And, do you know the reason why you see so many of these in the UK and
European countries?

Taxes...


What, you mean it has nothing to do with the fact that most of those
B&B's are over 100 years old and weren't built with closets?



Homes in the UK have a tax based on the amount of rooms, counting
closets. Fewer closets, lower taxes. There were taxes 100 years ago
too. ;~)
