Hancock Inn

There are too many good things about this very special place to list. But here are just a few: the owners, the vibe, the high standards for literally everything, the in room fireplaces, the personal attention, the cuisine including the best ever breakfasts (that are included), the always above and beyond (e.g. they took all the snow off our car in the parking lot early in the morning after a storm, the owners made a delicious three course dinner for guests who couldn’t get to a restaurant due to the same storm), the historical elements and decor, and much much more. We absolutely loved staying here.

This was our first time at the Hancock Inn--it was suggested we try it on the advice of friends who have been many times. We were not disappointed and we will certainly be back! We stayed in the Bell Tower which was spacious, comfortable and quiet--in fact, we stayed New Years Eve and were wondering what the noise level would be like but it really was very quiet. We enjoyed the deep jetted tub and the canopy bed along with the nice view of the courtyard. After spending some time in the bar during happy hour, we quickly learned that Ignacio is a fun, friendly bartender with a lot of interesting stories--and he makes amazing drinks! Our dinner was delicious--I had the lamb and my husband had the cod (we both had the pistachio creme brulee) as was breakfast (made to order with many selections). I especially loved the cozy, colonial feel of the place and the reading nook at the top of the stairs. Oh...and the resident adorable senior golden retriever (Potter) who loves affection was a special touch. :) Additionally, there is a really neat market across the street where you can support local. We will definitely be back!
