A bed and breakfast (typically shortened to B&B or BnB) is a small, usually in-home lodging establishment that offers overnight accommodation and breakfast. Bed and breakfasts are often private family homes and typically have between four and eleven rooms, with six being the average.  In addition, a B&B usually has the hosts living in the house.

Bed and breakfast are also used to describe the level of catering included in a hotel’s room prices, as opposed to room only.
