A special thanks to Jocelyn and Mark for the beautiful video! We're so glad you found us and are looking forward to seeing you again! We welcome anyone to stop by or call us if you would like more information or to schedule a stay!
I run a B&B on Loch Ness (Pottery House) and agree with everything you say, however I would like to make a distinction for people coming to the UK, especially from the US. Here a B&B tends to literally be a spare room or rooms in someones home, so you may not get use of the garden or lounge, etc. Just a room with bathroom plus dining area for breakfast. The place you're showing in the video and all of the B&Bs I've stayed in in the US would be classed as a Guest House here in the UK, although both would be owner run, so you still get the great personal service.
johnlochness True! I was seeing this video while recalling my B&B experience in European cities where I’d stay if I can’t find a hotel room. They’re literally my last option and more often than not you get to share the bathroom with other guests, and oh, the breakfast is usually simple and made/offered with the cheapest ingredients & coffee. So I just go to any nearby coffeeshop. But of course if you go to the country then you’d find something like the one in the video.
@@seacoast4950 Generally yes, however there is a range of B&Bs just as there is a range of hotels. We're 4star and at peak season we charge £125 per night inc. breakfast. 4star hotels around here at the same time charge £200-£400 per night, often without breakfast.
My husband and I fell in love with the B&B experience on our honeymoon in Ireland. We bought the Bord Failte pass which was accepted by many hotels, but 99% of the B&Bs. The service was beyond compare, and by and large the food was really good and usually made with fresh, local ingredients. If we were getting ready to move on from one town to another, the hosts would often make B&B recommendations for you in the new town, and frequently offered to book them for you. Adding: Jocelyn did a lovely job with this video!
I drove by the Vrooman mansion this morning and was certainly surprised to then see it featured on your post just hours later. Thanks for featuring this grand, historic home in Bloomington! So wonderful that it is not only being cared for but also shared with appreciative guests.
Nice to hear from Jocelyn! Great points that I never thought of. I'm a late sleeper so I've never done the B&B thing because I don't want to have breakfast on their time schedule.
Jocelyn..you did a great job!! I am a huge fan of B&B's. I stayed in them quite often when I was a travel agent. I am wanting to stay in them more often. And before I noticed the notification I had been looking for a hotel when I go out of town to see Il Divo and a beautiful B&B caught my eye.
Beautiful and quite elegant. And Vrooman Mansion looks pretty good as well. Quirky I know but I like reading the last few pages of a B&B's guest book to see from where other visitors have traveled. 👍
I didn't like B&B's for a long time. I didn't want to socialize with the other guests first thing in the morning. But I guess I've mellowed and now I enjoy it.
Great video with lots of good reminders. Think I will plan more B&Bs on our next trip. I really love your new short hair cut! You look beautiful, Jocelyn.
Every time I try to convince my husband that we should stay in a B&B, he responds with; "that's how you end up in someones deep freeze in the basement". We have missed out on some amazing experiences because he watches too many movies. Thank you for this wonderful video!
Great video! I live in Bloomington! Know the Vrooman Mansion. Wow! Wish I knew you were "stuck" here I could've shown you the Do's and Don'ts of Bloomington, IL!! Ha ha
For decades I’ve been booking B&B’s and they are fantastic. It’s been a pleasure meeting up with people from all over the world for breakfast. Great memories from when my wife & I stayed in Vancouver, Vancouver Island, and soon we will B&B in Beaune France. Way better than staying in a large hotel where I feel like a mouse scurrying in & out of my mouse room.
Okay I never gave a B+B a thought but patronizing one to support their preservation is good incentive for me. And yes explore your local environs as you will find surprises that see how your community connects with the rest of the world. I love knowing how my hometown of Kokomo, Indiana was significant to supplying the nation with natural gas, the early Auto industry, metalurgy, and opalescent glass.
That bed and breakfast is beautiful. I loved the antique tub. It looks like it's in a nice area. Nothing like my train ride to work hoping the meth users on it don't decide to take my bike. I love your videos. It makes days like this not that bad, and helps plan future trips.
When my wife wants a stay-cation, this is my first destination: www.virginia.org/bedandbreakfasts/ When it's time to visit my family: www.ncbbi.org/member-inns B & Bs here in the States are always high quality accomodations. We've been using B&Bs for nearly 30 years: I"VE NEVER HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE.
I couldn't agree more. I try to stay in B&Bs whenever I can on my visits to USA. I have a few favorites that I keep coming back to, all in my favorite part of the country, Western North Carolina. And this summer I think I added one in Texas to the "keep coming back list". So if you ever go to Spruce Pine, Lenoir, Statesville or Winston-Salem, I know where you should stay. And now also in Bonham, Texas.
What a lovely video, and absolutely correct. I always look for a good B&B when I travel, they are much better if you are single also, hotels can be so inpersonal.
Nice to see Jocelyn. ❣️ Nice b & b. Say hi to the big guy. And here's thumbs down for the people who give thumbs down without reason. 👎👎👎👎( Yes that was childish. I know 😄)
Its worth to discuss the downside as well. I stay at BnB at my first choice but there are lot of hassles as well. You have to sync with the host or guest for check-in and check-out if its not automatic. Even if its automatic there can be mistakes by both sides. Both sides have to be very careful with each other, one bad incident can make the whole experience miserable causing negative reviews on each other. Not so good. :-/
In the USA the phrase 'B and B' clearly has a very different meaning to the one it has in Europe. In Europe (not just in Britain) a B and B is an ORDINARY family house with 1 or 2 or perhaps a few usually quite small spare bedrooms that house guests for the night and serves breakfasts but no other meals. See also the Comment from 'Mum Blic with which I agree.
Jocelyn, I'm wondering if you'd be interested in making travel segments specialized for women given that you travel so much and with 2 little ones. You can talk about challenges like traveling while on your menses or how to manage to look so cute and not spend so much time on doing hair and makeup, how and where to shop while traveling. Thanks.
Markwife needs more screen time! I could listen to her talk all day! Mark? Well...maybe 10 minutes every now and again after a few oat sodas. ;-) (Years ago, nobody I worked with believed I was married to my (erstwhile) wife because they never saw her and kept forgetting her name. Thus, she was labeled Andywife)
Good video but I would not call it a B&B. I have the feeling that this looks more like a boutique hotel (or themed hotel) When I think of a B&B: I think of a much more simple concept. A family house with 1 or 2 extra bedrooms that hosts guests. Something you find all over Europe (for example: Germany, Scotland, etc) Normally not a fan of classic style: but this boutique hotel/B&B (;-)) looks very interesting. It's feels more like time traveling! Thanks for tip.
I would disagree. They have it set up much more in the B&B way than the boutique hotel. There is no front desk, no hotel feel at all. It is a huge old mansion so that gives it that feel, but we have stayed at Boutique hotels that were former homes and this one and there was definitely a difference.
@@ProfessorWolters Hi Professor I understand what you are saying, but my argumentation is also based on how I perceive a B&B. As a kid I traveled all over of Europe (with parents) and always stayed at a B&B. It was always a private home with normally no more then 3 bedrooms for guests and one little side room for breakfast, shared bathroom, the rest of the house was living space for the owners. There was never staff. Always ran by a family. I know that the last 20 years B&B's are much more commercialized and that the term is now used more to describe an accommodation with a B&B atmosphere . Today sometime I book a hotel online and when I arrive I see that they present themselves as B&B and vice versa. I don't want to fight over words, but the way they presents themselves on their websites (events,weddings, etc) is miles away from my last B&B in Scotland ran by an old lady who served me breakfast in a corner of her living room. After breakfast we talked for more then half hour about the weather and her cat ;-) I hope we can agree that we perceive B&B's differently but that in the end it doesn't matter that much!
The best bed and breakfast is the flight it has a toilet you can sleep in the seats if you're tired enough and you can buy Breakfast and lunch things so bed and breakfast and lunch bbl. for me, its 5 stars of 5. the bed and breakfast and lunch can be in more than three countries and you can see the sky without lag. but if you feel like home in the bed and breakfast and lunch then I feel sorry for you. its the most visited bed and breakfast.
since I start investing with this company I have been living a better life. Geting my profit for my investment today is exciting. Thanks to AUTOMATE company..
I remember him saying she isnt a fan of being in videos. She did great !!!
She is getting more comfortable at it that is for sure.
Professor Wolters and this beautiful lady is easy on the eye too! Which helps :) ha

Beautifully presented Jocelyn! Loved seeing the Vrooman Mansion. What a slice of history.
I first read "5 Reasons why you should stay in bed"
I'd watch that though ^^
those are easy enough ;)
Lol, I’d advocate for 5 reasons why you should stay in a hammock :))
I could write a book on that one. lol
I've been in bed for 10 years, I'm paralysed and had to blow through a tube to type this comment.

Great video from Jocelyn. I really agree with the idea of exploring your local area as well as travelling further afield.
Its a nice way to connect to your own community
Jocelyn, you always look beautiful and your dress is gorgeous. We always try to stay in B&Bs when we can. We love the personalized attention and care.
I drove by the Vrooman mansion this morning and was certainly surprised to then see it featured on your post just hours later. Thanks for featuring this grand, historic home in Bloomington! So wonderful that it is not only being cared for but also shared with appreciative guests.
It was a great stay
Love staying at B&B’s!! The personalized attention is wonderful!!
Wonderful to remind us of this seemingly forgotten but oh so lovely option! 👏😃
We had forgotten as well :)
Nice to hear from Jocelyn! Great points that I never thought of. I'm a late sleeper so I've never done the B&B thing because I don't want to have breakfast on their time schedule.
We finally started staying in B & B's this year. I think we've stayed in 2-3 this year. They're great!
They just help us relax a bit more i feel
Jocelyn..you did a great job!!

Jocelyn, you are a natural in front of the camera! Hope to see more of your videos in the future!
Great seeing Jocelyn! I love her sincerity ☺️
Thank you
Love the dress you look great!
...True...B&B Are Best suited for Vacations..
Beautiful and quite elegant. And Vrooman Mansion looks pretty good as well.
Quirky I know but I like reading the last few pages of a B&B's guest book to see from where other visitors have traveled. 👍
We do the same thing. It's a fun thing to see where others come from
And yes Jocelyn is always more on the elegant and beauty side than the other presenter on this channel ;)
that looked stunning, exactly like a B&B should be. You are right about the personal service.
The service and the conversations really "make" the B&B experience for me.
@@woltersworld and the advice on whats good in the area as well.
I didn't like B&B's for a long time. I didn't want to socialize with the other guests first thing in the morning. But I guess I've mellowed and now I enjoy it.
Great video with lots of good reminders. Think I will plan more B&Bs on our next trip.
I really love your new short hair cut! You look beautiful, Jocelyn.
My late wife and I would often take romantic weekends at B&B's close to home. Less driving and more sight seeing (and more canoodoliing 😉).
:)
Sounds like good times 👍🏽
Yay!!! A Jocelyn video!!! I hope you guys keep this up
That's how I look at things too...if something stops me, I don't push it.
Every time I try to convince my husband that we should stay in a B&B, he responds with; "that's how you end up in someones deep freeze in the basement". We have missed out on some amazing experiences because he watches too many movies. Thank you for this wonderful video!
Your husband has some trust issues i see :)
Or he has watched one too many episodes of Criminal Minds :)
Great video! I live in Bloomington! Know the Vrooman Mansion. Wow! Wish I knew you were "stuck" here I could've shown you the Do's and Don'ts of Bloomington, IL!! Ha ha
Thanks Tom! It was a last minute stay :)

LOVE Jocelyn!
This is a gem for sure!
Nice video. Well presented

I'm glad we can help and I used to have trains like the one you take these days. :(
@@ProfessorWolters no worries. I take the train to save money for travel to see Japan next year. It's worth it.
You 2 Guys do A Great Job..👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏼🤗
Thanks Carlos!
Jocelyn's haircut looks so classy and cute at the same time
Wow. You make that place look beautiful!

Great video!:)
Yey! a Jocelyn video :-)

Are B&B’s less expensive than hotels??

I lived in BloNo for 12 years and had no idea this even existed!
Neither did we. I searched for a place to stay and this one came up and i thought, that looks cool and it really was
Mrs Wolter is beautiful
Really beautiful Mansion! Reminds me of Little Women. One question that I've always wondered was, where does the name Wolter's World come from?
Our family name is Wolters :)
