Light House

Charles and Anna Chalcraft started Four Seasons in New England before the days of the internet, in 1994.  We planned to visit Anna’s family in Boston and could find no relevant information in the UK about where to stay.  Extensive research and mailshots to vacation rental agents progressed quickly to further trips around New England.  Between us we have seen over 2,500 houses and more than 600 inns and B&Bs and 30 resorts.  Not including countless hotels and motels.

As - Accommodation Only - tour operators, we “tailor made” holidays and matched our client’s requirements to the properties that we knew.  We suggested interesting itineraries, with a mix and match between different property types throughout the year.  We selected properties where we, as a family, would be happy to stay.  We have high standards and strong family values. 

The after effects of 9/11 in 2002 hit us hard; we have kept Four Seasons in New England going.  We bought an empty 7 bedroom Georgian school that we restored and then opened our doors for 4 years running it as a 4 Star, 3 bedroom B&B.  We sold it in July 2008 to concentrate on www.holidayinnewengland.com .

With many more internet savvy independent travellers researching and booking their holidays on-line, there is a need to provide a short list of quality, inspected accommodation with decent maps and a selection of local things to do.  Using our travel experience, contacts and knowledge of New England, we are perfectly placed to provide this impartial information. We are no longer arranging holidays.
