Boutique hotels, country retreats, guesthouses and B&Bs

Boutique hotels are usually considerably smaller than mainstream hotels and provide intimate, luxurious and sometime quirky hotel environments. The emphasis is always on personal service.

Country retreats, guesthouses and bed & breakfasts can be located in private homes, on farmstays or in self-contained apartments and cottages. Warm hospitality is usually on offer, along with personal service. B&Bs include breakfast of course which can vary from a sumptuous cooked affair to a hamper of local produce. Evening meals may also be available.
