Guide To Stone Ridge Bed And Breakfast

By Lila Bryant


The guest rooms are furnished homestay facilities to accommodate tourists, for one or more nights. This type of accommodation emerged in Central Europe in the nineteenth century and has developed over the years. Stone Ridge bed and breakfast helps boost local tourism by offering a cheaper alternative to travellers. B&Bs were initially proposed as a form of rural tourism in addition to agricultural activity but are now prevalent in urban areas.

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.

In some countries, activities of B&Bs are governed by decrees. These limit the number of rooms that can be offered by an operator. It specifies the need to first obtain a permit issued by the relevant tourism authority. Apart from detailed information on the amenities offered, the regulatory regime imposes minimum opening periods to at least four months a year.

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.
