Bed & Breakfast, B&B

B & B is the most common type of tourist accommodation in the UK and Ireland. The term Bed & Breakfast appeared in the UK after World War II. 
At that time, many foreigners needed a place where they were able to stay, so the local people opened their houses and began to provide space for accommodation. In addition, they began to offer breakfast to their guests. Before that it had been a common practice to be put up for a night by people from the same social or professional group e.g. a doctor would stay at another doctor’s or pharmacist’s place. Having visitors in private homes did not mean just making guest rooms available but it also involved inviting the guests to the living room. Meetings between hosts and travellers were a source of mutual exchange of information and news. Therefore, traditional Bed & Breakfast is always kept in the house in which its hosts live. 
This gives the guests the opportunity to talk, to establish a closer contact and spend their time in a family atmosphere.
