Buying a business

Where would I look to find a business for sale? I want to buy a B&B in the Essex area. I have googled but all I've learnt from that is that the internet market is saturated with websites offering to sell your business for a fee. What are the more conventional methods? Can I find them in certain publications?
TIA

Thanks for your links. I assume that the Daltons newspaper/magazine will do a similar thing to their website?
