Sometimes it takes a move or a remodeling job to discover your own backyard. Although I'm a native Bostonian, it took my native New York wife to lead me to discover there is indeed life beyond Route 495. The rooms are large and accommodatingly comfortable.
Many rooms overlook a delightful garden courtyard.
English antiques are everywhere. The service and dining is superb. Many on the staff are from Scotland and Germany, and innkeeper Sayed Saleh, an impeccable Egyptian, has just added an unbelievable wine cellar. The inn scene in Massachusetts is one of the commonwealth's delights we've come to appreciate only recently. With our getaway Cape home being remodeled, we've been forced to find other places to stay to avoid the mess at our place.
