Martin Hill Inn Bed & Breakfast

This B&B in a residential neighborhood is just a short walk from downtown. The inn consists of two period buildings: a main house (built around 1815) and a second guesthouse built 35 years later. All rooms have queen-size beds, writing tables, and sofas or sitting areas, and are variously appointed with distinguished wallpapers, porcelains, antiques, love seats, four-poster or brass beds, and the like. The relaxing, expansive Greenhouse Room is basically a suite with its own sitting room and wicked-furnished sun porch. More good stuff: a stone path from the inn leads to a small, beautiful water garden, and the included full breakfast is a highlight. It might consist of johnnycakes (a delicious New England specialty of cornmeal pancakes), "goldenrod" eggs, quiche, nutty waffles, or cooked fruit. When checking out, remember there's an automatic $3 charge for housekeepers' tips.
