Touring is not just about hotels…

Touring in a classic or sports car is one of the great joys of being a Petrolhead… along with cleaning and maintenance!
Quite often, when searching for a suitable place to stay, the natural tendency is to think of hotels. Indeed, Petrolheads Welcome was founded on shared experience of touring in the UK and abroad, mostly using hotels. Whilst that will remain an important aspect of what we do (and we’re immensely grateful to everyone who has recommended or rated a hotel on our website) we haven’t listed as many Bed & Breakfast or Self-Catering venues as we would like.
That’s about to change!

We are delighted to be working with these organisations and will now be listing and promoting more B&Bs and self-catering accommodation.
You can find out more about the B&B Association, the Holiday Home Association, the Association of Scotland’s Self Caterers and the Wales Association of Self Catering Operators here.
Anyone owning/running a B&B or self catering venue can list their property (assuming it has suitable parking!) and as a member of each of these organisations will get a special deal from Petrolheads Welcome.
That’s great news for the industry and great news for we Petrolheads who want to explore the far flung corners of the UK… and further afield.
If you’re in any doubt, have a look at these venues and then make a plan to include them in your tour plans:
- Petrolhead Pitstop (B&B)
- Widemouth Farm Cottages (SC)
- The Fat Lamb (B&B)
- Llanerchindda Farm (SC)
And further afield (watch this space!):
- Bonnes Routes Gite (SC)
- Le Gite Sereine (SC)

Thank you Bonnes Routes Gite.
Anything that you (we all) can do to help our fellow Petrolheads get out there using their cars before someone legislates us off the road, will be much appreciated!

Thanks for the mention team! We’ll have to sort a game plan for France – but it’s so big, and there are so many gites …. but we’ll rise to the challenge to seek out the real ‘petrolheads welcome’ ones.
We’ve just had a sneaky look at the Petrolheads Pitstop listed above (just to see if there are any ideas we can steal). We must say the property looks lovely and the standard of accommodation looks absolutely superb. Sarah and Steve seem like people after our own heart! Good luck in the coming season. Looks pretty handy for Goodwood too, so we’ll spread the word.
