B&B websites that show guests why yours is special
We build WordPress sites for bed and breakfasts that capture your personal touch. Room galleries, availability calendars, and direct bookings all included.
Your B&B is personal. Your website should feel that way too.
Running a B&B is different from running a hotel. It's personal. Guests choose you because of the homemade breakfast, the local knowledge, and the warm welcome. Your website needs to get that across before they arrive. We build WordPress sites for B&Bs that feel warm and inviting, not corporate. Room photos that show character, a story about your property that makes people want to visit, and a booking process that's simple and direct.
We've worked with B&B owners in the Cotswolds, Lake District, Yorkshire, and coastal towns across the UK. Most come to us because they're paying too much in Booking.com commission or their old website doesn't show on mobile properly. We fix both. Your WordPress site gets a booking calendar, VisitEngland rating badges, guest review highlights, and local area guides. All the things that help guests choose your B&B over the one down the road.
Every project is led by Mark McNeece, founder of Press Forge and 365i.

Works With Your Tools
We connect your WordPress site with the platforms that matter to your business.
What I'd Build First for a B&B, and Why
First build: individual room pages with honest photography taken in daylight, real dimensions, and what's included. A B&B is a personality purchase; guests are choosing you and your house over an anonymous hotel, and the photography is the product. I'd spend on a half-day photographer before spending on any website feature.
What I'd reject: existing only on booking platforms. The commission is one problem; the bigger one is that platform guests are the platform's customers, not yours. A simple direct-enquiry site with a couple of repeat-guest perks builds the returning trade that makes a small B&B viable. This is another case where a static site is often the honest recommendation over WordPress.
The rules your website has to respect
- Register as a food business: serving breakfast makes you a food business; registration is required even at B&B scale
- Fire safety responsibilities: paying guests bring fire safety duties most homeowners don't know about; showing you do builds confidence
- VisitEngland quality assessment: independent assessment matters more for small properties, where guests have fewer reviews to lean on
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about WordPress websites for bed & breakfasts
Yes. We integrate booking systems like FreetoBook or eviivo that are popular with B&B owners. Guests check availability, pick their room, and pay a deposit or full amount online. It syncs with your calendar so you never get double-booked.
Absolutely. We prominently display your VisitEngland rating, Gold Award, Breakfast Award, or any other accreditations. These badges build instant trust with guests who are comparing options. We place them on your homepage, room pages, and booking page.
Through your connected booking system. When you block dates or change rates in FreetoBook or eviivo, it updates on your website automatically. You can also update room descriptions, photos, and amenity lists directly in WordPress whenever you like.
That's one of the main benefits. A good B&B website with direct booking gives guests a reason to book with you instead of through an OTA. We add a best-rate guarantee message, better photography, and a personal touch that OTA listings can't match.
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Local area pages are excellent for SEO because people search for things to do in your area. We help you create guides covering walks, restaurants, attractions, and seasonal events. This content brings in visitors who then discover your B&B.
Our B&B websites start from a few thousand pounds depending on the number of rooms and features you need. Booking system integration, photography galleries, and local area guides are all included in our standard package. We'll give you a clear quote upfront.
