and other treats for your arrival if you're celebrating a special occasion. The inn has changed ownership since my stay, but guests come away with the same feeling I had when I left the property years ago: The inn is lovely, the owners are fabulous hosts and you arrive as guests but leave as friends.

If you're looking for an adventure with a bit of Southern history, rustic cabins with modern amenities and what one guest described as a "Little House on the Prairie" stay, then Cotton Gin Village is the bed-and-breakfast for you.

In the morning, a hot breakfast is delivered in a handmade Amish basket to both the cabins and cottages. There is also an on-site restaurant, Cabernet Grill, that serves Texas Hill Country cuisine paired with local wines. Guests who have stayed at the property love the peaceful accommodations, indulgent breakfasts and delightful dinners.

Allegan, michigan.

Best for: A historic yet eclectic stay close to Lake Michigan Shore's Wine Trail

This stunning home in a quiet neighborhood in Allegan has been catching the eyes of residents and visitors for more than 160 years. Owner Todd Green was also drawn to the beautiful historic home that was sitting empty when he and his wife, Nia Green, purchased it out of bankruptcy in 2020. As a local farmer and business owner with a background as a residential builder and renovator, Green knew the historic Italianate Renaissance home (dating back to 1863) had good bones and was structurally sound. After freshening up the interior and beautiful woodwork, the Greens opened the Jade Estate Inn later that year as the fourth bed-and-breakfast to be in the home since 1987.
