There are inns, hotels, and motels right in our villages, others conveniently located along Route 1 just a few minutes from town, and still others nestled in countryside and seaside settings. Cottages, which evoke a nostalgic feeling and provide the privacy and quiet of a separate little "house," are often tucked among the evergreens or perched by the water.

You can count on a sincere welcome at any of these accommo- dations, as none is too large to ever be impersonal. Your comfortable room or suite will have been thoughtfully looked after by the owners who, in most cases, will also be right on the premises. If they aren't there to greet you upon your arrival, you're likely to meet them during your stay, and you can count on them to provide good tips on local activities and attractions.
