Midlands
London might have clung on to government but B&Bs in the Midlands show this was the region that surfed the wave of the Industrial Revolution, powering an astonishing colonial boom and driving a century of dramatic growth. There are Bed and Breakfasts in busy cities, charming market towns and landscapes patched with fields and forests. Visit the Midlands for a taste of England at its friendliest and most relaxed.
