Limited service lodgings, usually smaller establishments that emphasize a more personal, homelike relationship between operators and guests. Rooms may not include some modern amenities such as television and telephones, and may have a shared bathroom. Usually owner-operated, with a common room or parlor, separate from the innkeeper's living quarters, where guests and operators can interact during evening and breakfast hours. Some B&Bs offer cottages or guesthouses in addition to or instead of traditional "in house" accommodations.
