A B&B is a room which includes breakfast in the price. Some hotels include breakfast in the price of the room also. Usually, but not always, a Bed and Breakfast is in someones home where they rent out one of their bedrooms and include breakfast. Some are very inexpensive while some are very expensive. I think it's the best way to go. You get to meet the people and experience the culture.

Have stayed in B&B's in Great Britain. Ask when you book if you have access to your room during the day or is there a formal check out time. Got to stay in a 500 year old castle near Bath for less than a hotel would have cost, and stayed in a townhouse in Edinborough - the only time in my life I ever slept on silk sheets! (the husband was away in foreign service, and the wife and the kids kept occupied, and made a few quid, by housing tourist families while he was gone)If you can speak the language - go for it! <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

In case of Britain, one view of the differences can be found at the Automobile Association web site: <BR> <BR>http://www.theaa.co.uk/hotels/ItemHelp.html <BR> <BR>You will notice that the distinction is pretty vague. We stayed in both b&bs and hotels and about the only visible difference we noticed was that the hotel served dinners (at extra cost) while b&b, at least the ones we stayed, did not.
