What is the difference between B&B and Rental?
When you stay at a Bed and Breakfast you usually rent a room or section of a house. It is common that your host stay in close proximity to your area and that you share certain things connected to the accommodation (for example: WC, bath, kitchen, entrance).

When you stay at a Rental you (most likely) will have the whole place to yourself. You are still staying in someone else´s home and should pay attention to keeping the place in the same condition as it were when you arrived. Read our ToC for more on what you as a guest need to take into consideration, including obligations, when deciding between a B&B and a Rental.

Coffee or Tea, bread, cheese, marmalade and orange juice. If you have an allergy and need to change any item, please advise your host before arrival.
