The major difference between a B&B and a full-service inn is the opportunity to enjoy dinner at your place of lodging. In most cases, full-service inns are also larger, with more rooms than the average B&B.

Almost all of our full-service inns also offer you historic surroundings and rooms that have been individually decorated with antiques and period reproductions.

Smaller inns usually have more intimate dining rooms and may serve dinner only to their house guests; some require advance reservations. You may also find a limited menu with only two or three entree choices, or there may be a fixed-price menu. Sometimes dinner is served only at a specified hour. The larger inns are more like hotels with full restaurants, extensive menus, and regular dining hours for two or more meals per day.
