Bed and breakfast accommodation is distinct from a Great Yarmouth guest house in that the providers may offer hotel, or cottage, or even tepee accommodation, but also provide a breakfast service. For example a Norwich cottage bed and breakfast may comprise of a former gatekeeper's cottage on someone else's land; and you might be invited for breakfast at the big house. Whereas your general Norfolk B&B will offer bed and breakfast accommodation. They might also offer a pre booked lunch or dinner service but this will definitely be a premium extra rather than a given.
There is a new species in the guest house world; the luxury Cambridge bed and breakfast - but in an apartment. Apartment owners have realised that many apartment guests don't want to have to lay in supplies, especially if they arrive the night before. So they've started having breakfast hampers delivered or simply stocking up the fridge in order to keep guests happy. Self service breakfast buffets at hotel B&Bs in Cambridge work along much the same lines; outlay is minimal, but guests still don't have to go forage for breakfast at 8am, and then content themselves with a coaster size ham muffin.
