Travel-Quest's unique collection of special B&B's, guest houses and small hotels offering accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis:
This list offers a hand- picked collection of B&Bs and guest houses each with a difference and offering something rather special. This might be:
• A special location – a private island, a place of extreme beauty, a famous city location.
•
Exceptional decor – here you'll also find 'design' or 'boutique' B&Bs and guest houses.
•
Historical significance – the former home of someone famous or the location of an event in history.
•
Typical or traditional styling – national or regional, perhaps a half-timbered Tudor B&B or a Tyrolean-style chalet.
• Exceptional food – extra special breakfasts, special 'restaurants with rooms', B&B's in vineyards ...
•
Special facilities – like grand pianos, fantastic tennis courts or amazing gardens.
• A theme – you'll find some themes like railways or chocolate in other sections of the Travel-Quest Directory, but here on these pages you'll find the rest, perhaps a movie theme, motoring or travel.
• A special building – where these don't fit our unique places to stay section we'll list unusual buildings re-purposed as bed and breakfast accommodation.
