Fodor's Expert Review Hob Knob

This 19th-century Gothic Revival boutique hotel blends the amenities and service of a luxury property with the ambience and charm of a small B&B with art and antiques that help capture the island's rural, seaside charm. Rooms, many of which overlook the spectacular gardens, are gracious and quite large by island standards; those on the upper floors have dormer windows. The front porch, filled with flowers and rocking chairs, is a perfect spot for reading or relaxing.
