These once-dilapidated mill-workers' houses dating from the 1890s were refurbished to become one of New England's quirkiest hotels. They now strike a perfect balance between high-tech and historic—rooms have a mix of retro 1940s and '50s lamps and bungalow-style furnishings along with such contemporary touches as stunning bathrooms with slate floors, hot tubs, and mirrors fashioned out of old window frames. Some two-room suites have loft sleeping areas reached by spiral staircases. Suites have pull-out sofas and can sleep up to six. Pros: outdoor heated pool and hot tub (hot tub is open all year), large guest rooms, walk to town. Cons: small breakfast room.
