Vegan Bed and Breakfasts
While leafing through the excellent debut issue of Herbivore Magazine and saw an ad for a vegan bed and breakfast that was—gasp!—in central Virginia (about three hours from where I live) called The White Pig. Everything looks excellent, from the accomodations to the web site down to the food.
Coincidentally, today the Washington Post featured The Sweet Thyme Inn, a vegan B&B in West Virginia.
Most bed and breakfasts are more than happy to accomodate vegetarians and vegans, but it’s pretty rare to come across ones that incorporate a vegan lifestyle into the bed and breakfast culture.
there’s also the sweet onion inn in vermont–we are trying it out over july 4th weekend! i’m excited. :)
i’m also jealous that you got herbivore already… mine hasn’t shown up yet!
Where can we find a veg*an B&B in the US with a friendly pet policy as well? I contacted The White Pigs and it was a No-No. We have a companion animal that needs to go with us. Any suggestions? Thanks!
As of 10/1/05 we (The White Pig) has a pet freindly room.
We stayed at the White Pig last summer and it was a wonderful experience – I highly recommend it!
My husband & I stayed at the White Pig also and had a terrible experience. The food was wonderful, but the host was very cold and unfriendly. However, we LOVED the Sweet Onion Inn and we’re looking forward to trying the Sweet Thyme inn soon!
I own a vegan B&B in Montreal, Canada, and look forward to welcoming vegan guests!

My wife, Anneen and I offer a new ‘resh concept’ B&B Please check out our website and you will see that our Vegan B&B is a one of a kind!

We loved the Sweet Onion Inn – great food and great people. I was really sad to see that the White Pig and Chez Phillippe do not welcome children. As a vegan couple with a son, it would be nice to raise our child in an environment that celebrates vegan kids; instead these places won’t even welcome him.
Thanks to the Sweet Onion Inn for great food, great hospitality, and for welcoming our son!
My partner and I are rennovating our house to accomodate a vegan bed and breakfast. We are located in Indianapolis. So anyone travelling through the midwest on I-65 or I-70 can have a great vegan owned and ran bed and breakfast. I can see that there is a need for it, both by our own travelling needs and by the responses here. I am very excited about it.
Until we get a website together, anyone interested can contact me at marea.kinney@gmail.com
For anyone who might be interested, we also own a piercing studio and custom wood jewelry company that are animal and earth friendly as well.
I’m opening a totally vegan B&B on May 1st. We’re located just 5 miles north west of Watkins Glen, NY and are less than 15 minutes from Farm Sanctuary (where I used to work)
Great vegan breakfasts during the week and brunch on the weekends.

My wife Sadie and I have just opened an exclusively vegetarian bed and breakfast in Bideford, North Devon, that’s England. We’re not vegan ourselves but we do cater for them. We have a good range of different full breakfasts on offer, but I doubt we’d be able to give a vegan something different everyday for a week – that would be a real challenge. Outside of the egg-free veggie fry-up, tofu scramble, toast and cereals what other options are there?
Please check out our website http://www.bidefordvegetarian.co.uk we lived in Tucson for a year so we’re well used to the American appetite. We’d be very glad to host you as the exchange rate is now in your favour.
