"Wake up and 'Brew' the Coffee" and all else you have to do.
A friend of mine lent me his copy of this book so I could get a better idea of what it takes to own and run a B&B. It is quite a romantic notion to own a B&B when you stay in one. When you read this book you will find that there is a lot behind the scenes including tons of laundry. Have you thought about how to cook for 12 people at once? How about handling slow...

Upstart's the word.
Dear Sirs, I have been running a B&B from my home off and on for 3 years and find the book lacking in enthusiasm and just the love of having guests to look after from all over the world.

This review is from: Upstart Guide Owning & Managing a Bed & Breakfast (Paperback)
A friend of mine lent me his copy of this book so I could get a better idea of what it takes to own and run a B&B. It is quite a romantic notion to own a B&B when you stay in one. When you read this book you will find that there is a lot behind the scenes including tons of laundry. Have you thought about how to cook for 12 people at once? How about handling slow times like off-season? Should you buy an existing B&B or create your own within your current home. This books helps with these questions and more, plus profiles of existing B&B's and lots of resources for B&B owners. Excellent guide!

Dear Sirs,
I have been running a B&B from my home off and on for 3 years and find the book lacking in enthusiasm and just the love of having guests to look after from all over the world. She (the author) states you must keep time for yourself. My impression was (I read the whole book on a rather long bus journey) that she couldn't wait to get to the pub! I don't drink but I could almost smell the glass of wine she was drinking as she wrote this book. I find the job of being a landlady fun and as it says in the Bible quote 'don't forget to entertain strangers as they may be angels'. When it stops being fun and life enhancing then I will pack it in and get a dog! |
