Update on National B&B Week 2020

 National B&B Week is an annual celebration of the UK’s independent accommodation sector. This year, as a result of travel restrictions caused by COVID-19, the event has been  postponed until the early summer.

The impact of the coronavirus means that B&B owners across the country are now facing difficult circumstances –  but you can do your bit to help. 

By booking a B&B, guest house, hotel, or inn now for later in the year you are lending a helping hand to businesses that support their local economy. 

If you’ve not booked a break, do so now for the summer, before the season takes off. There are hundreds of properties on our Offers page waiting to welcome you and we will continue to publish offers until the relaunched event takes place.

If you’ve booked a B&B but are unable to travel, re-arrange your stay – please don’t cancel. Your hosts will still love to meet you!

 If you can’t rearrange, consider paying for your stay even if you can’t check-in. Your generosity will be very much appreciated.

By doing any of the above, you will be helping the Great British B&B through the current uncertainty and your actions will help support not only the B&Bs themselves businesses in the wider community.  

Meanwhile, we are redirecting our efforts to support accommodation providers through this difficult time and limit the impact of the disruption they are experiencing. We are collating helpful advice and guidance for property owners here, where they can also find details of podcasts, webinars and other helpful resources.

We’d like to thank all of the properties, partners and potential guests involved in National B&B Week for their continued support and look forward to sharing an update on new plans to host the celebration later in the summer, with a date to be confirmed and shared in due course.
