bed-and-breakfasts

Homey overnight accommodations

Bed-and-breakfasts are small lodging establishments, typically in private homes or converted houses, where guests pay for overnight accommodation and morning meal.

The term often suggests cozier, more personal alternatives to hotels: We stayed at charming bed-and-breakfasts along the coast.

Commonly abbreviated B&Bs.
