Nip over to the Channel 5 site and watch the entire Hotel Inspector series.

Then forget the idea. Clearly your heart is not in it, and unlike Asparagus Man, you cannot rely on the house's value rocketing to cover your losses on the B&B side.

Meanwhile, you can nip over to a site like http://www.lakedistrict-bedandbreakfasts.com (and google will find others) to see what the field looks like in terms of facilities and prices.

no, bar for 24 hours, you don't need to stay awake for the punters

i stayed in a b & b in blackpool, bar was permanently open, i got the bevvy(bottled lager) myself and put money in a jar

but the guy never stayed up and chatted, but he did tell us that he was going to bed and that would be about 10pm

didn't really want to talk to him anyway, i mean i don't particularly want to talk to any b & b owners or expect any of them to stay up

the bar doesn't need to be complex either, no pipes or barrels

just bottled lager, and spirits

couple of beer fridges, assortment of spirits - think key would be that we dont rely on income from b and b and that we get the right place in the right location - love coniston water, but too much dollar
