Great British seaside breaks: 10 best bed and breakfasts

For a chic weekend away

Escape, Llandudno, Conwy

Llandudno, on the North Wales coast, may sound like the sort of place your grandparents went to, but it is on the brink of a revival. The North Shore promenade offers old-fashioned attractions, as does the James Bond-like cable car to the Great Orme. The super-stylish Escape B&B is representative of its more up-to-date charms. Its nine rooms have been individually designed - styles range from 1960s retro cool to 18th-century French chic - and come equipped with DVD players, WiFi and PlayStations. Vegetarians, as well as carnivorous lovers of the Full Welsh, are catered for at breakfast, too...
