B&Bs often have a special ambiance that is hard to come by at a hotel.

In my opinion, a Bed & Breakfast is more ideally suited to couples wanting a quiet, romantic getaway without the kids.

I found that there aren’t near as many Bed & Breakfasts around as there are hotels, so it is a little harder to find a good B&B that offers good value.

However, they are out there…

Here are my favorite Bed and Breakfasts in Dallas… 

The Corinthian

A fabulous Dallas BedAndBreakfast is the The Corinthian. I think it’s location is great because it is near downtown Dallas, and also near major highways to get to Dallas’ attractions fairly quickly.

The Corinthian is a beautifully restored house from the early 1900s. Its five suites are all very tastefully decorated. It also offers “modern” things like wireless internet access.

When you enter, you will notice why this is different from a hotel. The Inn keeper is very friendly and will likely show you around the house, and also offer you something to eat. Maybe some banana bread?

The breakfast they serve is also very good. It’s not your run-of-the-mill continental breakfast served at many hotels!

The Corinthian will truly give you a special experience!

The Guesthouse on Allen Street

Not too far from the Corinthian is The Guesthouse on Allen Street, another good Dallas BedAndBreakfast.

It is a single-suite Bed & Breakfast located in the historic Uptown State Thomas area of Dallas. The spacious suite overlooks a rose garden. It also offers wireless internet access.

Every evening The Guesthouse offers wine and hors d’oeuvres.

There are also several good restaurants nearby.

Daisy Polk Inn

Another excellent Dallas BedAndBreakfast is the Daisy Polk Inn.

If you like to place an emphasis on the “breakfast” part of “bed and breakfast”, you will enjoy the Daisy Polk Inn… their breakfasts are superb!

The Daisy Polk Inn has a very interesting story that begins back in the early 1900s, and the house was declared a historic landmark some years ago. It has six comfortable and stylishly-decorated rooms.

The owners are very friendly and will make you feel right at home.

If these Dallas Bed & Breakfasts are not what you were looking for or have no available rooms, here is a complete listing of Dallas Bed & Breakfasts and Inns.

There are more than twenty bed and breakfasts in Austin and several of them provide a great stay.

Bed and Breakfasts are often more expensive than hotels, but in return, most of them offer something special that you are unlikely to get at hotels.

Nevertheless, to keep it affordable, I have picked some reasonably-priced bed and breakfasts that are also highly-rated.

Here are four of my favorite Austin Bed and Breakfasts… 

Brava House Bed And Breakfast

The Brava House Bed And Breakfast is rated by many as Austin’s #1 bed and breakfast. It is a unique Victorian residence with two guest rooms and four suites. It’s location in the heart of Austin means that you are walking distance away (or very close) from downtown Austin’s main attractions.

The owners, Robin and Mary, are wonderful hosts who take good care of their guests and are also very knowledgeable about Austin. This makes them a great resource if you haven’t been to Austin before.

The Brava House is great for a romantic getaway or honeymoon!

1110 Carriage House Inn

The 1110 Carriage House Inn is a two-storey colonial home that has been beautifully restored, and is another highly-rated bed and breakfast in Austin. It is also close to all the attractions of downtown Austin.

The rooms are just beautiful, with all the amenities you will need. The grounds are very relaxing, with a some outdoor swings, a pond with a waterfall, a gazebo, and a nice deck.

The breakfast at the 1110 Carriage House Inn is particularly good, with a nice variety that changes regularly. They also cater to special dietary needs.

The 1110 Carriage House Inn would make for a fantastic romantic getaway!

Carrington’s Bluff Bed and Breakfast

If you’re looking for a bed and breakfast that costs under $100 per night, the Carrington’s Bluff Bed and Breakfast is the way to go! Don’t be fooled into thinking that it is therefore not up to par though.

Carrington’s Bluff is located near downtown Austin and its attractions. There are 8 guest rooms, each being slightly different. Phoebe, the owner, is a great host that takes good care of her guests. She is quite knowledgeable about the area as well.

Carrington’s Bluff is also great for a romantic getaway or family gatherings.

Woodburn House Bed and Breakfast

The Woodburn House Bed and Breakfast is another great bed and breakfast in Austin. It is an elegant three-story home in Hyde Park, about 2 miles north of downtown Austin.

The Woodburn House has 6 beautiful guest rooms, each with an attached private bath, and original woodwork dating from the period when the house was built.

The owners, Noel and Kristen, take pride in providing a great service. They are very knowledgeable about the area. They also offer a very good breakfast!

The Woodburn is another great choice for a romantic getaway or honeymoon.

These are my favorite Austin bed and breakfasts and I think you will have a good stay at any of them. Keep in mind that bed and breakfasts are usually better suited to couples without kids.

These are of course not the only good ones to choose from. If you would prefer to look at a few other choices before making a decision, take a look at these other bed and breakfasts in Austin.
