How
To Choose a Bed and Breakfast Vacation
The first thing to keep in mind when choosing
a bed and breakfast vacation spot is, what type of
country side do you and your spouse enjoy? A bed and breakfast vacation
is relaxed and informal and gives the happy vacationer a
chance to really see another part of the country, or even
another country. Some of the best B and B’s are located in
the old country for instance, in England, Ireland, Wales,
and Scotland. If you are able to travel to the United Kingdom
or the Republic of Ireland then you are in for a treat. The
people tend to be very friendly, and there are no language
barriers other than a few little quirks in the spelling of
some words. If you do decide to make the UK or the Irish
Republic your bed and breakfast destination, make sure that
you are close enough to sites you want to see to make day
trips. Also, pick up a guidebook. Years ago the guidebooks
told you how to see Europe on five dollars a day. These days
it costs a bit more, but a B and B still will offer an inexpensive
way to see a new country. Whether your ancestors came from
England, Wales, Scotland, or Ireland or from somewhere else,
the people of these countries offer hospitality that is unmatched
and a wonderful visit that you won’t soon forget.
Thinking
of staying closer to home while you try a bed and breakfast
vacation? How about New England? The northeast
United States is full of lovely bed and breakfast inns that
are quaint and charming, and offer New England hospitality
that is second to none. Vermont in the autumn is a popular
destination. Remember the old TV show Newhart, with Bob Newhart
playing the owner of a Vermont inn, and the three local yokels
Larry Darrel and the other brother Darrel? Well, the beautiful
scenery you saw in the background of that show is waiting
for you, as is a very nice little B and B. New Hampshire
is also available with a good variety of bed and breakfast
locations, and of course Massachusetts. Just minutes from
the Boston metroplex by car is the town of Walden, made famous
by Henry David Thorough. Also close by are the towns of Lexington
and Concord, made famous during the American war of independence,
and the little village of Salem, site of the witch trials
during the 1600’s. All of these locations include bed and
breakfast locations with history at your fingertips.
If you live in the Midwest and don’t have the time or budget
to go to the East Coast or across the big pond, you can find
a good bed and breakfast close to home. If you live in any
of the middle states you’re only a few hours drive from the
Ozarks Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas. Bed and breakfast
locations abound in these towns. Take Springfield, known
as the Queen City of the Ozarks. This third largest city
in Missouri is the home town of movie stars Brad Pitt and
Kathleen Turner, as well as former attorney general John
Ashcroft. But you’ve come here for a bed and breakfast, and
the Walnut Street Historic District is the best place to
go for that. Quaint little inns with friendly proprietors
and good food will make your stay.
Close by is the resort town of Branson, Missouri. Made famous
as an alternative to Nashville years ago, Branson is the
home of the Silver Dollar City theme park, the Shepherd of
the Hills outdoor play and music shows and theatres featuring
Bobby Vinton, the Osmond Brothers, Loretta Lynn, Roy Clark,
Jim Stafford, Ray Stevens, and many others. Branson is full
of bed and breakfast inns that will warm the heart and fill
the stomach, and all are in walking distance of wonderful
entertainment venues and tourist attractions. And if that
wasn’t enough, some of the world’s best trout fishing is
had in Lake Taneycomo just by sitting on the bank of Branson
City Park. It is easy to see that between the Ozarks, New
England, Ireland and the United Kingdom; there are more than
five basics to choosing a bed and breakfast vacation. In
fact, the choices seem almost limitless.
