This romantic getaway, a Princess Anne Victorian home built in 1898, sits on a lovely street lined with galleries, antiques shops, and restaurants. The inn has large, comfortable guest rooms with names like Rosemary, Chamomile, Oregano, and, of course, Thyme. The rooms have enticing featherbeds, fresh-cut flowers, and original artwork; some have Jacuzzis and fireplaces. An English-style herb and flower garden lures guests to the backyard and gives the inn its name.
