Choosing the Perfect Bed and Breakfast
By:Bed and breakfast inns can be a charming addition to your honeymoon plans. They provide private and individually decorated rooms for their guests and common areas for the use of all the guests at the inn. The innkeepers are usually friendly wellinformed hosts who can give you a wealth of advice and information about the area you are visiting.
When making your reservation you will need to inquire about checkin and checkout times. Most B&B inns do not have a 24hour checkin staff. Some inns have both shared baths and private baths. Most people prefer a private bathroom. Some allow pets or smoking many do not.
If you have a more modest honeymoon budget you can book a midweek package. This may include one or more of the following: two nights lodging (queen bed; private bath) full breakfast each morning fruit and cheese tray on arrival bottle of local wine picnic lunches for two passes to local resorts and a box of Belgian chocolates.
The breakfast at a B&B should be flexible to some degree. Many are disappointed to find they are only offered a continental breakfast. And some inns ban inroom eating. These are questions you need to address before booking the reservation. (The inns website will not necessarily give you the answers.)
Your innkeeper can make romantic restaurant recommendations and even make reservations in advance. With a locals knowledge they will tell you the best things about their area that you wont see in the guidebooks. They will tell you what is overpriced and overcrowded in their area. They may even have coupons or discounts associated with restaurants bars museums recreation and resorts.
