For real value of money accommodation, a friendly welcome and the best chance to meet the British, try a “Bed and Breakfast” (В & В for short). You’ll find В & В in towns, resorts and villages throughout Britain. Some are private houses, others are old-world country pubs, yet more are farmhouses. You don’t need to book...just look for the sign saying В & В and walk up and knock at the front door.
