B&B Brochure

The Bed & Breakfast Nationwide brochure was first printed in 1988 and featured 160 homes. This has steadily grown until there are now over 680 homes throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The brochure is widely known as “The Little Green Book” and is highly recommended. Each home has a coloured photograph and description, and the name, address and telephone number is printed along with e-mail if available.

The brochure is a FREE publication and is widely distributed throughout the world, providing guests with the security of knowing that their accommodation is with welcoming British families – many giving a special welcome to guests from overseas. The brochure is also used by business travellers who are away from home overnight and need a reasonably priced, comfortable and safe place to stay – a welcome change from the “sameness” of many a hotel chain!

If you would like a copy of the brochure and are in the UK please send a self addressed A5 envelope with 2 first class stamps on it to Bed and Breakfast Nationwide, PO Box 2100, Clacton on Sea, Essex, CO16 9BW and we will send a copy by return.

If sending from abroad please send us your name and address with $3.00 or €3.00 and we will send a copy by return.
