Tips for Travelers about B&B's
Bed & Breakfast Code of Ethics
Contact the Association
REASONS TO CHOOSE A BED & BREAKFAST
- B&B's range from the simple to the luxurious, with price ranges to match all budgets.
- When visiting an area discovering its geography is important and by staying in a B&B you will also touch the soul of an area- its people.
- Your hosts will be able to direct you to all the undiscovered treasure spots not listed in the travel brochures- that quaint restaurant, the newest artisan's shop, the antique barn etc.
- Your individual needs will be heard and met if possible, whether it's for an ironing board or a bicycle.
- Special diets can often be accommodated, especially if hosts are informed ahead of time.
- In a B&B accommodation you are offered the warmth and care found only in a private home.
- The personal touch always matter at a B&B. The bottle of wine that appears on your night stand when your hosts know you are celebrating your anniversary might be just one example.
- You will never have to wait in long line-ups at the registration desk.
- Most important of all, you will have arrived as a stranger but you will have left as a friend.
