By Anita Ortega


Going away for a few days vacation is a treat for anyone. Busy professionals and families often have a very difficult time getting away and this means that their time is very precious. They often have to plan months ahead in order to secure time off and possibly baby sitters as well. Spending a night to two at a bed and breakfast is the perfect option for a relaxing getaway.

These traditional lodging places developed centuries ago as a way to provide rooms and food for travellers. It also offered local people an excellent opportunity to make some much needed money. Guests could enjoy the company of their host and other visitors as it was typical that they all shared the same table. This created a wonderful home away from home atmosphere. In today's busy world a quiet bed and breakfast Woodstock NY is the perfect retreat.

Older homes really lend themselves well to creating a great home away from home. A large Victorian house can be the perfect place to convert to a family run B and B. Even if extensive repairs are needed this may not be a bad thing. It will enable the owners to create their own vision of what they want. It is often easier and cheaper to start from scratch and create a really functional lay out, rather than deal with what someone else left behind.

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.

Practically all bed and breakfasts today offer their guests en suite bathrooms. All this information should be on the web site and a quick email is usually all it takes to answer any questions. Guests should also look to see if the property is registered with a local group that monitors and maintains standards. Checking the on line guest book for comments is also a good way to find out what other people thought and how they rated their stay.

No matter where they choose one of the keys to long term success is good advertising. One of the first steps is to get registered and certified with the local tourist board. The offices typically maintain lists of available accommodation and help tourists to find the perfect place to stay.

Having a good web site is also important as it can bring in a lot of extra business. The site should have lots of pictures of the rooms, dining room and even the gardens and outdoor areas. Positive comments from previous guests can also be very valuable and help to increase trade.

The Woodstock area is very beautiful and many visitors arrive each year from the New York City area. Most are looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway, so they can physically and mentally recharge their batteries. When they find a really great B and B they will not only want to come back, but also be more than happy to recommend it to their friends.
