What's the difference between a B&B and a hotel - Part III

I had an e-mail from one of last summer's guests about this series of blogs who reminded me of a discussion we had had...Martin had asked me if I viewed 40 Bay Street Bed & Breakfast as a business, where I also lived, or if I viewed it as my home that I opened up to guests? He also noted that I hardly thought about it, answering quickly that I opened up my home to guests; and treated people staying here as such, not as a business. (Let's not tell my accountant that!)

When I originally decided to do blogs about the differences between hotels and B&Bs, it was to help people who had never stayed at a B&B to understand some of the differences they could expect between the two types of accommodation. And in doing so, I guess I overlooked one of the key differences! So, what do we do to treat you as a guest? Our libraries of books, music and pillows; the opportunity to eat breakfast when you would like it, and a choice of what to eat, our conceigiere service and advice on what Parry Sound and area has to offer are just a few of the little details that set us apart.

So, I guess we'll never win the award of entrepenuer of the year award, but at least we'll sleep well at night, knowing we've tried our best to make your stay the best you've ever had at a B&B!
