Seeking a Bed and Breakfast

Honeymoons are magical and special moments in your new life as man and wide! If you are seeking peace and quiet, then why not consider staying at a bed and breakfast? These are often secluded and quiet places where the two of you can relax and enjoy each others company to the fullest.

A bed and breakfast inn can make the two of you feel special and before you go and book, why not ask some questions.

Do they have a honeymoon package?
What features can they offer to make your honeymoon better than someone else? What facilities can they offer - horse riding, bike riding?

Do the innkeepers reside in the house?
Some Bed and Breakfasts operate as guesthouses; while management might be on property during the day, at night it's just guests on the grounds. At other properties, you'll find the owner or manager living right in the house. The atmosphere in these two situations is usually very different. An on-site manager and owner usually make the property far more like home, enabling the guests to interact more.

Are the innkeepers professional innkeepers or is the property managed by the owners?
The term " B&B" can mean many things: a home with extra bedrooms rented to guests, a small inn, a property with multiple guest rooms and professional hosts. You will find that the atmosphere is very different from property to property. You will also hear the term " country inn" or " small inn" used frequently; this often means a Bed and Breakfast that has a small restaurant on site.

Do all rooms have private baths?
Is smoking allowed indoors?
Many Bed and Breakfasts are non-smoking; if this is a concern, ask. You'll find some Bed and Bs that prohibit smoking outdoors while on property as well.
Do you have private two-person tables if we want breakfast alone?
How many guest rooms does the property have?

Here are some more questions to consider asking before you decide which Bed and Breakfast to stay at for your honeymoon.

Is breakfast served at one time or as guests arrive?
At some Bed and Breakfasts, breakfast is served at a set hour. If you sleep late, you may lose when it comes to the morning meal at some properties. If the two of you plan to sleep in (or if you're early birds), check on this policy.

Do you really want to start your morning with a family-sized table of fellow travelers?
Sometimes this can be a fun situation plus a great way to get to hear the impressions of your fellow travelers about a destination. At other times, " you want to be alone."

What amenities does the Bed and Breakfast offer?
