If you want “quaint, it break the bank” places, I suggest you look at traditional English Bed and Breakfasts. These are licensed establishments that offer nice rooms with private bathrooms in a homey comfortable atmosphere, with a nice breakfast cooked to order by the hosts. You may or may not meet other guests at breakfast or in the common living room area.

Very different from an “AirBnB”, which is usually a private apartment or flat where you are on your own and never meet the hosts.

You can filter for Bead and Breakfasts on booking.com or a Google search with that term. Either way, many will have their own website so you can contact them directly.

We have had great experiences in these laces in England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland..
