Why Bed and Breakfast?

Choosing where to stay in the Lake District and why bed and breakfast can be a little confusing at times. Hopefully we can help you make the right decision for you.

First, what does "bed and breakfast" mean to you? Maybe you'll envisage a seaside house presided over by a matronly host with homemade biscuits, a cat in residence and a night time curfew, but B&Bs have evolved far beyond these traditional bounds. In fact, those travellers seeking out true luxury are increasingly turning to B&Bs for the personalised service that outline a top quality experience from check-in to check-out.

But seeking out the luxuries of a modern B&B doesn’t mean paying more. In fact, you’re likely to save money by choosing a B&B and you don’t have to sacrifice location. B&Bs are just as close to the sites and town centres as any hotel is.

Here are a few benefits of staying in a B&B:-

• Personalised service from the owners

• Complimentary hot drink and homemade cake on arrival

• Free homemade breakfasts made from locally sourced products

• Breakfasts tailored for dietary requirements

• Free WiFi

• Free Parking

A B&B owner will also be able to provide recommendations for local places to eat, taxi firms and places to visit. All done to enhance your stay. Don’t worry if you have special dietary restrictions: not only do many B&Bs serve locally sourced food, most B&B owners will be more than happy to serve specially prepared food for those who are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free!

How is it that you can get so much more at a B&B? The answer is simple: every B&B is personally operated by an owner whose goal is to offer you the best possible experience. You’re not just another room number — you’re a true guest, and you’ll never feel more welcome than at a B&B.
