Do Some Advance Research

It's a good idea to do some research about a bed and breakfast before you visit - your idea of 'romantic' may be very different from someone else's! But remember that many guidebook authors stay for free when reviewing a bed and breakfast, and thus you may have to read between the lines to get an idea of the place. Does 'cozy' mean comfortable or cramped? Does 'friendly' mean gracious or intrusive? Read carefully, and whenever possible, consult visitors' reviews. Many e-mail discussion lists and sites on the web allow guests to share their experiences. After your stay, return the favor and write your own review!
