Best hotels or B&B’s in the UK

Glen Garry Castle Hotel, Invergarry. I have stayed in it lots of times and it is such a beautiful setting on the banks of Loch Oich. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, the food is fantastic. There is no bar but you can order any drink and it is brought to you in one of the sitting rooms. Inverness is a short journey or there is Fort Augustus and the Caledonian canal lock system. Loads to do and see. The hotel can organise fishing and shooting and your catch or birds are put on the menu.

Frogwell B&B in Strete in South Devon. Without question the best B&B I’ve ever had the pleasure of frequenting. Everything is perfect. ❤️

Paperbackwriter I know what you mean about Tim but we were thinking of ourselves! We wanted cheap and cheerful and never gave him a thought.

I’m always happy at a Premier Inn! Reasonable and good breakfasts. I know what to expect.

I agree, can't go wrong with Premier Inn. Guaranteed good nights sleep or your money back..........and it's true. Staff exceptionally good at Premier Inn Kings Langley.......useful for Warner Bros studio and Albert Dock Liverpool.......converted bonded warehouse with many retained features.

We stayed at a B&B called 21 in Hereford 2019. The breakfast was wonderful. In the hall there was a fridge and microwave available for the use of the guests. The beds were comfy, loads of space for car parking and it was a 10 minute walk to the city

The Old Manse B & B in Chatton, Northumberland. We picked it because it was in the area we wanted, without knowing anything about it. Despite arriving early we were warmly welcomed by the owner who was in the middle of making the sausages for breakfast. The bedroom and the views from it were lovely. At breakfast, everything was either home made or locally produced. We didn't know before we went that it won Northumberland B&B old award of the year but could definitely see why.

The Trefeddian Hotel in Aberdyfi amazing views and great food. Dog friendly as well.

After your recommendation, I looked at Riverside and booked a 3 night break in September. I told Richard you had recommended it on Gransnet, he was intrigued who you were. I told him we all have pseudonyms/nicknames so difficult to say. If you want me let him know who you are please tell me.

The White Horse at Brancaster Norfolk.
Pub with very comfortable rooms, wonderful food and views over salt marsh. Good for birding at Cley and Titchwell plus Sandringham.

I will pm you Nannytopsy
Hope that you have a lovely stay there, and I forgot to say (!)
It’s at Ambleside, Lake Windermere, but you found it anyway.

Sorry! It’s Nannabumble ( lots of nannas on here)

We loved The Old Town Hall Bed and Breakfast at Redmire Yorkshire. It is 5 star with lovely hosts that welcome you with home made cake and tea . A fridge in your room with fresh milk and juice. And lots of little extras . We ate in the local pub in the evening.

I agree Nannytops The White Horse at Brancaster one on its own.
We always loved the Miller Howe on Ullswater but unfortunately, it has changed hands and part of a chain now. Not been for a while but the Blue Lion at East Witton North Yorks was always so relaxing good food and well looked after.

Albangirl, is that the one immediately next door to the pub? If so, we stayed there many years ago, and loved it, and the area.

Lemon grove.
I suspect it was the “ Close Hotel “ in the high street.
Many well known people stayed here when Princess Diana was at Highgrove.
I lived there in the eighties and was a part time receptionist.
Small world.

We return once (or twice) every year to The Plockton Hotel on Harbour Street. Meg & her husband run it beautifully. Years ago it was owned but Ken Bruce’s (radio 2) brother Alisdair and his wife.

It’s the most perfect location by the edge of Loch Carron. We are booked in - 4 week’s tonight I shall be sitting down to dinner there. I can’t wait. The menu is amazing. Freshly caught fish, smokies, steaks. Breakfasts of kippers or full English.

A tartan carpet in reception, a log fire in winter, a lively bar with locals and visitors. Not stuffy, friendly, buzzy and welcoming. Highly recommended.

It’s a 12 bedroom 2 star family owned hotel. A twenty minute drive from the Isle of Skye, and close to Eilean Donan Castle, Glenelg and the Brochs, and the Inverness to Kyle Railway.

Does anyone have a recommendation for Whitley Bay?

Hull City Centre, Premier Inn, very clean, friendly, good breakfast. Restaurant on site. Few minutes from the town centre, very close to The Deep Aquarium. Not far from the coast for a day, Hornsea, Bridlington, Scarborough. Also not far from York where you can visit the Chocolate Factory, Street entertainers and of course The famous cobbled Streets.

Just looked it up, it’s called The Close ( Tetbury.)

That’s right susieq and a lovely hotel it still is, must go back there sometime this year.

Tregenna Castle, St Ives, Cornwall (not a real castle). Stunning views, A1 service, tree houses, excellent food, attentive staff.

The two best UK hotels I’ve stayed are:

Overwater Hall in the Lake District (won as a prize in an early GN competition) where we were treated like favoured guests. The ambience, food and setting couldn’t be faulted and we promised ourselves that we will return.

Northcote Manor in North Devon. We stayed in their best and biggest suite (a gift from our daughter), which was sumptuous - and the meals we had there were just delicious. It’s really tucked away in the country and perfect for a weekend getaway.

Balcary bay hotel should be good at £300 a night.

That's for 2 and includes a fabulous dinner and breakfast. They have cheaper rooms and also various deals throughout the year. As everywhere, you get what you pay for.

I have enjoyed staying at some of Warners Hotels , there Nidd Hall near Harrogate is ace.
Also Harrogate wise have stayed in Cairn Hotel in Covid format , but may years ago it was then a THF Hotel the Crown in Harrogate .
Have had short stays in Leuisureplex hotels in different parts of England, plus a few years back a stay on a holiday Inn near High Wycombe .

Hellogirl1 as far as I remember the pub was a few minutes walk away in the village.
