The B&B Arrival Ode
Many of you will know this well
A B&B is not a hotel.
For those who are new, a little ode
On B&Bs and the arrival time code.
A B&B is a private home; we have no staff
To change the beds and clean the bath.
We scrub; we dust and vacuum the floors;
And, after that, have other chores
like shopping, cooking and laying the table.
It takes its toll, though we’re (quite) fit and able.
The afternoon is our private space
to relax, or snooze and enjoy our place.
We therefore ask you to respect
Our need for time to resurrect
And not arrive until later on
When the battle with grime has been fought and won.
When we’ve had time to recover and rest
And are ready to give you of our best.
Smokers:
We thank you in advance for not smoking in the house, nor in the outside eatery.
Meal Times:
Breakfast
Breakfast is from 8.30 am, however, if you would prefer an earlier breakfast, we can arrange this.
Dinner
The meal is available from 7:30 pm.
Please let us know in advance if you have any dietary requirements.
Dogs:
Dogs are not allowed in the house but well-trained dogs are still welcome - provided they sleep in your car. A grassy lane leads to the village, perfect for exercising dogs and people after a long drive. If you do bring your dog, please keep it under control, particularly when small children are around – and clear up any dog mess.
