Prize Winning B and B Lurks Behind a Most Ordinary Exterior

Byfords Posh B&B - Exterior

Byfords Posh B&B occupies what may be the oldest building in Holt - a village not far from the unspoilt North Norfolk coast. The cellar may date from the 1400s.

Byford's Posh B&B, East of England's 2008 B&B Finalist in the Enjoy England Awards for Excellence competition, is one of the more unusual B&B's we've heard about.

To begin with, we dare you to find it in this picturesque, but apparently ordinary parade of village shops and cafés.

It is, in fact, all of it - a whole little street of flint storefronts and upstairs windows conceals a café, a restaurant, a takeaway deli, an outside catering company and, oh yes, a 16 room, luxury bed and breakfast inn. The owners recently completed a £350,000 refurbishment that included the addition of seven new rooms. From the look of them, Byford's self description as a "Posh B&B" appears to be right on the mark.
