Bed & Breakfasts and Country Inns Book Review & Giveaway Plus 1 Free Night Stay!!

~~~THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED~~~

Andrew and I love staying at Bed & Breakfasts. We started staying at B&Bs before we had Ethan and even now we choose them over hotels anyday! If you have never stayed at a B&B you are totally missing out. The ones we have stayed at are always super clean and the owners are really nice. Plus you get a wonderful homecooked breakfast each morning. No instant powdered eggs here! A lot of B&Bs offer treats in the afternoon or evening that you can grab at anytime.

Just because you have kids doesn't mean you still can't stay at a Bed & Breakfast. We have stayed at B&Bs since having Ethan and it was a pleasant experience. All of the ones we have stayed at the rooms are nice and large so the pack'n'play fits nicely into the room.We feel that the rooms are nice and insulated so he does not bother anyone next door to us.

I admit, we have had one bad experience staying at a B&B. One of the worst problems we had with this one B&B was that it didn't have it's own private shower, just a tub. I'm a shower girl and have to wash my hair everyday. I was also 6 1/2 months pregnant and didn't like the thought of leaning over the tub to wash my hair. There was no info on the website that told us that it did not have a shower. If I had used a Bed & Breakfast Directory like iLoveInns.com I wouldn't have had that issue!

The Bed & Breakfasts and Country Inns book is a compliment to the iLoveInns.com website. This is a handy guide featuring nearly 1,000 inns. The inns in the book plus 400 more listed online participate in the One Free Night Certificate that is included with each book. The book lists the B&Bs by state and county. Under each inn, information is included about the time period the inn was constructed and about the accommodations. I love the ease of the book. It is nice to have something at my fingertips that I can look at anytime. Plus the certificate will save you $100-$450 on your stay! We are planning a trip this fall when we will use our One Free Night Certificate and I will be sure to blog about it.
