From the moment you're buzzed into this well-secured great-value inn, you'll know you're not in a generic bed-and-breakfast. If the nearly 50 teddy bears gracing the lobby don't cure homesickness, then the homemade cookies, tea and coffee will. The romantically homey rooms are warm and cozy; the perfect place to snuggle up and with a good book. They're also quite big, with hardwood entryways, rich dark-wood furniture, working fireplaces and an assortment of books tucked in nooks. The decor is English elegance at its best with floral prints throughout. The luxury king suites feature perks like chocolates, champagne and a VCR and CD player. Each morning, a generous breakfast buffet is served in a common room just off a tiny garden. Afternoon tea, consisting of hors d'oeuvres, sherry, wine and home-baked pastries, can be enjoyed in front of the fireplace while you browse through the books in the library.
