Hamptons Bed and Breakfasts

It truly will feel as though you are staying at your favorite Aunt's home when you are a guest at this B&B located near the tip of the North Fork. The three charming guest rooms have been decorated with great attention to detail with each having an old fashioned floral theme. All have private baths with two having claw foot tubs with shower and one having a stall shower. The dining room and parlor maintain the old fashioned Victorian feel also. Only minutes from the harbor village of Greenport and North Fork wineries, it is particularly well located for those arriving to the North Fork via Cross Sound Ferry. Both sandy bay beaches and LI Sound beaches are nearby and you will want to sun yourself on one of them for a bit after enjoying a full breakfast served by Aunt Dot herself.

A good wager would be that absolutely no one could pull up to this gorgeous B&B and not say "Wow!" The house sits on acres of landscaped grounds exploding with color and scents. Vignettes suitable for a cover of Life dot the gardens and in fact you will find paintings of some of them in the house. It will be hard to move past the wide front porch into the house, but enter you will and the wow factor continues. A spacious hallway is flanked by the cozy parlor with books, a piano, a fireplace, and super comfy furniture and the dining room where guests gather each morning to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast. Pride of place belongs to the caricature of owner Lorry's father, Howie Mann, band leader and drummer, drawn by Al Hirschfeld, famous NY Times caricaturist. The guest rooms, each with large private bath, show off Lorry's decorating skill to perfection. Showcasing your hosts desire to help you relax is the separate massage room! Perhaps the greatest Assets to this home are owners, Jerry and Lorry, who so love running a B&B and have so many fun and interesting talents, stories, and insights to share.

A Butler's Manor: This B&B's location within walking distance of the train station and the posh village of Southampton is not the only thing to recommend it. The rooms are decorated with such a sense of balance, charm and beauty that guests not only feel privileged but welcomed and comfortable. The common rooms are cool in summer, warm in winter, and delightful all year round. You'll have a breakfast suitable for serving at the finest NYC restaurants, and perhaps topping, but certainly matching, any memories you hold of breakfasts you had at your grandmother's or that little place in France. There's an outdoor pool framed with specimen trees and bushes, a back porch covered with wisteria, a fireplace, books, and fresh flowers everywhere. Best of all, however, are the owners, Kim and Chris Allen. You will be especially comfortable in their presence, and after a weekend at their B&B, feel especially privileged to have met them.

The simple beauty of this true farmhouse is seen not only in the wrap around porch and country kitchen, but also in all the small touches: a bunch of wildflowers in a royal blue pitcher - an antique quilt displayed on a wall. The rooms have the perfect juxtaposition of creativity and authenticity. Its views are of farms and vineyards, its scents are of wildflowers and grapes. Its feeling is timelessness. Round the corner to find historic farms, green fields with horses grazing, and working vineyards. This is the North Fork as it once was and in some places, still is.
