Fodor's Expert Review Whalewalk Inn & Spa

Set amid 3 landscaped acres, this 1830 whaling master's home has wide-plank pine floors, fireplaces, and 19th-century country antiques that provide historical appeal. Accommodations in six buildings range from standard rooms in the main inn with four-poster queen- or king-size beds to deluxe rooms in the carriage house with fireplaces, hot tubs, and private patios to suites in the converted barn and guesthouse with fully equipped kitchens; a secluded saltbox cottage is perfect if you're craving privacy.
