Guide To Stone Ridge Bed And Breakfast

By Lila Bryant


The demand for guest houses has grown. B&Bs are no longer seen as a low-budget tourist accommodation but as an attractive alternative to the usual hotel or motel room. There are Stone Ridge bed and breakfast establishments that offer amenities which are not inferior to the most luxurious lodgings. The term B&B has become globally recognized. A B&B with more than seven rooms is more like a guest house or hotel. It is difficult to be operated by one or two people and staff will need to be hired.

The term B&B has its distant origins in the hospital vocation of religious institutions. In its modern usage, the use of the term and its development are closely linked to the rise in tourism, the countries of Central Europe are pioneers in this development. The guest house concept appeared in some countries in the early nineteenth century in imitation of wealthy families from the city of Bremen.

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.

In Wallonia, the cottages belong to the category of tourist accommodation category and are governed by specific provisions of the bed and breakfast code. The generic term guest can be supplemented by the term farm if the rooms are located on a working farm. An operator cannot offer more than five guest rooms, and will use the term guest house if the building has more than three rooms for accommodation. The licensee shall personally welcome customers, and must provide breakfast.

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 sector is dynamic and there are many innovations of guest rooms each year which offset the closures. The B&B craze has grown in recent years with the emphasis on responsible tourism and sustainable development. In addition to a willingness to enjoy natural attractions and to experience a personalized welcome.

That is not to say that no high standard of accommodation is offered.There are various degrees ranging from very simple to very luxurious night stay. It is up to the owners of a guest house to decide whether they want classification or not. The distinction between B&B and hotel is based on the number of beds.

Some consider that the activity of guest rooms is at a turning point with the emergence of two categories of owners with opposing ambitions: neo-owners who professionalize a facility to seek profitability. Difficult to quantify, but they employ project managers and run some administrative offices. They are younger and better organized as professionals. These homeowners are investing in both rural and urban areas.
