Medieval foundation: A mansion near York

Accommodation: A historical farmhouse
This ancient stone farmhouse, believed to be a medieval structure but refurbished in 1635, is found at the end of a long farm lane running downhill to a peaceful river valley. With views of the Dales from every window and only the sounds of the river, owls and seasonal stock to punctuate the silence of the night, guests can expect a restful stay. Stone mullioned windows, wood beams and large open fireplaces dictate the simple décor, which is complemented by 17th century oak furniture and Persian rugs. A concession to more relaxed living is the conservatory, where guests can breakfast in the sunshine while enjoying bacon and eggs.

The Dales are home to a wealth of castles, churches, country houses and gardens within a 40 mile radius, including Bolton Abbey, Harewood House, Ripley Castle, Newby Hall and Castle Howard. York, Durham, Richmond, Helmsley, Harrogate and Skipton are also close.

Breakfast by candlelight: A Victorian residence

Accommodation: A Victorian residence in downtown Edinburgh
The hosts' first B&B in Heriot Row was legendary among their guests from around the world. Now Hélène, a former teacher, and Erland, a journalist with a wry British sense of humour, have created a guest suite in their new home in Cambridge Street. The suite is located on the ground floor of a stately Victorian mansion and is itself beautifully furnished in Victorian style. The couples' candlelight breakfasts are unparalleled: Choices include Pommes Rimbaut, Mushroom Taleggio, Asparagus Apocalypse and Oeufs à la Brioche. Although many of Edinburgh's most important sights are only minutes away, the rooms face a quiet garden.
