UK B&B and guesthouse benchmarks 2025: average ADR £80–160 (varies significantly by location); coastal and rural destination properties £90–200 in peak season; urban B&Bs £70–130.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is RevPAR and why does it matter for a B&B?
RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) = ADR × Occupancy Rate. It measures how well a B&B is monetising its room inventory — a B&B with high occupancy but low ADR may have lower RevPAR than one with moderate occupancy and higher rates. For a 5-room B&B with an ADR of £120 and 60% occupancy, RevPAR = £72 per available room per night, or £131,400 per year (£72 × 5 rooms × 365 nights).
What is the average ADR for a UK B&B in 2025?
Average Daily Rate for UK B&Bs varies significantly by location: coastal/rural destination properties typically £90–200 in peak season; urban B&Bs £70–130. Luxury B&Bs with en-suite rooms, high-quality breakfasts and distinctive settings can command £150–250+ per room per night. OTA (Booking.com, Airbnb) commission of 15–20% should be factored into pricing if using these channels.
Do B&Bs pay business rates or council tax?
B&Bs with 6 or more letting rooms pay business rates. B&Bs with fewer than 6 letting rooms where the owner also lives on the premises may be assessed for council tax rather than business rates — the Valuation Office Agency makes this determination. Small B&Bs that qualify for Small Business Rate Relief (if assessed for business rates) may pay reduced or zero rates. Check with your local authority for the specific assessment applicable to your property.
