B & B's are the new boutique hotels

The Frugal Cook (Free subscription) | 5 hours ago

Well, that's what I'm predicting anyway. Who's going to be spending a couple of hundred quid on a snooty designer hotel when a homely B & B offers equal comfort for a third the price? We've just been down to Dartmouth for the annual food festival and I promise you I can't think of any hotel I've been to that has a better view than the guesthouse we stayed in ( Mounthaven ).

Yup. Sure looks like hell to us. Okay, we're not gonna lie: we were a little bit startled when we received word of the "One Way Ticket to Hell...oween" Package from Luxe Hotel Rodeo Drive .
