Synopsis

Bed and Breakfasts are small, owner-operated businesses. Typically, they include three to fifteen guestrooms. Small hotels and inns may have more than fifteen rooms and often have a restaurant that offers dinner as well as breakfast. The small size of these establishments allows guests to receive generous hospitality and personal attention. In order to be recognised for inclusion in the National Trust's Guide, an establishment must be at least 50 years old and have retained the integrity of its original architecture and craftsmanship. This updated edition, offers nationwide coverage of over 600 rural and city lodgings - including some more unusual ones such as a Great Lakes' lighthouse; a Hawaiian pineapple plantation; and a sailor's boarding house in Maryland! It includes details of changes in rates, phone numbers, wheelchair access information, restrictions, and proprietors, and now also contains e-mail addresses. Furthermore, it lists only those establishments recognised as historic structures by the National Trust. Therefore, readers can be sure that all lodgings detailed are architecturally interesting and historic structures.
