Fodor's Expert Review
The Coonamessett Inn, currently in this midst of a makeover by the boutique Lark Hotel group (finishing in 2018), is comprised of five buildings of 29 one- and two-bedroom suites that ring a landscaped lawn that leads to a scenic wooded pond. It hosts more than 150 wedding receptions a year, thanks to its scenic setting.
