What Our Guests Have to Say:

In our first (but not last) trip to New England, we stayed in B&B's the entire way from Main to DC. Both my wife and I thought yours was the nicest. The antique furniture, decorations, amenities, and food were the best. I only wish we could have stayed longer in your Inn.

R&L
 

Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.  The Inn is so lovely and the breakfast, beyond our expectations.  We appreciate the special accommodations for the Vegetarians. You really went out of your way for us. It was truly a pleasure to stay here and looking forward to a return trip.  K&M
 
  

Great place to stay.  Room was great.  Breakfast was fantastic.   Thanks for the Beach pass: the town's best kept secrets. 

D&J

Thank you so much for the wonderful accommodations.  I especially enjoyed the garden.  The delicious breakfast was a close second though!  Thanks for such a great time!
M&N
 

Our stay was so pleasant.  You provided a wonderful oasis from the busyness of our attending a wedding, rehearsal dinner, brunch & other varied activities.  Our breakfasts were delicious.  We feel well cared for.  Thank you
K&T

 

 

 

Glad Tidings

Spring 2011, Vol.4, No.1

Springtime along the Shoreline  

 Magnolia Snow

                                             

The first flowers of Spring are blooming everywhere: Yellows, Whites, Blues, Reds, Pinks and more. Daffodils, Tulips, Crocus, Grape Hyacinths, Forsythia, Magnolias! 

 

Our Weeping Cherry trees are about to burst into bloom.  Birds are singing their hearts out.  The beach roads are busy with people walking, jogging, strolling. Babies in strollers, pets on a leash, people walking and talking and enjoying.

 

The icy snow has gone and been replaced by what I call Spring Snow!

B & B's Kick Gas!

 

Bed and Breakfast Inns across North America are doing their part to help take the sting of rising gas prices.

 

Gas prices are rising and innkeepers are coming to the rescue with a "kick gas" promotion. To help relieve pain at the pump for travelers, inns and B&Bs throughout the U.S. and Canada are going the extra mile offering gas saving of all kinds.

We're on board too for the Kick Gas! promotion, offering incentives for midweek travel, car pooling your travel, or walking and bicycle riding in place of driving while you're here.

Clam Chowder ... What's your favorite? 

Summer Kayaks

 

     Clam chowder ... mmmmm ... makes me think of seashore, blue skies, sunshine ... or warmth, comfort, dinner by the fireside ... So many pleasures associated with this simple and simply delicious fare.

 

     I set out to sample the best of the best on the shoreline and came upon some interesting discoveries in the land of clam chowder.  Who knew?!
