There’s something so charming about a quintessentially English hotel; from a quaint cottage all the way through to a luxe resort housed in a stately former home. The level of service that comes with somewhere like this is something to be rivalled so if you like your coffee brought to your door and attentive staff,…
Earlier this week, we gave you a special peek into the quiet, tucked-away, family-run hotels that help to characterize some of Europe’s small towns, and even the streets of its bustling cities as well. But while these sweet hidden gems may be even harder to discover on this side of the pond, they do exist…
Sometimes it feels like the family-run inns of yesteryear are all but extinct now; larger brands run the hospitality show these days, and even some historic bed-and-breakfasts that have maintained their quaint vibe are nonetheless owned by hotel chains now, meaning no more pleasant interactions with husband-and-wife duos or generations of owners. But “all but…
Magnolia-lined cobblestone streets, stately plantation-style homes, rocking chairs set up on screened-in porches — this is how many picture the South. And while not all areas below the Mason-Dixon line still have this storybook feel — in fact, numerous Southern destinations we love (Atlanta and Dallas, for example) are some of the country’s most booming…
Often when travelers think of bed-and-breakfasts, images of historic Southern mansions with wide front porches come to mind. Call to mind the Caribbean, on the other hand, and we often imagine massive mega-resorts with lounge chairs packed on the sand side-by-side, head-to-foot. But fortunately some quaint bed-and-breakfasts can be found nestled among the beaches of…
Home to popular sites like the Empire State Building, Central Park, and Times Square, New York City is a must-visit for people all over the world. Already the most populous city in the United States, the Big Apple saw a record 56.4 million visitors in 2014. To accommodate all those tourists, the city is filled…
When we think of fairytale retreats, we think of cozy cottages and dramatic castles. On the cottage front, we’re picturing spots with gingerbread architecture, charming historic style, or homey interiors with roaring fireplaces (though we imagine Hansel and Gretel wouldn’t be too pleased about the latter offering). And when it comes to castles, we’re dreaming…
This post originally appeared on Yahoo! Travel. We’ve all spent some time California dreamin’ at one point or another — and who can blame us? The state has just about everything, including gorgeous natural scenery, sunshine, and miles upon miles of beautiful coastline. We especially love the idea of cozying up in one of the…
Don’t get us wrong, we love a good mega-resort just as much as the next person. But sometimes the large crowds, all-you-can-eat buffets, and 24-hour casinos make for an overwhelming stay. When we seek quieter, more intimate getaways, we head to these cottages, inns, and bed-and-breakfasts for some R&R. Hidden Pond, Maine
Staying in a New England inn during foliage season is the quintessential fall vacation. If you’re conjuring up images of historic mansions, elegant antiques, thick oriental rugs, and cozy fireplaces for those crisp fall nights – well, you’re right on the money. These ten inns all have charm to spare. Ale House Inn, New Hampshire
