Summary: Holiday in Scotland/Ireland/England Guide books...


When you get to Britain, look for the series of FARM HOLIDAY GUIDES.
These are available for England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
THey list farms that operate guest houses.  MOst are very cheap
and small (only a few bedrooms) but feature real farm breakfasts
and sometimes dinner.  They are usually located off the beaten 
track, and you get to meet the locals.
I've always used them when travelling in Scotland and Ireland
and they've never failed to result in very memorable experiences.
However, if you are expecting Holiday Inn type accomodations,
look elsewhere.
