There is, without a doubt, something uniquely comforting about tea. Sure, all hot beverages are comforting, but the ritual of tea is what sets it apart. It’s all the better if you have a full, British-style tea-time, complete with pastries and teapots. If you fantasize about sitting down for a cup of tea like a character in Downton Abbey, we have just the spot for you – no plane ticket to England required.

The Silver Fountain Inn is an absolutely lovely historic inn in Dover, and it's a treat to stay there – but you don't need to be an overnight guest to enjoy the delights of their tea parlor.
