Book Description

December 15, 1998 Discerning Traveler's
A decadent meal by the flicker of candlelight, a private terrace awash in sea breezes, the radiant warmth of a wood-burning stove...the magical ingredients of a perfect romantic escape.

From The Inn at Canoe Point in Maine to Copper Beech in Connecticut, the authors have selected New England's most idyllic hideaways, visiting each one personally to ensure no detail is left to chance. The fifty-two inns, hotels, and bed-and-breakfasts included here each have their own distinct personality, ranging from a rustic coveside home to a luxurious country manor. Each is described fully, with an emphasis on intimate rooms, working fireplaces, clawfoot bathtubs, first-rate dining rooms, and other special touches so you can plan your ideal getaway.

Includes enchanting lodgings in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The six New England states have long been a traveler's mecca. During the "Gilded Age," the rich and famous came to stay for a few weeks in their opulent "cottages,' while numerous artists' colonies flourished. With this book as a guide, the vacationer of the 1990s will be able to find the best that New England has to offer in the way of lodging, dining, shopping, sightseeing, and performing arts. The writers obviously know and love the territory and are able to bring it to life for the reader. Especially useful are sample daily itineraries and cost guidelines at three budget levels. From Maine to Connecticut, each chapter includes a recommended reading list, plus the bonus of a regional recipe. A welcome addition to the travel section.

This review is from: The Discerning Traveler's Guide to Romantic Hideaways of New England (Paperback)
In preparation for a special trip to New England, I reviewed all the New England guides I could find. This was the best. We stayed at five locations mentioned, and had a great experience at each. The description provided was on target. I would trust the simple inclusion by the authors of any property as an indication that it is a good bet for an excellent experience. I also found this to be the most up-to-date of the reviews.
