Guide To Stone Ridge Bed And Breakfast

By Lila Bryant


According Hosting Magazine, the trade magazine of the sector, there is a total of about 69,700 rooms independent bed and breakfast establishments. In many villages, the cottages are the only form of accommodation available. However, 6% of guest rooms are located in urban areas. In some areas, following a phase of growth, the tourism sector had to refocus the tourism products (accommodation included) to encourage Stone Ridge bed and breakfast quality.

Market research (2006 and 2007) shows that the shift from small scale lies with the provision of seven rooms. In other European countries, a limit of seven rooms is very common. A B&B is not comparable to a hotel or guest house in terms of activity, size and scale. The main purpose of such a property is small-scale provision of accommodation. This is unlike a motel or hotel whose main objective is the provision of meals and/or beverages for consumption on the premises.

The staff often consists of house owner and any family members who live in that house. The principle of guest house has been around since the dawn of mankind. For instance, monasteries used guest house lodgings when they visited some other places. Long before the twentieth century, travelers spent the night in private homes. This type of accommodation was particularly favored by European travelers. European settlers brought the principle of B&B into the United States.

Some countries established commissions to modernize the role of cheaper accommodation in promoting tourism. It was nevertheless recognized until much later through legislation, which continued to assimilate B&Bs into the mainstream tourism sector around the early twenty-first century. There are many cottages as there are owners and different houses. The reception is not standardized. Each owner has his way of doing what thinks leads to success of his venture.

Through internationalization, the sharp increase in numbers of travelers and the advent of Internet the concept of bed and breakfast was rediscovered. Since 2007, the sector received its own classification. The quality of B&Bs is identified by one to five tulips. By filling in a standard list on the Internet, participants are classified into one of five categories.

The guest must comply with specific rules for the activity. The main ones are the following: be located in a home inhabited by the owners, be rented per night with breakfast, be accompanied by benefits including at least the provision of linen, have access to a toilet and a shower room and observe all health, safety and sanitation requirements.

Meals can be served to guests staying in one of the rooms, only one menu to be offered and the meal should be taken at the family table with the owner. For alcoholic beverages, the owner must have a license. At a B & B guests can stay with families and they may sometimes choose whether they want to have their breakfast in bed or in the dining room.

In some regions, from 15 rentable beds an establishment automatically qualifies for a hotel and it falls under an entirely different set of rules. The total number of beds in a cottage does not count. It is in this case a cheap self-service option. A guest who after paying with his credit card at the reception area can gain access to a room.
