In it's 15th year, this well-loved guide is the biggest yet with over 750 B&Bs across Britain to choose from. Stay in a quirky castle or a stunning college, a beamy farmhouse or a handsome townhouse, a little terraced cottage or a sleek modern apartment, and enjoy the lavish or the simple - over 300 places have double rooms for £70 or less.
We look for character and authenticity in architecture and interiors, and generosity of spirit in our owners. With more owners going that extra mile, breakfast will also be special: eggs and bacon perhaps from owners' own livestock, often homemade breads and jams. Stay for supper and there'll be fruits and vegetables from the garden or allotment. For the Travel Club members among you there are nearly 400 offers from owners for you to take advantage of in this edition.
Clear symbols, excellent maps, colour photos, concise directions, quick reference indices and honest and lively write-ups take the hard work out of finding the perfect place.
