Frommer's Recommended

A lovely country inn along the Old King's Highway, this house is a much-modified 1699 Colonial mansion that retains many of its original features, including a hearth with beehive oven, built-in corner cupboards in the wainscoted dining room, and wide-board floors, many of them brightened with Nantucket-style splatter paint. The rooms, all but one of which boast a working fireplace, are spacious and inviting: true retreats. A deluxe room in its own wing has a separate entrance, whirlpool bath, glass-enclosed shower, canopy bed, and fireplace. All bathrooms are supplied with luxury towels of 100% Egyptian cotton. The 2-acre property itself is shielded from the road by an enormous privet hedge, and fragrant boxwood camouflages a Har-Tru tennis court. (You'll find loaner bikes beside it, ready to roll.) Romantics can sequester themselves in the flower-fringed gazebo. Breakfast on the brick patio is worth waking up for.
