U.S. News said the top bed-and-breakfasts tended to offer personalized touches, such as homemade breakfasts and customized tours. They also offered comfortable rooms, excellent service, and often have unique amenities such as libraries with borroable books, a cozy fireplace, and even afternoon tea or evening wine.
“B&Bs typically offer a unique atmosphere, a complimentary breakfast and a cultural experience authentic to their given location,” said Zach Watson, senior travel editor at U.S. News. “The 2024 Best Bed & Breakfasts rankings offer travelers options for staying at a top-rated property, with all the charm and personal touches of an intimate stay.”
Bed-and-breakfast rankings were based on star ratings and both expert and guest sentiment gathered via awards from distinguished travel publications and TripAdvisor user scores.
