Cotter House Review

Gloria Poupard-Walbridge has taken this exquisite 1847 British Regency-style mansion and turned it into a stunning B&B. You'll gasp at the splendor when you walk through the door. Cotter House is a heritage building overflowing with antiques, fine international art, dramatic window treatments, and luxurious marble bathrooms -- a lavish haven for the discerning traveler. The two-room suite is my pick, but you can take the whole house if you like, or have exclusive use of the 1892 ballroom for formal gatherings, cocktail parties, or weddings. The property has a Qualmark Enviro-Silver rating and a carbon offset policy. And Gloria's cooking will knock your socks off. Her fabulous French breakfasts are the pièce de résistance.

Facilities:
Bar; babysitting; free bikes; concierge; nearby golf course; exercise pavilion; heated outdoor pool

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
