Walking Holiday B&Bs
When it comes to walking holiday B&Bs in the heart of the beautiful British countryside, we know exactly what you need. Wake up in the morning to a traditional cooked breakfast that will set you up for the day, and then head off on a walk from the door – into the hills, around the lake, along the coast, through the fields or across the moors. Whether you're on a walking weekend or a full walking holiday, there are plenty of great B&Bs for walkers that know all about their beautiful surroundings and can recommend routes, pack you a lunch and fill your flask with hot tea. And at the end of the day, we're talking about coming home to one of those magical country B&Bs with an open fire, a comfortable sofa and some homemade cake – and, with any luck, a great pub just down the road. So here's our pick of the UK's best B&B walking holidays – where walkers are not only welcome but are the stars of the show.
