Usually, a real Bed & Breakfast is managed by its owner. If you cannot speak to someone you know who has visited there, visit first, or a call to the owner would be a good idea. Ask about the property, and the kind of visitor they normally attract. Read Real reviews check they are certified. Doubt about prefect scores. Don’t be shy, ask your questions; we will appreciate your call and likely send you information on facilities and the area. Offerings for Bed & Breakfasts vary from castles to cheap rooms. Make sure you get more than you pay. The real voyage and richness of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes and new friends.

While there are hundreds of area bed and breakfast websites, their quality varies widely. Many fine B&Bs have no web presence beyond a simple directory listing, while others offer a selection of flattering colour photographs, an availability calendar with easy on-line reservations, a toll-free telephone service and ample easy-to-navigate information. Unlike a large chain hotel, a locally-owned B&B is difficult to assess based solely on a standardised list of google. Each is as individual as its owners, many of whom are passionate about what they do and can make or break the B&B experience. Where available, comments from other travellers will usually make the picture clearer. A little “reading between the lines” will tell you a great deal and help you make the right quality choices for your vacation or break to ensure that your expectations are fully met.
