Prince Charles Wants to Open Bed and Breakfast
Prince Charles and Camilla have applied for planning permission

By Elizabeth Arneson, About.com

England's Prince Charles and his wife Camilla have opened Llwynywormwood Estate (or Llwynywermod Estate), a country residence for the royal couple which will also be rented to guests (when the prince is elsewhere) as a sort of bed and breakfast.

The property, located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, is set on about 190 acres. Two cottages are available for rent. One has two bedrooms and sleeps up to four guests, while the other has three bedrooms and sleeps up to six guests.

Both accommodations welcome children, and pets are allowed.

Reports indicated that the cottages would be rented to the public for between $1,200 and $2,000 per week, although potential guests must request specific pricing information.

Prince Charles and Camilla purchased the home in March 2007.

According to news reports from before the opening of Llwynywormwood, the couple applied for planning permission to convert a $2.4 million farmhouse to a sort of bed and breakfast for paying guests.

"The application was for a bathroom extension to the farmhouse and to convert the adjoining farm building to create a dining room, reception and dwelling," BBC News reported, attributing the information to a local council member.
