Lines: 40 I wholeheartedly agree that B&Bing around the British Isles is one of the nicer ways to see the countryside(in fact my sister & brother-in-law run one in Anglesey). However as a previous poster pointed out there are some drawbacks. 1.Very rarely will you have a bath/shower in your room. (Usually its situated down the hall,remember to take a bath robe) 2. Most B&B are not situated in the centres of towns but on the outskirts so you might be away from the attractions that drew you to a specific area. 3. From memory I recall it was more difficult to get accomodations whilst travelling alone(they get more money letting the room out to couple than to one person and they normally only have a few rooms available). I FEEL THAT ANYONE THAT IS ADVENTUROUS ENOUGH TO GO HIKING OR CYCLING AROUND THE COUNTRY SHOULD (AND WOULD ) NOT BE DETERRED BY ANY OF THE ABOVE. The benefits are well worth it.You are made to feel like a long lost relative.The breakfasts can be totally astounding(vary from house to house). #### #### ###### #### ##### # ##### # # # # # # # # # # # # # # ##### # # # # # # # ### # # # # # ##### # # # # # # # # # # # # # #### #### # #### # # # # -- Dave Peak (pyuxhh!dxp) " The bare necessaties of life : Food,Clothing and a blonde !
