Talking about B & B, usually there are two definitions: "bed-and-breakfast home/house" and "bed-and-breakfast inns."
"A B&B inn is a multi-room structure wholly devoted to transient visitors. It is often a
place of exquisite decor, down comforters, punctilious attentions, and cinnamon croissants
(or strawberry-flavored quiche) for breakfast. Its prices are often higher than those
of hotels".
A B&B home is a normal private family that has one or two spare rooms
for occasional paying guests. It usually charge 40% to 50% less than comparable hotels all over the country.
The following we listed some leading "B&B home" reservations organizations.
these organizations help pre-screening/inspecting each lodging to ensure its suitability
for transient visitors and to maintain extensive phone lines and reservations personnel.
Local Division of Tourism or Chamber of Commerce are always good source for B&B search.
You always can use Google "B&B home" and your destination city to help find more
choice.
