Fodor's Expert Review Charlotte's Way

The sweet aroma of turf smoke percolates in the living room of this historic B&B, where the delightful Nicola Daly welcomes guests to her "home from home," an 18th-century house that has a connection to Charlotte Brontë, whose husband lived here after her death. Today the B&B attracts much interest from the literary fraternity and books are sprinkled around the house. Guests are encouraged to choose from a range of jams made from the orchard featuring apple, pear, and plum along with homemade bread. Victorian and Edwardian rooms are furnished with antiques, soft colorings, velvet curtains, and Axminster carpets.

Ask for the attic room, which comes with a Jacuzzi.
