AA reveals Britain’s best B&Bs 2025
The AA has unveiled the winners of its Bed and Breakfast Awards for 2025, recognising the very best places to stay across England, Scotland and Wales.
The categories span inns, restaurants with rooms and traditional B&Bs.
Now in its 29th year, the AA B&B Awards celebrate establishments that go the extra mile, from meticulous housekeeping and memorable breakfasts to authentic service and unforgettable stays. This year’s winners impressed AA inspectors with their individuality, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication to guest experience.
Simon Numphud, managing director at AA Hotel & Hospitality Services, said: “These awards shine a light on the brilliant people and places that make Britain’s B&B scene truly world class.
“Whether it’s a warm welcome in Scotland, a design-led retreat in England, or a culinary gem in Wales, this year’s winners represent everything that’s special about independent UK hospitality. They go beyond offering a bed for the night - they offer character, comfort and care that stays with you long after check-out.”
