B&B sites

Without going into too much details of why im asking this, is there websites that specialize in B+Bs ? I dont see too many of them on Kayak or Airbnb. Im looking for temp digs for 5 weeks in the Coventry area, i dont want to share a house or bathroom and i dont want to stay in a basic hotel for that time. A room only b+b would be fine with a private bathroom.

Have a look on booking.com for prices and then ring the B&B direct as you may get cheaper rates as you are looking at a long stay.

Have a look at smoothhound.co.uk.

thanks for the suggestions guys, booking.com is incuded when you use kayak for searching, its searches all the bighotel sites. Smoothhound seems to be a clone of one of the big hotel sites.

I had a 6 days stay at a cracking b+b in weston super mare, £36 a night, it was a really nice victorian house, it was super clean and very comfortable surroundings. I cant find anything similar here. Any b+b prices are way over £40 a night. It is mostly hotels that are on these sites though.

Maybe charging so little, they (hopefully) have small margins, so don't want to pay the commission involved in being represented on such sites.

thats an interesting point, i dont know how they all work.

The hotel in in just now and have spent quite a few nights in, the hotel prices are the same as booking on the hotel website, some hotel sites are more expensive so looking for a bigger cut. However the b+b in Weston Super Mare charged me less paying directly, i booked 2 nights through a booking site then asked to stay longer and the price was less by a few quid a night.
