The Richards

Fodor's Review:

Imposing and magnificent, this 8,500-square-foot, English-style stone mansion anchoring a 200-acre estate has a Gothic mystique that is quite different from the spirit of the typical summerhouse. French windows in the wood-paneled common rooms downstairs open up to views of a lush landscape, and a fishpond is the centerpiece of the gardens. A fire crackles in the library fireplace on chilly afternoons. Some rooms have 19th-century English antiques, floral-upholstered furniture, and fireplaces, and in each a decanter of sherry awaits guests. Pros: a singularly remarkable architectural example, breakfast is first-rate, reasonable rates. Cons: a bit of a walk from the beach, no TV in rooms.
