While originally part of a larger farm tract, today two acres remain to surround Ashley Manor with graceful hedges, stately old trees and natural woods. A charming gazebo completes the aura of a former time, while a carefully sited tennis court blends gently into the surroundings. Common rooms are large and sunny in summer, cozy and warm in winter...and beautifully furnished with antiques, oriental rugs and graceful country furniture. Here, guests are invited to relax quietly by the fire, read a book from the Manorís library, or share conversation with the other guests or the innkeeper. The six bedchambers or suites are carefully decorated and appointed to reflect the 17th century details of the inn. Each is a spacious, private refuge. All feature modern baths, all but one enjoy working fireplaces, and the suites have large whirlpool tubs. Each room has its own special charm...some feature New England shuttered windows, or colorful old Nantucket speckled floors, or canopy and pencil post beds. All include those lovely small touches that reveal the innkeepersí caring attention to detail and your comfort: imported bedside chocolates, the finest soaps, shampoos and lotions, and in-room coffee and tea service for the early riser. Every room has a comfortable sitting area for two, where you can enjoy that cup of tea, or perhaps a good book. And for guests who are reluctant to cut all ties to the 21st century, Ashley Manor has in-room telephones with data ports, and televisions are also available upon request. After a day of touring, Ashley Manor will welcome you back...for a set of tennis, to enjoy one of the many books in the library, complimentary cordials in the evening. Relax on the terrace or enjoy a luxurious whirlpool bath before dinner at one of the nearby fine restaurants. Surely the early Cape Codders lived this well... So step back in time. Discover Ashley Manor for yourself where serenity, history, and luxurious comfort come together to indulge you with simple pleasures and a sense of times past. You'll want to stay a while...and return again and again!
