Our 10 year wedding anniversary is coming up in February. We have family that is going to stay with our kids for the weekend so we can get away. There is a small historic town that looks really cute that's about 2 hours away and I found a really cute bed and breakfast. We would have our own bathroom in our room and they serve breakfast and everything. It has great reviews and looks super cute and is close to down town. So, it all sounds great! But, I have never been to a bed and breakfast and I don't know how thin the walls are (if you know what I mean, lol! hey, it's our anniversary, we won't be watching movies). So, at this place, there is 1 bedroom down stairs and 2 upstairs. I don't want to be near anyone who might hear us or have an akward feeling. Have you been to a bed and breakfast and was it a little weird being so close to someone elses room? Would it be better for us to just get a hotel instead? I think it would be a lot of fun but I'm just worried about that. Thanks!
lol! Thanks for the laugh! My 6 year old is asking me what's so funny, lol! no, we have no weird noises or fetishes, lol! I'm just a very shy and modest person, that's all. Ok, we will go and have fun. thanks!
I've been to hotels where the walls were like tissue! LOL
Yes, we've stayed at B&B's and the proprietors are usually very concerned with the comfort and privacy of their guests. Have fun!
You are adults. The other guests are adults (B&Bs are not a place for children IMO). A little wild monkey love is expected there. Hubby and I love going to B&Bs but haven't been in a while. Go and have a fabulous time. You'll wonder why you didn't go sooner! And you'll never want to stay in a regular hotel ever again.
Pretty much what can be heard outside your bedroom at home can be heard there.
Then again even at hotel rooms people outside can hear quite a bit so I wouldn't worry about it. :)
Go for it! Maybe you can teach 'em some new tricks! :)
Funny. :)
We've stayed in a B&B once and really loved it. We were in a little wing all by ourselves though, there were no other guests since it was like the weekend of before Christmas (12/21-12/23) and it was very special. We were new in town, didn't have any family or friends around, and really needed to get out of our 1 bedroom apartment for the holidays. It was perfect. But yeah, I'd suppose it's like any other house. They aren't going to do special sound proofing on the walls, more than likely. You can ask for privacy and they can try to help you out there, OR ask about their schedule to see if you can go last minute on a day or weekend when it's empty, but honestly I wouldn't really sweat it at all unless you're feeling like being just buck wild. In which case, your neighbors in the hotel will hear you there, too. Granted, you probably won't be eating breakfast near the people at the hotel......but maybe. (ha) NO FEAR. As long as you're not swinging from chandeliers I think you should be just fine. Do what makes you and your husband the most comfortable.
Hotel room walls are just as easy to hear through as those in a B&B. The only difference is that you don't have any idea who is tripping the light fantastic next door.
Ask the folks to give you the most private room, seeing that it is your wedding anniversary. They will understand. Go and enjoy yourself.

We went to a bed and breakfast for my husbands 40th bday, It was an old house. We couldnt hear anything between the rooms. We were on an end room over the kitchen. All we heard was the floor creak when somebody walked by our door to go up the stairs. Knock yourself out!
Most Bed and Breakfast that I have ever seen are in a house so think of how thick your bedroom walls are at home and that is most likely about what you are going to get at a Bed and Breakfast. If you are the only guests then it would probably be fine. If I knew that there were going to be people staying in the room next to me I would be a little more aware of the "noise" level.
Congrats on your anniversary and it sounds like a great trip. :o)
My honeymoon was in a bed and breakfast, it was lovely and a lot of fun. Yes, walls are usually quite thin, since they are typically older buildings. We were lucky, our room was on it's own floor and on a separate part of the home, so we had no worries. It wasn't weird, but the next morning at breakfast another group of people were there and asking us how we are enjoying our honeymoon and such. It could have been awkward, but we didn't stick around too long. The best thing to do, is go in and walk around to check it out before hand to see how close the rooms are, are the floor boards creaky... owners know what people are doing in their rooms, that is why they usually have honey room suites a little more secluded. Also, owners usually have discount tickets for anniversaries and such and can give you area details on good restaurants, things to do, carriage rides...
Ask for one of the bedrooms on the mainfloor...No one will below you will hear. :)
LOL!! Our 20th anniv was spent in an historic hotel in a cute little town on the Mississippi River. The wkend was a gift from my Sis & our parents.
The walls were thiiiiiiin! At times, my DH & I were laughing soooo hysterically that I know all the other occupants could hear us! The next morning, we hit the dining room early.....just so we could enjoy trying to guess which couple we heard ALL night long! It was a BLAST & we shared the antics with my family when we picked up our sons.
Thanks for bringing back ....truly wonderful memories! Seriously, we had a BLAST.....:) We now refer to it as "monkey sex".....
IDK I am guessing like homes, at least from our experiences. for us this type of situation kinds spruces up the night! LOL I am guessing not the same for you! Odds are you will never see these people again and hey maybe you'll get them to have a little more fun themselves!!
On our honeymoon, we were in a hotel in Wales where a couple had just gotten married that night and had a bit of fun. We had a good laugh about it, but honestly I didn't worry much about them, or myself.
When you have kids, you have to get creative, so just think of it the same way.
I have to say me and my husband wouldn't stay at one for this reason. We have to worry about kids and them walking in (of course we lock the door, but then we get the question, why was our door closed, cause we don't do that usually) or wonder if they can hear us. So, when we get time away, I will admit we get all crazy (maybe TMI for some). Hotels is the best sex we ever have, at least in a hotel there are usually hundreds of people so if they do hear you it's not like they know who it is. Where as in a B&B there's usually only a few couples and so you know who it is.
Plus in hotel, there are usually all kinds of good props to use, hahaha!!
I hate B&Bs for that reason! I've stayed in some lovely ones, but I never feel really private or independent. Not only for sexual purposes, but we like to stay out late seeing music and/or drinking wine when away, and you have to come sneaking back into the house quiet as a mouse like you were 16 again. It depends on the house as to how thin the walls are, but they ARE homes, and just like other houses -sounds can often be heard. Also, if you want to sleep in, you'll miss breakfast, but you'll probably be woken up anyway due to being able to hear the clattering and comings and goings of your neighbors. As pretty as many of them are, we almost always opt for inns, hotels, cabins and rental homes.
A hotel or a bed and breakfast is pretty much the same as far as a building goes.
We stayed in a lovely one up around Kansas City that was in an old church. We stayed in the room in the basement and it had a huge 2-3 person tub, 2 toilets, and a huge shower. The weight room was next to us, then the hot tub was outside that room. There weren't any other people on our floor.
I enjoyed having such a nice breakfast provided the next morning too. We had so much food.
My husband and I have stayed in B&Bs dozens of times. We have NEVER over heard anything from anyone and I doubt anyone heard anything from us. I would not be "letting loose" in the verbal department in a hotel or a B&B - that might be reserved for when we're home alone without DD. Staying in a B&B isn't for everyone but we find it enjoyable. Some don't have TVs which doesn't bother us, but others might find annoying. Happy Anniversary!
We've been a variety of bed and breakfasts for our anniversary/Valentine's Day. We've never been able to hear someone and, as far as I know, haven't been heard. The ones we have been to have been designed with couples in mind so I'm sure they take things like bed placement in the room into consideration. I've always enjoyed the experience and find it much nicer than a hotel. Enjoy!
