Some Advice For B&Bers: 2

MandRhodVertBedWeb

Now that we have talked a little bit about finding the perfect location for you, let’s go ahead and talk about booking the actually bed and breakfast.  For example, if you have any diet issues or are allergic to anything, you want to make sure that the breakfast that they are going to be serving is something that you can eat.  Also – a lot of bed and breakfast places allow pets or even have pets of their own, if you have an allergy, you want to make sure that you ask.

Smoke is also a concern to some people.  While many bigger hotel chains are going smoke-free, bed and breakfast inns are not always the same thing, so make sure that you keep that in mind.  Also, if you are bringing your children, some B&Bs do not allow children.

All of these things are very, very important and should be addressed before you book your reservation!
