UK holidays continue to reign supreme this summer, and thanks to Tripadvisor we've just had a major dose of inspiration for a weekend minibreak!
That's because the travel website has unveiled the UK's top 10 best B&Bs for 2021, as part of its Traveller's Choice Awards.
To determine the winners, the team scoured reviews of UK B&Bs in search of those which consistently wowed guests not just with their cosy bedrooms and amenities, but for going that extra mile to make a holiday unforgettable.
In fact, the top five UK B&Bs proved such a hit they've even been ranked as some of the world's best B&Bs for 2021.
Meanwhile Torquay has proven the top destination for B&B stays, with four of the top 10 destinations being located in the Devon hotspot.
