bed-and-breakfast

Quaint overnight accommodation

A bed-and-breakfast is a small lodging establishment, typically a converted private home, that provides overnight accommodation and morning meal.

Often shortened to B&B.

The atmosphere tends toward the cozy and personal, distinguishing it from hotels and motels: We stayed at a charming bed-and-breakfast in Vermont.

The term also describes this style of accommodation generally.
