Do B and Bs allow people to stay indefinitely for a reduced rate?

    Hi, looking for accommodation nearer to my workplace and was wondering is it possible to stay in a B and B for a few weeks at a reduced rate until I get a room in a house? Im currently commuting and although its doable, I can see it start to wear me down a bit as time goes on. Would b and b owners be open to this? Thanks.

    Some would. Hard to give a general response. You'd have to ask individually.

    I've done this before while waiting on more permanent accommodation while I was in college.

    Only one of the 8 or so B&Bs I contacted would do it.

    Used to run a B&B and we did occasionally, especially off season. No harm in contacting them direct and asking.

    Many will. But best to book in for a couple of nights first, get a look at each other, before asking.

    Also don't ask for indefinitely. Instead ask for a weekly or maybe monthly booking. And negotiate to get a healthier or no breakfast.

    Some will give you a reduced rate for a longer stay, but "indefinitely" might be hard to swing, as they won't be able to advertise the availability of your room in advance if you're just going to hang out indefinitely and then up and leave on short notice at some random future date.
