Circa 1804. This Federal-style home was given as a wedding gift from a father to his daughter and new son-in-law. It was constructed the same year Thomas Jefferson was re-elected to the presidency. Each guest room is different. Several offer two-person whirlpools, eight have a fireplace. Canopy, four-poster and sleigh beds are among the furnishings. In the afternoons, tea is served in the garden room. The breakfasts feature gourmet fare and are served by candlelight. The inn is located in a local historic district, just minutes from shops and restaurants.

This inn is exactly what you imagine when you think of the perfect New England Inn. Breakfast was delicious--probably the best I've ever had! The terrace room was lovely, even more beautiful than expected. The inn is in a perfect location, within walking distance of Dock Square.
