A friend in-the-know emails this lodging recommendation for Manchester: The Palmer House, upscale motel for about $150 a night. Large rooms and beautifully maintained grounds make for a comfortable stay.
She also recommends Mary’s Restaurant at the Inn at Baldwin Creek in Bristol Vermont for a treat after a pretty drive, not far from Burlington and Middlebury College. The owners are very involved in the slow food movement. The Inn also looks lovely.
