Bed and Breakfasts
The following is a list of some fifty or so, Bed &
Breakfast establishments that we at
Serendipity Bed &
Breakfast ... or our guests ... have stayed at recently.
We feel
comfortable recommending them as they operate in a similar manner to us.
In each
case you are staying in the home of the hosts and they generally
only take one
or two other couples at the same time.
When we are travelling locally or
overseas we are always on the lookout for that
extra "Something Special" that offers us a delightful experience.
