Exceptional Bed & Breakfast Inns Of New England

Eight New England bed and breakfast inns are profiled in this nicely shot guide which offers viewers a good look at the inn, an introduction to the host and/or hostess, and an idea of what to expect for breakfast. Reservation information, number of rooms, and price ranges are noted for each of the eight locations. In Maine, viewers see The Hutchins House (York) and the English Meadows Inn (Kennebunkport); in New Hampshire, the Cartway House (Gilford); in Vermont, the Quechee Bed & Breakfast (Quechee); in Massachusetts, the Whalewalk Inn (Eastham) and the Clark Currier Inn (Newburyport); and in Connecticut, the Old Mystic Inn (Old Mystic). While this is not a critical guide (the inns are neither rated nor compared with others), the program does succeed in portraying the general ambience of each of the places visited (which is something that guidebooks really can't do). Recommended. (Available from: The Bed & Breakfast Co., 145 Grove St., Suite 4A, Peterborough, NH 03458; (800) 639-5702.)
