You could say that romance at the Westbrook Inn Bed and Breakfast goes back a century and a half. After all, the 10-room boutique inn on the banks of the Patchogue River was originally built in 1876 by a sea captain for his daughter and her new husband. Today, its picturesque gardens, scrumptious gourmet breakfasts and special Tuesday tea experiences continue that romantic tradition. In fact, there are packages for that! The Romantic Escape package includes sparkling prosecco, chocolate truffles and keepsake heart glasses. The Romantic Beach Picnic for Two package includes a charcuterie, prosecco or wine, served in a styled picnic setting on the beach. There are also packages for the perfect marriage proposal in this perfect setting. (Check the website!)
