HomeAway.co.uk and OwnersDirect.co.uk US parent company HomeAway has taken over BedandBreakfast.com.
The deal, for an undisclosed sum, brings the B£B sourcing website into the holiday home rental company’s global portfolio.
CEO Brian Sharples said: "With the addition of BedandBreakfast.com, we’re providing travellers with another option to find home-like accommodations for a vacation experience that delivers far greater satisfaction than staying in a traditional motel or hotel.”
BedandBreakfast.com was founded in Austin, Texas, in 1995 by CEO Eric Goldreyer.
It lists more than 10,000 B&Bs across 100 countries.
Goldreyer said: "The missions of our two companies are closely aligned – to help consumers easily find and experience a better lodging option than chain hotels and to help property owners effectively compete for and serve the traveller."
