Great report, looking forward to reading more.

Really enjoying your trip report. The Christmas inn looks amazing and the food yummy.

More days coming soon... !

Looking forward to reading, my parents are hoping to do something very similar so it'll be great to give them some ideas!

Fantastic read I really enjoyed it and it's now on my bucket list.

I've finally finished the report... sorry for the delay - it takes a lot longer than you'd imagine!

What a fantastic report! I've just sat and read it all in one go. You described everything beautifully, I almost felt like I was there with you! Your children seem so well behaved, I'm not sure mine would have been quite so smiley & happy with all the walking (lazy little toads! ).

Christmas Inn sounded so homely and welcoming, and with waffles, cream & strawberries for breakfast, what's not to love? ;)

Your photos were stunning too, but I do think a special thank you is due for not showing us the size of the spiders you encountered :omg::omg:;)

Thanks Alison, really great report.

Thank you JoJo88 - it's been a bit of a slog writing getting the thing written, and I did leave it hanging for some time, but finally got round to finishing yesterday!

Re the spiders, I did consider taking photos, but was worried about jumping out of my skin when I rolled back through the camera, so decided against!

I'df definitely recommend a trip to New England - it's simply stunning (and our trip wan't even in the fall!)
