Sometimes we all need a little break from the hustle and bustle of London – so why not escape to the countryside?
Imagine a world where you could blow your nose and not leave the tissue covered in grey, polluted goo… Well, believe it or not, such a world exists if you only dare to venture a couple of hours out of the capital! Follow us as we show you the best budget, boutique B&Bs in Britain to rest your weary feet.
[The Granary]Make the most of England’s green and pleasant land in this rural beauty. Tavistock sits on the edge of Exmoor National Park in Devon, ideally located to enjoy as many bracing countryside walks as possible. The Granary starts from £85 per night and is open from the start of April to the end of October.
[The White Hart]This gastropub/B&B sits in Somerton’s historic market square and has been trading ever since it opened its doors in the 16th century. Obviously it’s been through a few upgrades since then, though, and it now boasts 8 beautiful en-suite rooms priced from £75 per night.
[Argoed B&B]You’ll have to travel a little bit further to make the most of this quaint Pembrokeshire B&B, but we promise it will be worth it. They even provide homemade bread for breakfast so you can wake up to the smell of baking. A double room costs £90 per night.
[Ellerbeck House]Step into historic Ellerbeck House and enjoy a welcome of homemade cakes served by a roaring fire (or on the sun terrace during the summer). A haven for foodies, this place is offering a traditional Cumbrian breakfast included in the price of the room. You can’t beat a Cumberland sausage, right? Rooms start from just £80 per night. Ee by gum!
[The Beckford Arms]This one clocks in at under two hours from London by car or train so it’s an excellent choice for you stressed out Londoners who can’t face the thought of a long journey on a Friday evening after work. You can get there in no time and then enjoy a homemade pizza from their wood-fired oven (until 9pm every Friday). Sounds like the perfect start to a long weekend. Prices start from £95 for a small double room.
