The best places to open a B&B in the UK

Are you thinking of opening your own B&B? Now’s a great time to set up this type of holiday accommodation. After the summer season that we’ve just experienced, it’s likely that you’re ready and raring to tap into the trend of UK-based holidays.

There are plenty of things to consider when setting up your own B&B. It’s worth thinking about who will manage things day-to-day, who will be cooking up and serving breakfast, and the type of insurance that could protect your new B&B business. You’ll also need to decide how you want it to look – a coherent and consistent visual and decorative theme is best.

One of the main starting points, however, is where you’ll base your B&B. There are plenty of promising summer holiday hotspots here in the UK but, if you’re flexible, here are some ideas.

Blyth

For a totally different type of seaside-based B&B, try Blyth in Northumberland. This has a very different vibe to the glitz of Blackpool.

The town’s industrial heritage is evident today, thanks to its bustling port plus the High Light Lighthouse and Blyth Battery – the coastal defence artillery battery.

The beach is lined with colourful huts and there are plenty of waterside rooftop restaurants and pubs where visitors can enjoy sea views while they dine. Fresh food and other treats are also available from the vibrant local markets.
