Because it's in an attractive residential neighborhood of striking Victorian homes, staying in this bright and clean, five-room B&B will make you appreciate Manchester more. Every room in the historic sage-green 1885 house, run by Darlene and Eric Johnston, is painted a different warm color, and you can be safe knowing that other details are equally well thought-out. There are good linens, and there's decantered brandy in the sitting room, which has the house's original stained glass. In the summer, a wraparound porch is a nice place to sit on benches and enjoy a cooked-to-order breakfast, served on a flexible schedule. Pros: spotless newly decorated rooms, residential location appeal. Cons: not a full-service hotel.
