The Little Green Book
The 35th edition of the Bed & Breakfast Nationwide brochure – widely known as The Little Green Book – is the essential guide to some of the finest bed and breakfasts and Cottages the UK has to offer. It features hundreds throughout England, Scotland and Wales, all of which are also shown in greater detail on this website.
The brochure also contains useful information including details on how to make a booking. It also includes those that are ‘pet friendly’ so you can take your dog with you. Those with facilities for the less mobile and Accommodation which offers something a bit different, such as sheepdog demonstrations, fly fishing special-interest courses or gardens open to the public.

Thank you for sending me the booklet and I have to say every bed and breakfast I have used in the past has been excellent.
We certainly enjoyed using the brochure for our trip to the UK in May/June staying at 10 ‘Little Green Book’ B&Bs. They were all great, lovely people and comfortable rooms and beds. We travelled 2,300 miles in three weeks from Salisbury up to north Scotland and back down to Cambridge. We loved the B & B experience and so glad I found the Little Green Book!
Thank you for the brochures, we have found them very helpful in our travels through the UK over the last 15 years, a lot of driving staying in lovely bnbs and great holidays.
We have used the book on numerous occasions and have always had lovely hosts and excellent service!
What a super place to stay what a find. Meals, spacious accommodation, friendly owners, and help when one of the guests was ill. Lots of interesting chats.
We found out about the book on our visit to the UK in 2018. The second B&B we stayed in gave us the book and we used it all the time for the 5 weeks we were there: a great resource and one we plan to use for our visit in 2024.
My friend and I travelled to the U.K. in May this year. After sending away for your ‘little green book “ that came rather promptly I must say, we decided to try some of the properties listed.
Please be proud of the fabulous work you must do in procuring such amazing properties for people travelling to the U.K. who want to stay in the gorgeous countryside. Both my friend and I brought home quite a few of your Little Green Books to pass on to others who we know are coming to your shores.
I picked up a copy of The Little Green Book over 25 years ago when visiting Clacton on Sea. I have used it many times especially when working and travelling in East Anglia, and for holiday accommodation in Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
I HAVE NEVER HAD ACCOMMODATION THAT WAS UNSATISFACTORY. ALL THE HOSTS HAVE BEEN MOST WELCOMING AND FOOD EXCELLENT. THANKYOU FOR SUCH A TRUSTWORTHY BOOKLET.
