Hannah’s B&B | Winchester, Hampshire

Our rating: ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

Probably the most beautiful B&B we’ve ever stayed in – stunning interiors (with the sort of sofas you put a star next to in magazines) huge beds, which are bouncy and fun, fun, fun; and plenty of cosy touches we love.

The Westleton Crown ~ Suffolk

Our rating: ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

The Westleton Crown really is a wonderful gem of a retreat – a great winter getaway and a serene (and secluded) summer destination. Well, if it was good enough for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, it’s definitely good enough for us!
