Ask any Gatwick Bed and Breakfast owner, and he would readily confess that the first reaction of most of their first-time guests is, ‘Hey! This isn’t what I expected or thought it would be like!’ Owing to ignorance, most people have nurtured quite a few myths regarding these accommodations. Let’s bust out a few myths and get you updated on facts about the actual truth.
Myth# 1: You have to share bathrooms
This is not true. Very rarely will a Bed and breakfast ask you to share a bathroom. Most provide you room with an attached bathroom that is meant exclusively for your personal use. If you are opting for a luxurious B&B, you can even enjoy a luxurious bathroom full of luxurious amenities like a shower jet, bathtub with Jacuzzi, etc. It can be truly once in a lifetime experience for you.
Myth #2: B&Bs are creepy
This is a wrong concept. The entire ambiance of a B&B is inviting and full of warmth. Most often, it has the personality of the owner stamped on it which gives it a distinct and unique aura. Often B&Bs are famous historical heritage buildings which their owners offer in rent. This helps them maintain the building while it allows you to get a taste of history and truly revel in the experience.
Myth #3: It is mandatory for you to interact and talk with other guests
This is also not true. Often people like staying in a B&B even in their city just to seek some peace and solitude. Whether you wish to indulge in a conversation with a fellow guest and strike deeper friendship is totally up to you. You can easily strike a conversation due to the opportunity available via a common dining and living room. However, if you wish to be left alone, you can always convey your feelings and expectations. You will not be disturbed.
Myth#4: It is like staying at your grandmother’s house
It is true to a certain extent but in a good way. Just like your grandmother, they can offer you a never-ending supply of homemade cookies and fuss over you to make you feel special and pampered. You can bask in love and care with a hot breakfast served right in your room if desired, a comfy chair, super soft towels with some personal touches, etc. Despite it, they offer all modern amenities like Wi-Fi, TV, etc. which cuts away the grandma like feel.
