Fodor's Expert Review Capt. Farris House

A short hop off congested Route 28 sits this imposing 1845 Greek Revival home where thoughtful amenities abound, from the soft bathrobes, beach supplies, and fresh flowers in each room to a selection of complimentary cordials. The large rooms and suites have either antique or canopied beds, plush comforters, fancy drapes, and deep tile baths. Some have fireplaces and sundecks. Breakfast is served in the formal dining room or in the greenhouse-style interior courtyard; baked goods and coffee are available for afternoon tea and after-hours.
