New England Inns Top 10 -- Travel+Leisure Magazine Names Two DINE Inns New England's Top 10

"Ten special inns whose warm hospitality is guaranteed to take the season's chill out of the air, " is how Travel+Leisure described its early Spring search for the 10 coziest inns in New England. The travel magazine named both Newport RI's luxury bed and breakfast Cliffside Inn and New Hampshire's small luxury hotel Manor On Golden Pond to its Top 10 Inns of New England list.

"Roosted above the Atlantic Ocean overlooking Newport's Cliff Walk, this Victorian manor house and former home of painter Beatrice Turner channels the sort of joie de vivre stylings one might expect in an eccentric artist residence," writes Adrien Glover about Cliffside Inn. "Enjoy afternoon tea surrounded by turn-of-the-century canvases in a living museum." The magazine spotlighted the Governor's Suite with grand king bed, 2 fireplaces, Victorian birdcage shower, whirlpool and iPod sound system.

"Katharine Hepburn and a doddering Henry Fonda may have made Golden Pond famous, but it's this New Hampshire Lakes District inn that keeps Squam Lake (the pond's real name) on the map, " reports Ms. Glover on the Manor On Golden Pond. "Dinners are elaborate candlelit affairs; the kitchen swings in both directions, offering Chateaubriand for Two as well as special dishes for vegans." Featured room blue-and-white Churchill Room with king bed, Jacuzzi tub, and fireplace.

Both properties are founding members of the Distinctive Inns of New England and both are AAA Four Diamond rated. Check availability for Cliffside Inn or Manor On Golden Pond. Travel+Leisure Top 10 Slide Show
