It's similar to bed and breakfast type accommodation except you usually get evening meals as well. A kind of small scale private house hotel (in rough terms).
You may see signs for "auberge" as well (in France). They're a kind of country inn or modest town hotel with relatively few facilities.
Sticking with France, the nearest to UK bed and breakfast is chambres d’hotes. God knows how to define those; even the French can't make up their mind.
And as for Gites .....
As with all of these things people stretch the definitions until they all merge into one.
