Ask for a room with a water view—if you're lucky you'll get the Beatrice, which has a tub with a view of Easton Bay. Three of the rooms have separate entrances, and there's a three-room cottage on the grounds.
Travel + Leisure "The main house and its adjoining cottage are a living museum, filled with great antiques and romantic canvases painted in the early 20th century by Turner." Full review
Jetsetter "Gilded Age ambiance with the kind of thoughtful comforts you imagine Victorian servants would provide, just a block from the Cliff Walk." Full review
Frommer's "All rooms have fireplaces and antiques and are decorated very elegantly in opulent turn-of-the century fashion. Bathrooms are particularly well-appointed...service is exceptional. " Full review
