WHAT IS A GUESTHOUSE
A guesthouse is exactly what it sounds like – where you are a 'guest' in a 'house'.
You get a room and something to eat in the morning. Within that simple'house' definition you could stay in a coastal house with sea views,a stylish town apartment or a farm cottage.
Breakfast could be a giant fry up, a self-serve buffet or anything in between.
We like to think of it as it’s more like staying with a friend who has a really great house.
ARE GUESTHOUSES STILL POPULAR?
They most certainly are and always will be.
Some people take a dim view of them, worried about enforced conversation over breakfast and feeling on their best behaviour in someone else’s house, but those people have either been staying in the wrong kind of guesthouse, missed the point, or both.
The right kind are run by people (like us !)who know how to treat guests, whether that means sitting down and planning an itinerary with them or leaving them in silence until at least after coffee.
A good host is understanding and interesting enough to make conversation flow when it needs to and stop when you need it torem Ipsum is simply dummy text.
ARE GUESTHOUSES CHEAPER THAN HOTELS?
They are often slightly cheaper, although it’s not really a direct comparison.
Guesthouses tend to be smaller than hotels, meaning a more personal service and greater flexibility.
Generally, they have fewer staff and no restaurants, gyms or spas to maintain, so their overheads are often lower and prices might well be too
WILL I HAVE TO TALK TO PEOPLE AT BREAKFAST?
You don’t have to, but try it! You might like it.
A good host is a good judge of which guests are ready to talk and which need a moment to ease into the day, but a chat over that first cup of tea about plans for your trip is one of the best things about a guesthouse.
It gives you a chance to get excited about what you’ll be doing, swap suggestions with other guests, choose a lunch stop and find out where the locals go.
