B&B FTW!

Headed to the UK? Why not stay in a comfy B&B? (That's a "Bed and Breakfast" to the uninitiated.) They are often less expensive than a hotel, and you get to know the people who work and live there. It gives you a much more "Local" feel than an impersonal hotel chain. If you're headed to England, check out the lincoln bed and breakfast that are out there.
