Why Stay in a Bed & Breakfast

One of the main advantages to staying in a bed and breakfast is the access that it provides to the inn keeper. This is a person who loved the area enough to establish a business that relies on other people wanting to visit the area. In our experience, the inn keeper always has the inside scoop on the best places to eat (aside from their inn for breakfast) and what visitors should check out in order to get the most out of their visit. Also, if you are considering moving to the area that you are visiting, make sure you let them know. They’re certain to have some insight!
