Other than where prohibited by law... do you leave the guests alone in the building? For how long? An hour tops? Long enough for dinner out? Dinner & a movie? Overnight?
Just curious because we have friends who own a B&B who are gone all day to work. They leave at 9 AM and come back around dinner time. This seems very casual to me and I always wonder when they get stuff done! How can the kitchen even be cleaned from breakfast! When do they prep rooms? It's all a mystery.
I know we all have to go out and shop and attend to life. I'm lucky there are 2 of us here so someone is always around if a guest needs something. We'd adapt if only one of us were here. But how do you feel about doing that?
(And, we've been left alone on several occasions while at a B&B where guests were checking themselves in for 2 days while the innkeepers were away. It felt odd to me.)
