A bed and breakfast, often referred to as a B&B, is a lodging typically operated out of a large single family residence where guests can be accommodated at night in private bedrooms (which may or may not be equipped with private baths) normally offer breakfast, sometimes Continental and sometimes the full English variety, is served in the morning. In Ireland, most B&B’s serve a traditional Irish breakfast as a point of satisfaction. The business may be operating either as a
Primary occupation or as a secondary source of income, and the staff often consists of the house's owner(s) and members of their family who live there.
It is possible for guests to stay more than one night, but in some cases, they will be expecting to be away from the house during the main part of the day. This arrangement however is generally found to be convenient, for many of the more popular B&B’s are located in beach and mountain areas. Because most B&B’s are small, rarely with room for more than about 10-15 guests, it is advisable for anyone wanting to stay at a bed and breakfast to make reservations well in advance of their travel date. Consultation with a qualified travel agent knowledgeable in this type of accommodation is recommending; many B&B’s belong to associations, have a web presence, and are describing various books and travel guides.
