About us

Hi there! Thank you for visiting Bed&Fed! Bed&Fed is a network of home from home affordable, friendly guest rooms in the UK and Ireland.

Bed&Fed is perfect for the domestic traveller as well as for the tourist who wants to get more from their visit by staying with local people. Check out the property reviews! So, whether it be for a meeting, sports tour, wedding, or because you're self-employed, search the network for friendly, home from home accommodation where supper is included – plus we never charge a booking fee.

Bed&Fed is also a great way for people who enjoy cooking and company, and who are proud of where they live, to make money from their home as a Host.

Bed&Fed was founded by Annabella Forbes. That's her in the photo there. Annabella realised, when visiting places in the UK and Ireland for whatever reason, that she ALWAYS had a much better time if she met (or better still stayed with) people from the area - and so Bed&Fed was born. Annabella currently lives between London and Dublin. She loves cooking, eating and a good chin wag - if you do too then Bed&Fed is for you!
