Check On Line For An Ulster County Bed And Breakfast

By Coleen Torres


Everyone needs a break once in a while. One of the nicest ways to take a short break is to head to the beautiful countryside and stay in a small family operated establishment. The guests will enjoy a great time, home cooked food and have the advantage of local knowledge.

Busy professionals and couples need to relax and unwind now and then. Even going away for a day or two can make a world of difference. It is often that psychological advantage of knowing they have something to look forward to that keeps them going through the tough times. Spending a night or two at a beautiful Ulster County bed and breakfast is the perfect way to experience real country living at its best.

B and B's offer great year round breaks. Many people like to take a few days mid week to take advantage of lower rates, fewer crowds and the opportunity to really enjoy the area like a local. There is so much to see and do. Those who love the great outdoors will find many different sports and activities. These range from a quiet walk to a more adventurous time such as rock climbing or horseback riding.

After enjoying a hearty home cooked breakfast most guests only need a light lunch. However, by the evening they will be looking for a place to eat. The hosts are typically a wealth of local knowledge. They can offer ideas and recommendations about the best restaurants in the area.

It is now quite typical for the owners to shop locally and take advantage of any fresh produce. Summer time is perfect for delicious fresh fruits such as peaches and berries. These can be served fresh or made into wonderful jams and jellies that will make any breakfast extra special.

Much of the charm of this type of vacation is finding a really unique place to stay. Many of the accommodations are in old homes or buildings. They are renovated to a high standard and offer every modern convenience. Ratings will show which offer the most additional amenities. This can range from wireless internet access for those who plan on keeping in touch with the rest of the world, to quiet reading rooms for those who really want to get away from it all.

High quality linens and towels can really make a big difference. There is nothing to compare with snuggling into a bed with Egyptian cotton sheets and a warm, comfortable feather duvet. The decor should be warm and welcoming with its own style and charm.

Booking on line is very easy. It also allows the guests to see where they will be staying. Even the smallest of operations now has its own web site. The guests can really get a good idea of the rooms and where they will be staying. It is certainly worth checking the guest comments area to see what the previous guests have had to say. This can often be the determining factor in bookings. Those who have a great say will often make a point of spending a few minuets writing their own review as a way to say thank you to their hosts.
