This is a beautiful property in the best traditions of historic New England B&Bs but stands out due to the fantastic welcome and friendliness of the team. The excellent daily afternoon tea - in reality an irresistible selection of sweet and savoury snacks - is a very welcome bonus. Would not hesitate to recommend the Francis Malbone House.
