Get To Know The Values Of Bed And Breakfast Accommodation Part 1

If you are a visitor to a new town and plan to stay overnight, then you will need to find clean, comfortable accommodation. If your trip is connected with a special event such as a football match, concert or a University graduation ceremony, or if you need easy access to an airport or seaport from your chosen destination, then it is important to book your accommodation early.

If you are intending to fly from East Midlands Airport, then you could book a room in a Derby, Nottingham or Leicester bed and breakfast, as all of these towns are within very close proximity of the airport. You could stay in a chain hotel, but many people prefer the personal homely touch that a Leicester bed and breakfast offers to the overnight visitor. With Leicester’s easy transport links, you can be at East Midlands Airport within thirty minutes.

Although you might think the opposite is the case, staying at a Leicester bed and breakfast rather than in a standard hotel actually offers you more amenities. In fact, hotel rooms tend to be basically the same as far as comfort and decor are concerned. A hotel might give you more living room, but bed and breakfast accommodation can provide a more intimate and homely atmosphere, as well as being very competitively priced. Freshly laundered sheets, comfortable beds and clean bathrooms are all provided at Leicester bed and breakfasts. However, the “breakfast” element is where a B&B really comes into its own.

The great advantage is that the truly personal service means that you can order a breakfast exactly to your liking. Do you like your eggs boiled for two minutes precisely? Do you like your bacon as crispy as possible? Do you have a gluten allergy and need to eat wheat-free bread and cereals? No problem! Just let the proprietor know in advance and he or she will be only too happy to cater for your individual needs. Service with a personal touch such as you might find in a Leicester bed and breakfast is impossible in a chain hotel, where the chef needs to cater for a great many people at any one time. Furthermore, with most guest houses being on the small side, you won’t have to compete with other busy guests for attention or for a good table. Many hotel chains have a self-service breakfast buffet and if your eggs or bacon isn’t cooked exactly as you like it, then tough luck! You get what you are given.

Flexibility wins every time hands down for B&Bs. Maid service at hotel chains is run on a strict schedule, but when you stay at a Leicester bed and breakfast, you have the freedom to arrange cleaning times with the proprietor, allowing you more time for your daily routine or exercise. The personal touch you get at B&Bs means that the proprietor will very likely know a lot about the surrounding area and will be able to recommend places of interest, beauty spots and good restaurants.

One of the biggest concerns for parents is when their child doesn’t eat. I had one of these picky eaters, and to see a kid eat three bites for each meal is really a little scary. You might think, “How can they survive?”

First of all, keep up with their regular, yearly doctor visits so that you can chart and record if they are growing at an average rate. If your child has always been in the 25th percentile on the growth charts, then that’s just your child and his or her uniqueness. But if your child started out in the 90th percentile and is now down to the 10th percentile, this will clue you and your doctor to investigate and find out if there is some type of serious problem.

Next, you have to take into account all the snacks, juice, and milk that you’ve fed your child between meals in order to accurately decide if your child is eating enough.

Children should not drink more than 4-6 ounces of juice per day. If they do drink more juice, this fills them up without giving them the variety of nutrients that they need. And juice does not include the full spectrum of nutrients that you will find if you feed them fresh fruit.

Water is as important for your children as it is for you. If they don’t like the taste of water, and don’t acquire a taste in a matter of days with water as their main option when thirsty, you probably need a water purifier. This will improve the taste and make it easier to persuade your children to drink water.

Another subject around kids eating is forcing kids to stay at the table and finish all of their food. It really doesn’t work to make your child sit at the table for hours. It never worked for me as a kid and I don’t suppose it worked if your parents made you sit for three hours, either. The theory these days is that if you force a child to always clean his plate, this will promote obesity. You want a child to recognize when they are full and not overeat.

One strategy for getting your picky eater to eat more at a meal is to cut down on snacks between meals so that your child is hungrier when meal time does come.

An example of this is when I realized that I was giving my light eater a snack only an hour and a half before supper because he was begging me for food and I wanted him to eat more. When I stopped feeding him whenever he asked for food and put up with the “I’m so hungry!”, his eating habits got better. A snack three hours before a meal is fine and recommended.

Also, do not give any more food, snacks, or dessert unless your child has eaten the previous meal. Put what they don’t eat–if you placed kid-sized portions (the size of their palm or fist) on their plate in the first place–in the fridge and if they are hungry later, pull the plate out of the fridge and heat it up. It almost never fails that they eat some more of their supper at this later time. If not, they go to bed hungry and eat pretty well at breakfast. You just have to stick to your rules, so the child knows what to expect.

Side note: You are doing your children a disservice if you make special meals for them instead of the meal you are cooking for yourself. This encourages the picky eater to continue to be picky. You will do your children a favor if you serve a variety of foods and give them exposure to different tastes and textures. They don’t have to like everything. They do have to try everything.

Sometimes when I say “no dessert unless you finish your supper”, my light eater will finish his supper and not want any dessert because he’s full. This is OK!

There’s also the picky eater that only eats the meat at one meal, or only the vegetable or only the pasta for another meal. You have to look at the overall intake of food over several days to judge if your child is getting enough of a variety of foods. If they only eat pasta every meal, this is a problem. But if they vary between the different food groups- meats, grains, dairy, fruits and vegetables-then you probably don’t have to worry about severe deficiencies.

Offer your child raw fruit or raw veggies at every meal and snack, if possible. Encourage them to eat as much of these kinds of food as they like. A child can get lots of nutrition through fruits and vegetables. Few people realize that there is even a small amount of protein in most fruits.

Never tell your kids that they can’t have more of a raw fruit or vegetable, if they want more. If the food is raw, in its original state, children instinctively can tell when their body needs more. They will ask for more, so give it to them. They will not be able to verbalize why they need more of a certain raw food, but if they’re asking for more of something that’s good for them, allow it, please.

You cannot force your picky eater to eat, but you can offer only healthier choices, so that you know they are getting the nutrients needed to grow healthy and strong.

It’s morning. Time to get up. After getting dressed, brushing your teeth and combing your hair, your first thoughts are of the report due at work. Or the homework you didn’t get finished last night. NO! You should be thinking “I’m hungry!” What’s for breakfast? Good you are on the right track since breakfasts are the most important meals of your days. Your food tank is empty and it needs refueled. Otherwise you will be inattentive, draggy and darn hungry.

If time is a concern, try this quick breakfast. Fry an egg, breaking the yolk, and flipping it to cook completely. Sandwich it between two slices of buttered bread and you have a breakfast sandwich. Don’t forget the beverage of your choice and maybe a banana or apple and there is your morning meal taken care of. This is portable if necessary.

Even a slice of toast with peanut butter (and jelly?) and a glass of milk will suffice for another quick ‘recipe’ for breakfast. Hot oatmeal with fruit on top or a small spoonful of raisins and cinnamon is yummy. If you don’t like oatmeal, how about cream of wheat with brown sugar and milk and a blueberry muffin. Add fruit juice and your good to go.

A favorite of some folks is what they call Pizza Cheese Broil. Broil one or two slices of bread on one side in broiler, flip them over and top with a slice or two of sliced cheese. Add a small bit of tomato sauce or juice, spread around on the cheese with the back of the spoon. Sprinkle with garlic powder and ground oregano and broil til lightly bubbling. Don’t burn them!

Even a small hand full of carrot sticks and celery sticks or apples with peanut butter are acceptable breakfast foods. Actually, whatever sounds good to you in the morning is great as long as it does provide some needed nutrients. All breakfasts don’t have to include the magnificent egg. However, many folks wouldn’t start their day any other way.

Perhaps you had a little get-together last night. There’s a little pizza left over, so don’t believe those that say pizza cannot be healthy in the morning. Yes it is. Containing grains (crust), veggies (tomato sauce on the crust) plus a little meat of choice and a serving of cheese (dairy). Who says pizza is not good for you. Anytime.

When one has the time, making English Muffins from scratch is not difficult. Many recipes can be found showing the method. It is somewhat time consuming but very easy. When you toast your very own muffin and serve it with butter, jam or jelly along side the beautiful scrambled eggs you just made, what raves you will receive from your family.

The bottom line is, breakfasts are the most important meals of the day. Don’t miss them when there are all these wonderful ways to prepare them, quickly or at a more leisurely pace.

Eggs can play an important part of a healthy meal and are perfect for breakfast. They are an important ingrediant in many breakfasts. Don’t forget to buy eggs on your next trip to the grocery store.

New Island tourism fee unfair to B&Bs: owner – Yahoo! Canada News

Module body

Fri Sep 17, 1:54 PM

PRINCE.EDWARD.ISLAND (CBC) – The fee charged for a central reservation system on Prince Edward Island discriminates against small operators with only one or two rooms, says the owner of a Charlottetown bed and breakfast.

ADVERTISEMENT

Mark Robertson is lobbying the government to make changes to the Book PEI fees, and he’s urging other B&B operators to join his effort.

“It’s $100 if you have less than four units, and $150 if you have more than that. My complaint is that this doesn’t seem fair to the very small one- and two- bedroom operators, and I’m a one-bedroom one,” Robertson said Friday.

“So we’re paying the same as our neighbour down the road who has perhaps four times the income because he has four rooms. The more of us that speak up the more likely something is to be done for 2012. It’s too late to do anything about 2011.”

Book PEI has been in place for two years but this is the first year for the fees, which were due at the end of August.

Robertson has written Tourism Minister Robert Vessey outlining his concerns.

Tourism P.E.I. officials said there were many consultations with the industry about what rates should be charged.

Sebastien Manago, director of consumer sales for Tourism P.E.I., also said the system is voluntary.

“It’s an opt-in system you don’t have to have it. You have to be licensed on PEI to operate, but you don’t have to be part of Book PEI,” he said.

Menago added the system is heavily subsidized by government.

Paladino on Gay Rights Flap: ‘It’s Really Done’ ABC

my two year anniversary is coming up and i know my girlfriend loves more thoughtful gifts and this is one i know shell love. but i dont know anything about bed and breakfast. please send me any links or any information u can. as a note we saw that place cupids cabin from the movie bounty hunter and i was wondering if thats a real place or not haha thanks for any help

A smooth, soft, lustrous and warm bunch of pure silk threads…..that’s how a cute little Golden Retriever pup feels when you take it in your arms. But silk threads entangle quite easily and likewise a Golden can develop behavioural and health complications easily, if proper care and training is not provided. A puppy is just like a small baby. It will need nothing less than a heavy down pour of your love, care and patience; but definitely not without the planned, regular and careful thunders of strict training followed by a disciplined schedule. An occasional streak of lightning might also be required if your pup is the kind who would just not obey.

To start with food, feeding Golden Retrievers puppies requires special care and attention. This is a breed that loves to put on, but a few extra pounds can ruin your dog’s health. So be strict about the food from the beginning. You should always be able to feel its ribs when you rub its sides.

When you bring a Golden pup home, feed him the same brand of food that the breeder had been using and in same proportion. For the initial few weeks, you should provide moistened food for easy chewing. It’s recommended that a pup is fed thrice daily. A breakfast, lunch and dinner schedule should be followed. In the morning, provide food after taking your puppy out for emptying its bowels. After breakfast, take it out again. Remember, a pup’s bowel movements take time to set into a routine and it can’t ‘hold’. You will need to take it out after every meal.

It’s advisable to provide the pup with dinner at least two hours before you go to bed. This would give you time to take it out again on a bowel-emptying trip so that it can hold through the night. Time for the afternoon meal should be arranged mid-way between breakfast and dinner. Switch to feeding twice daily, when the pup reaches 12 weeks of age. The amount of food should not be reduced while switching from thrice to twice daily schedule. Divide the total amount of food that you had been giving in three meals, into two equal proportions. Don’t let your pup stick to the food. Take the food bowl away after 20-25 minutes even if it’s not empty.

The amount of food to be given each time would depend on the pup’s appetite. However, with the growing age, you should increase the amount of food gradually until you reach a level that is sufficient for a grown up Golden. You should increase the amount when your pup starts finishing everything that is provided to it, completely. Increase only up to 1/4th of a cup at a time.

A Golden is a power house of energy. It can go on playing and jumping around the house for as long as you allow. And the same holds true for a little pup as well. It sleeps often times a day. But when it is not sleeping, it will make sure that you are on your toes….up and after it. The more active your Golden remains the better. But you should provide disciplined training in order to keep it in control.

Draw strict lines for the pup regarding what it can do and what it can’t. Goldens are quite intelligent and they love to please. Your pup will learn easily if you reward it for obedience and show your dislike if it goes otherwise. Begin with making it understand and follow simple commands like ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘no’, ‘come’, ‘heel’, etc. Do not change the set of commands and provide training in small 10-15 minutes sessions, 2-3 times daily.

Provide proper food and training and your days with your Golden will surely pass as silk slips through hands.

Bed And Breakfast Marketing – Tips

Bed and breakfast marketing is not something you can ignore.

Whether you are running a traditional b & b, boutique-style accommodation, a guest house, country inn, gite or chambre d’hotes, it’s a competitive business. If you don’t stand out, you loose out. Sticking up a “rooms to let” sign just isn’t going to do it!

One of the most powerful tactics you can use to promote your accommodation is, of course, the internet. Like it or not the world wide web is having a massive impact on you and your customers. If you don’t have some kind of internet presence – either a website or a blog for your bed and breakfast – a massive slice of your potential income is going to someone else.

Sadly the internet is no longer the simple arena where, if you had virtually any kind of website, people would find you easily. Today the world wide web is maturing and growing at a phenomenal rate. It has become vastly more competitive and many bed and breakfast owners are finding that their websites aren’t bringing in the business they hoped. Just putting up a website and keeping your fingers crossed is no more effective than putting up a “rooms to let” sign but costs to advertise online are rising dramatically. Worse, a lot of that expensive online advertising is becoming less and less effective.

Is there a sensible, workable solution? Certainly the average accommodation owner can’t simply throw more and more money at their bed and breakfast marketing.

The answer to some extent is better management of your resources and better targeting. Don’t pay someone to submit your site to 400 search engines when submitting to Google, Bing and Yahoo will cover 99% of the market and you can do it yourself – for free. Before you spend a penny on registering with a bed and breakfast search engine (where thousands of your competitors are also listed) ask what you can do to make your own internet presence more effective.

As for targeting, it’s no good marketing a bed and breakfast at the whole US, or a gite at the whole of France. That’s an accidental mistake a lot of sites make. Instead, zero in on a smaller but more precise market. Who puts just “bed and breakfast” into a search engine? Nobody. They search for “Boise bed and breakfast”. They don’t search for “gite in France” they search for “gite in Valencay.” Try to think like your customer – then your bed and breakfast marketing becomes much easier because you simply provide what you know they are looking.

The other area it is important to check upon is your advertising. Remember that every establishment, whether it is a Leicester bed and breakfast or a five-star London hotel, needs to have a corporate image. This is more than just the sign outside your property. Pay close attention to the brochures and advertisements that you are putting in tourist locations, print media and on line. A recognisable logo and print style will help to establis
1000
h your brand and remember to use this on your headed paper and any other stationery. Check the grammar, spelling and layout of all your print media; any mistakes contribute to a poor brand image and look unprofessional.

Just because you’re skipping town doesn’t mean the allergens, dust, and germs that live in your home vacate as well. You may keep diligent with a cleaning regimen, but extra special cleaning ensures that a truly restful and relaxing getaway. As important as shutting all the windows and locking the doors, make sure to check these cleaning tips off your “To Do” list before you leave. Use common sense; depending on the length of your trip, you may want to add to or delete from this list.

• Empty your freezer and refrigerator of all perishable food items, such as milk, leftover meals, and fruits and vegetables. Check the expiration date on eggs, butter, and yogurt. If you’re leaving for more than a few weeks, unplug your refrigerator and open the freezer door to let it defrost. Leave an open box of baking soda to absorb the lingering odors. For the non-perishable food items that you store in the cupboard, like sugar and flour, make sure you tightly seal the containers. You don’t want to return home to find that unwanted guests—mice and ants—moved in during your vacation!

• Empty every sink and run the dishwasher the night before you leave, so that every dish is clean and put away. This way, should a mechanical problem arise, you can take care of it, whereas if you wait until the morning, you might come home to a flooded kitchen. If you plan on eating breakfast in the morning, try to avoid using dishes and utensils, unless you have the time to clean them right away.

• Empty all recycling and trashcans take the garbage bags out to the curb or alley so that it gets picked up while you’re gone. If you compost indoors, take advantage of this good opportunity transfer the scraps outside.

• Clean the toilets. If a toilet isn’t flushed for a few days or more, it gets that unsightly colored ring and begins to smell.

• Water your plants, and if your vacation is lengthy, set up an agreement with a friend or neighbor to come by and keep up the watering.

• Turn the thermostat down to about 55 degrees Farenheit. This step saves you money on your electrical bill and keeps any indoor plants cool.

• Close all windows, blinds, and curtains to protect your privacy and deter sun damage.

• Dust, sweep, mop, or vacuum all surfaces, especially floors.

• Clean off and wipe down all the countertops

• Do all the laundry, especially your bed linens. After they are washed and dried, fold and store them, and only when you return should you make the bed. This way, less dust accumulates on the surface and in the fibers.

• Close and lock all of the outgoing doors and garage, of course, but keep all interior doors (closets, bathroom, etc.) open so that the air can flow in the house while you’re gone and it won’t get as stuffy.

Another popular trend amongst vacationers is swapping, a process where you and another individual or family agree to exchange homes for a period of time. If you choose to embark on this adventure, consider it just another reason clean—even though you’re gone, you still have guests! Regardless of residents, a thorough cleaning provides you with a clean home upon your return. This way, thoughts of chores waiting for your return won’t distract you from your escape from reality.

Remember Those “Griswald” Type Family Vacations?

Those of us who have ever gone on vacation with small children remember how we used to be subjected to the abject horrors of packing them all into to a tiny motel room with two queen beds, one bathroom and a single television set. The kids had a great time, but it wasn’t really a relaxing vacation for us adults.

Fortunately, our children are now grown and living on their own. We still take family vacations, together and we are now all adults sleeping in separate hotel rooms. My sons seem to have given up on pillow fighting; tossing water balloons out the windows and pressing all the elevator buttons to frustrate the other hotel/motel guests. Then again – in separate rooms – we aren’t paying that much attention to their extracurricular activities anymore.

Another nice thing about having grown children is being able to get away more often, as a couple or with friends and stay at nice quiet places that thankfully do not caterer to families and pets. Bed and Breakfast Inns (B&Bs) sell couples romance, luxury, epicurean delight and relaxation. That is, of course, if they are marketing themselves as they probably should be doing.

When “Going Away” Feels More Like “Coming Home”

Friends of ours, Bob and Lynn Griffin own the “Australian Walkabout Inn” in Lampeter, Pennsylvania. Where is Lampeter, Pennsylvania some will ask? Quite alright, because we didn’t know such a place even existed before we stumbled upon the “Walkabout Inn” while searching the Web for a romantic getaway place with some old world charm, a cozy fireplace and yes…a hot tub right in our suite. These are all absolute requirements for my wife and me, by the way. These are things we never had at any Econo Lodge we ever stayed at with the kids.

The “Australian Walkabout Inn” (aka: Bob and Lynn’s place) is a comfy and cozy B&B right in the heart of the corn field and windmill laden Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Lampeter is just a couple of miles outside of downtown Lancaster, Pa. It is a little nondescript town far away enough from the heavily commercial Route 30 where the Amish House and Barn backs up to a Target retail store. Turns out, I set my GPS for Lampeter and there was the Australian Walkabout Inn when we finally arrived in heaven.

The problem for the owners and their guests is that the “Walkabout” really isn’t in a very obvious location and it gets very little drive by attention. This is actually a good thing for peace and quiet-seeking B&B fans, but it is also a slight impediment to Bob and Lynn’s marketing efforts. Ironically, they have been able to “turn a positive into a positive” by building a strong following for the Inn on the Web.

If Your Business Ignores the Web – the Web Will Ignore Your Business

My wife and I have been visiting the “Walkabout Inn” for nearly ten years and under three different owners. All were terrific people, but the Griffins seem to be doing the best job of making their B&B well known and respected throughout the region due to BOTH their focused online marketing strategies and aggressive offline activities.

Lynn and Bob seem to be doing all the right things with their Inn’s website and they are supporting their website very strongly through the use of targeted social media marketing. Unfortunately for my wife and me, it is now becoming rather difficult to get a suite at the “Walkabout” because it is nearly always booked – even in the offseason. People just love it – not only because of its nice amenities, but mainly because everyone has gotten to know and love Bob and Lynn Griffin. Lynn has been very successful creating a virtual “Australian Walkabout Inn” on her Facebook and she stays in touch with her regular clientele, daily. People don’t go away to the “Walkabout.” They come home to the “Walkabout.”

Unfortunately, not all B&B owners are as Web marketing savvy as Bob and Lynn Griffin. In fact, one of the principals at Avatar Business Intelligence recently shared the following online regarding the Social Media and Website shortcomings of many of their Bed and Breakfast marketing clients:

“I help business owners grow their business and I am amazed at the number of tourism businesses that fail to understand how their customers go looking for a place to stay at. Another point is to make sure that your website is ranked high in all the tourist directories in the country/state of the tourist not just in your own local area. Remember visitors plan accommodation before they leave home most of the time. Without a website you are missing out on over 60% of potential bookings. “

60% of your potentials bookings (!) is too big a number to yawn at.

Taking Stock of Your Business Website leads to Rising Stock in your Business Futures

The company I work for, RiaEnjolie, Inc. specializes in professional looking and affordable Websites for more than 70 small business categories, including Bed and Breakfasts. Experience has taught us that the Website is the focal point of all Social Media Marketing strategies. When you are engaged in Social Media and attracting attention for your business, it is a professional looking, content rich Website with a strong call to action that you need your potential customers delivered to. It is on your website’s homepage where they will form an opinion about your Bed and Breakfast. It is there where they will decide whether to make a reservation with you or to – instead – move on to another Inn that they find more appealing than yours.

Remember. My wife and I were looking for a charming little B&B with an in-suite fireplace and hot tub in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country. We never would have found the Australian Walk About Inn had these things not been listed on their website and their website not turned up by location by Google. Furthermore, had Bob and Lynn not presented us with a very appealing Website loaded with all the wonderful photos of their delightful Inn supported by lots of great selling points, we definitely would have looked elsewhere to stay.

It is a modern day reality that a website is more important to your future customers than it is to you. Just consider the following perceptions it creates for those coming upon your B&B for the very first time:

Why You Need an Effective Website

A website is a measure of viability and stability. A professional looking website implies both success and longevity. A well designed website makes it easier to be found by the search engines and your future guests using them. An information rich website is an absolute requirement. A website makes yours a global business. You can interface with future guests looking to come to your B&B from around the nation or around the world. If you do not have a website, many customers will not take you seriously. A well designed website presents evidence of your business acumen and staying power. If your website was created with advance thought given to understanding and meeting your customer’s needs, those coming to it will view your Inn as a leader in its category and capable of creating a memorable experience for you and your significant other. Your website will help your future guests locate you both on the Web and also at your physical location – even in Lampeter, Pennsylvania. Content is king and having all the right information on your website let’s people weigh your value against their needs.

Does Your Website Pass The Test?

1. Is your website’s design aesthetically pleasing?

2. How intuitive is your website to navigate?

3. Does your website have a clear statement of PURPOSE near the top of its homepage?

4. Is your website copy concisely written and richly informative?

5. Do you update your website content REGULARLY?

6. Does your website have a “call to action” on every page for your future guests to respond to?

7. Does your website’s index page draw visitors further into its content and to where you display and sell your products and contract your services?

8. Is your website designed to encourage future visits (i.e. is there a newsletter; a tell-a-friend feature; a blog with an RSS button to subscribe with?)

If you presently have a website, ask yourself all of the above questions about its quality of design and development.

If you are completely satisfied with your own answers to these questions continue on and seek out a seminar or webinar on “Effectiveness of Your Business Web Site” or some similar title. It’s worth your time and reasonable investment. Your website needs to work for your Inn as hard as you do.
