Bed and Breakfast is also termed as B&B and it is a small accommodation where the guests are given accommodation facilities and breakfast. The name given to these small private guest houses is because in these houses guests are given only accommodation and breakfast and no other meal. This term was originated in United Kingdom but now it is used all over the world. There are less than 10 bedrooms in a typical Bed and Breakfast. These accommodations are used for the commercial purpose.
Bed and Breakfast accommodations are designed very simply to keep their costs low. The guests are generally accommodated in the private rooms and there are private bathrooms in each room. There are some accommodations in which there is a private bedroom with a bathroom but the bathroom is usually shared between the guests. Private rooms of Bed and Breakfasts are not luxurious rooms but they are designed to provide maximum comfort to the people. No other meal is served in these rooms and the breakfast is served in the rooms of the guests or in dining rooms.
Most of the Bed and Breakfasts are operated as private and primary businesses of the individuals but some of the individuals are also running this business as a secondary source of income. In many Bed and Breakfasts the owner or the runner of the business does maximum of the work on his own like cleaning of the rooms and cooking etc. In relatively large Bed and Breakfasts professional staff for cleaning and cooking is hired. In order to keep Bed and Breakfasts different from the Small Hotels, professional management is not hired in these accomodations. In these guests rooms high standards of services are not offered therefore, Bed and Breakfasts are usually considered as the tertiary business.
Bed and Breakfast also operates in the niche markets for example Floating Bed and Breakfasts. The first Floating Bed and Breakfast was introduced in Seattle Washington.
These small guest houses are made in a boat or houseboat and Bed and Breakfast services are offered there. Although Bed and Breakfasts are available all over the world but their services can vary on the basis of the national differences.
In addition, there are proper laws and regulations implemented on all Bed and Breakfasts but these regulations can vary in each national jurisdiction. The primary requirement in all Bed and Breakfasts is the safety. According to regulations, Bed and Breakfasts should have proper rooms, bathrooms, proper fire escape plan in space and smoking detectors in all of the rooms. Therefore, all of the necessities are offered in Bed and Breakfasts.
Hence, a Bed and Breakfast is the best option for the travelers who are not able to afford the high expenses linked with accommodating in Hotels and Inns.
