C. What is B&B?

In Great Britain, Bed & Breakfasts are frequently used for accommodations when you are travelling. The prices vary, as in a hotel, after what standards you choose. 

Often, B&Bs are operated by private families who use one or two rooms in their house to let. Sometimes there is a separate bathroom, but often you share with others in the house.

Breakfast is included in the price, and you dine in the kitchen or a dining room.

A typical Scottish or British breakfast has a variety of hearty dishes to offer.
