Staying At A Bed And Breakfast Woodstock NY

By Anita Ortega


Running a bed and breakfast is a very rewarding job. Many people dream for years of opening their own establishment and welcoming guests from all over the country and even abroad. They will get to meet a wonderful variety of travellers, so of whom are just looking for a local weekend getaway, whilst others may be on a six month tour of the eastern states and be anxious to learn more about this beautiful area.

Finding the right building with a good location is crucial. Most bed and breakfast Woodstock NY have between two and four guest rooms. This enables the owners to do all the work themselves and still maintain very high standards. The rooms should be spacious and in perfect decorative order. Most people like to go with a theme for each room. This may be connected to local historic figures or simply colors, such as the blue room and yellow room.

It is the atmosphere that visitors today are looking for. Big hotels may be convenient but they are also very impersonal. Guests know they are one of many and they cannot really expect anything out of the ordinary. On the other hand staying at a locally run B and B is one of the best ways to really learn about the area and meet some great people along the way.

Most of today's guest expect to have their own en suite bathroom. As long as there is a shower, toilet and hand basis this is perfectly sufficient. Upgrades would include a jacuzzi tub or luxury bathroom. Those who are just staying for a night on their way somewhere will usually be happy with the basics and a good hearty breakfast.

The morning meal is the key to success. Guests love to get up to the smell of bacon and sausages frying and a pot of freshly ground coffee. The hosts should also be aware of any allergies and be ready to offer their guests some alternatives. One of the keys to success is to only use the very best and freshest ingredients. All baking should be done from scratch and processed or packaged foods should be a last resort.

The tables in the dining room are the perfect opportunity to create a positive and lasting impression. Furniture should be purchased that compliments the character of the room. Beautiful linen table clothes may take some extra care but add a wonderful old fashioned feel that is so rarely seen these days.

Investing a good set of china dishes, cups and plates will also add a new level of sophistication to the room. Guests will walk in and be thrilled to see such elegance and tradition available to them. Every last request must be responded to quickly and efficiently.

Those who run a successful B and B work very hard and have an excellent eye for details. They also really care that their guests have the best possible experience. Many have spent a lot of years in the service industry and know just what guests are looking for.
