West Dover/ Glowingly described by a fellow innkeeper as “a diamond in the rough” in its early stages, the Doveberry has upgraded its accommodations and matured into what Condé Nast Traveler ranks as one of America’s 25 top inns with super chefs. Owners Michael and Christine Fayette, who are well known for their restaurant (see Dining Spots), live on the premises and offer overnight guests a variety of rooms with king, queen or two double beds. All have TV/VCRs, and some with skylights convey a contemporary air. Two rooms were enlarged and renovated and three deluxe newcomers emerged in 2002, thanks to a three-story addition to the south end of the building. The three new rooms come with whirlpool tubs, fireplaces and balconies or decks – “anything and everything that anybody ever asked for in the past,” in Michael’s words. The renovated Blue Room with queen bed gained a whirlpool tub, and the Green Room became a suite with king bed and twin and a fireplace stove. Christine decorated all the new rooms with wallpaper above painted wainscoting, country accents and lots of pillows. Overstuffed dark blue sofas and armchairs are grouped around the open brick hearth that warms the large common room. Tea and cookies are served here in the afternoon. Guests order a complimentary breakfast from a full menu. Choices range from belgian waffles to eggs benedict with a crab cake.
Eleven rooms with private baths. Fall-spring:
doubles, $125 to $215 weekends, $105 to $165 midweek. Summer: doubles,
$95 to $135 weekends, $78 to $95 midweek. Two-night minimum weekends
