Bed and Breakfast Guide
Our bed and breakfast guide serves to direct or indicate which bed and breakfast will normally possess an area-specific qualification usually issued and/or recognized by the appropriate authority on that bed and breakfast. Tourist Guides are useful too. They are representatives of the cities, regions and countries for which they are qualified. It depends largely on them if you as a visitor feel welcome, want to stay longer or decide to come back. They therefore contribute considerably to the perception of any bed and breakfast and the destination that surrounds it. Our bed and breakfast guide can be utilized in both print and electronic edition, our website. Our website is can be updated often and our print edition generally only annually or occasionally.
Although Bed and Breakfast guides have been in print for many years, their popularity has only grown substantially over the past few years. LanierBB is proud to highlight Founder and Author Pamela Lanier who was inspired to write The Complete Guide to Bed and Breakfasts, Inns, and Guesthouses after traveling extensively in Europe, staying in Bed and Breakfasts along the way. Pamela often using local bed and breakfast guide books to find the perfect bed and breakfast in every new city she discovered. Upon her return to the United States, Pamela noted that there were actually a number of bed and breakfast lodgings being developed in this country; especially on both coasts. Lacking a comprehensive central bed and breakfast guide, it was hard for bed and breakfast aficionados to find the bed and breakfast of their dreams. She set about to rectify that situation. The first edition of The Complete Guide to Bed and Breakfast, Inns and Guesthouses was published in 1982 and included 1200 properties. Today’s 25th anniversary print edition features over 25,000 properties worldwide in 130 countries. This has become a classic and “perennial bestseller” with over 2.5 million copies editions in print. The New York Times said, “…like Michelin’s travel guide.”
A Bed and Breakfast guide such as The Complete Guide to Bed and Breakfast, Inns and Guesthouses and its companion websites www.LanierBB and www.travelguides.com allow travelers to search from a variety of different lodgings including: bed and breakfast, country inn, historic hotel, lodge, guesthouse, urban bed and breakfast, small resort, cabin, guest ranch, farmhouse accommodation, working farm and ranch vacations.

A bed and breakfast guide may contain detailed listings complete with photos, descriptions, amenities, rates, and nearby attractions pertinent to a certain property. This guide might also serve to explain about a certain city/region making it appealing to visitors. The guide, in electronic form, may also provide links for the traveler to help further their search and understanding of the area.
Besides searching geographically, you can specify whether you’re looking for a family place or a romantic getaway, select such amenities as historic locale or vegetarian food, and even limit your choice bed and breakfasts to what you may book online. Most bed and breakfast pages feature an extensive photo gallery and link to a map describing the exact location of the property. Some even tell you which room is the best in the house, so you know what to ask for.
