Anyone who’s watched Four in a Bed has probably dreamed of ditching their day job to travel the UK reviewing B&Bs. Well, it turns out that’s actually a real job. Every year, the AA sends a crack team of experts to sample stays across the country, before crowning the best. And the results for 2025 are now in.
The AA has just announced its fave bed and breakfasts in England, Scotland and Wales right now, shining a light on each country’s go-to spot for comfort, style and breakfasts worth waking up for.
First up, England’s winner: The 25 Boutique B&B in Torquay, Devon. This adults-only spot (pictured above) blends smart design with serious comfort, featuring themed rooms (inspired by local beaches, no less) and tech-savvy touches like smart lighting and TVs in the bathrooms. Snazzy.
Up in Scotland, The Townhouse in Perth scooped the crown. This classic Georgian terraced spot sits right in the city centre and has rooms with stunning views over South Inch Park. The AA loves its ‘warm and genuine hospitality’ and can’t stop raving about the delicious locally sourced breakfast spread.
Then there’s Wales, where Ramsey House in St Davids took the top prize. Quietly on the outskirts of town, this family-run B&B (pictured below) offers modern, comfy bedrooms and, you guessed it, a seriously good breakfast. It’s not all about the food, though; the AA reckons this Welsh winner has the perfect mix of ‘professional management and family warmth’ that makes it stand out.
Plus, Simon Numphud, the AA’s Managing Director, had this to say: ‘These winners offer more than just a bed – they deliver character, comfort and care that stays with you long after check-out.’ Sounds good to us.
You can find all the winners of the AA’s 2025 B&B awards on the official website here.
