I really like this as a design. The layout is quite clean and simple, but it is easy to understand and attractive to look at.
I do think you need to clarify the purpose of the site though. At the moment it looks more like a tourist information site than a website for a B&B.
What do you want people to do when they come here? I assume the main objective, is to get them to spend some money on a visit to your B&B, in which case you should strengthen the calls to action and emphasize the advantages/ benefits of your B&B.
Currently the two images on the right just look like images with captions. On first glance it wasn't clear that they were methods for looking at/ booking a room.
I would remove the current links and add proper buttons (ie 3d bevelled things with strong calls to action) instead.
Besides a clarification of purpose I would:
make the main navigation bolder. I think the menu options are quite important, but they're greyed out and hard to read.
If you're making something of the 'what's on' section then maybe there should be a menu item for that as well.
Maybe add a bit of texture to the background to make it more visually interesting
Tidy up the drop shadows on the blocks of content. The shadows on the left cut off suddenly, and the ones on the left of the 'welcome to our B&B section seem to go too far to the left.
change the logo. It looks very cliparty at the moment, and could do with something simpler/ more interesting.
Does the B&B have a name? Might be good to get that in there somewhere, or will that replace the Bed & Breakfast title later on?
The read more link on the what's on title seems a bit lost. Not sure how to fix it, maybe center it vertically? The colour doesn't really work for me either.
