Fodor's Expert Review Cape Arundel Inn and Resort

This shingle-style, 19th-century mansion, originally one of the area's many summer "cottages," commands a magnificent ocean view that takes in the Bush estate at Walker's Point; its location is just far enough from the bustle of town to truly feel like you've gotten away from it all. Spacious, tastefully decorated guest rooms—filled with special touches, such as local artwork and comfy throws—have cozy fireplaces and relaxing sitting areas that overlook the garden and ocean. The Club House, just a stone's throw from the main inn, offers a resortlike vibe with a lap pool, lawn and club games, and cozy nook areas where you can unwind with a cocktail or a cup of tea.
