This historic property is just a 10-minute walk from Cobourg’s main shopping street. The 1840s Greek revival house—one of the town’s oldest buildings—offers three spacious guest rooms. With its pale aqua walls, ornately painted gilt mirror, crystal chandelier and antique four-poster bed, the Mrs. Fortune Room has a French feel; the Manchurian features an impressive Chinese armoire and oriental carpets; while the Gatsby Room has a private entrance and back porch. All rooms have their own bathrooms. Proprietor Cathryn Thompson, a caterer, serves a lavish breakfast: crème caramel and fresh fruit, perhaps, followed by eggs and sugar-baked peameal bacon.
