Next... Time
To our dismay we have found out that the lovely little inn we were so interested in, complete with lavender field, is already in escrow. To make matters worse, we have fallen in love with the idea of the lavender field and having an inn that is in a more pastoral setting. Sadly, the inn we were looking at in Calistoga didn't have enough appeal to sway us otherwise. In the meantime, N has sent us a collection of books on how to run and B+B... so we'll be ready when the time comes!

This is a tardy comment, because I've been sitting on the question you asked Aug 20 ago about a long breakfast vs buffet.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree, buffet. People wake at different times, and usually just want to get started on their day. Buffet variety is important, and of course quality even more key.
I think dinners should be the attention-draw. Most likely people will want reservations to some of the famous restaurants in the area. Your concierge services can shine here. Ensure that your guests book ahead when they make reservations at your b&b, or work out a deal with local restaurants to save an open table for your guests (at least up to a certain date), etc...
Even better, open your own destination restaurant attached to the inn!
