3.0 out of 5 stars Little information besides lodging, July 3, 2000

This review is from: Weekends for Two in Northern California: 50 Romantic GetawaysThird Edition, Completely Revised and Updated (Paperback)

The reviews of bed and breakfast inns are good. We stayed at two of the properties listed during our honeymoon and the information on them is reasonably accurate. The photographs in the book are nice and give a better idea of the look af the inn.

With a title like "Weekends for two" I was expecting more information on dining and other activities in the areas. In many of the towns listed in this book there are great little romantic restaurants, trails for a walk, live theater, small wineries with amazing views, but there is hardly any information on this in the book. You may want to complement this book with a good guide that has more information on daytime activities. Or if you want just one book, go for the latest edition of the Best places to kiss in Northern California.

3.0 out of 5 stars Weekends for Two in Northern California : 50 Romantic Getawa, February 11, 2000

This review is from: Weekends for Two in Northern California: 50 Romantic GetawaysThird Edition, Completely Revised and Updated (Paperback)

Every page of this book is color picture of the BB, detail description of the rooms,and the price range. If you are interested only on the BB and places away from the touristy cities, you can find some interesting places where you may not heard of. Some of BB are kind in the high price range, like high $200 or $300.

Haven't even read it yet....but found it just the way I was looking for to "gift" a young couple a weekend away to celebrate their wedding anniversary!Much more fun to let them pick out the place than to plan it for them.
