PRICE:
Frommer's Exceptional

Gloria Poupard-Walbridge has taken this exquisite 1847 British Regency-style mansion and turned it into a stunning B&B. You'll gasp at the splendor when you walk through the door. Cotter House is a heritage building overflowing with antiques, fine international art, dramatic window treatments, and luxurious marble bathrooms -- a lavish haven for the discerning traveler. The two-room suite is my pick, but you can take the whole house if you like, or have exclusive use of the 1892 ballroom for formal gatherings, cocktail parties, or weddings. And Gloria's cooking will knock your socks off. Her fabulous French breakfasts are the pièce de résistance.
