Do you offer food and drink to your guests?

Do you offer food and drink to your guests_.jpg

 

Hello hosts 👋
 
I’m really excited to hear about the lovely things you do to make your guests feel right at home. So, I’m super curious, do you offer any delicious food and drink to your guests? 
 
Whether it's a charming welcome basket filled with local treats, a delightful breakfast spread, or a thoughtfully curated selection of beverages, your special touches can make such a difference in their experience. I once stayed in a yurt in Derbyshire that was on a farm, and we were provided with a a very tasty bottled cows milk to go with my morning coffee. Delicious! 
 
Please share your creative ideas, heartwarming stories, or any unique offerings you provide below! I can’t wait to hear all about it!

I always leave fresh bread, milk, butter and tea/coffee/sugar so they can have tea & toast when they arrive and have something for breakfast. I also leave local Irish porridge, free range eggs, cereals. Its nice to leave treats - always biscuits, and sometimes nice cakes and sweets, and seasonal treats for national holidays.

We provide tea, coffee, sugar,  but no creamer as our regulations in our county also limit our ability to provide food.

Unfortunately with Airbnb smart pricing and the current financial market it is hard to even make a profit at all and certainly there is no room financially for providing extras other than coffee and tea

Hi, unfortunately we do not offer any food or drinks due to some legislations around food. If we did, we would need to obtain a licence for that which comes with inspections from the council. However, we do have a coffee machine for guests which is handy whenever guests need one.

Hello @Rebecca! I'm not a host but as a renter I'm always surprised when I find a bottle of wine left by the hosts with a nice note hoping my stay is good!  That is the host I'm renting from again! And it's always a good label not a cheapie! My two cents worth is if they go through the trouble of supplying treats, wine or some other yummy item it's an added plus for me the potential renter.

I have a studio 1BR that caters to solo travelers and couples in the Sierra Nevada Mountain foothills in California, USA. I provide:
-- A snack bowl of individually wrapped nuts/fruit/granola & chocolates.

-- Fresh eggs from chickens guests can visit on the property.

-- A few cans of sparkling water

-- A couple of protein bars

-- Microwave popcorn

-- Local coffee and tea w/ local honey

-- A hand-picked small flower bouquet for the dining table from the property

 

There's a small herb garden for guest access as well (thyme, mint, rosemary). When we have produce from our garden, I will give  multi-night guests something seasonal like greens, strawberries, tomatoes; etc. There's a full kitchen, but most people tend to dine out at local restaurants in the nearby historic towns.

Reviews regularly mention the "extra amenities" and "personal touches".

Hello Rebecca,

 

Not really. I provide snacks and candy. I have a cabinet filled with seasonings, coffee, and tea.
