Fodor's Expert Review Mayflower Inn & Spa

Though the most expensive suites at this inn run upwards of $1,000 per night, the elegant Mayflower is often booked months in advance. Running streams, rambling stone walls, and rare-specimen trees fill the country manor–style inn's 28 manicured acres. Guest rooms feature antiques, 18th- and 19th-century art, and four-poster canopy beds; their colossal baths have mahogany wainscoting, marble trim, and brass fittings. The 20,000-square-foot spa has earned a reputation as one of New England's finest such facilities—treatments like antioxidant-rich facials and mud wraps are highly popular.
