A bed and breakfast offers a needed escape from a house, apartment, or charming boxcar filled with wayward children. Break away from exacting abodes with today's Groupon: for $299, you get a two-night stay at Belfry Inne & Bistro, a complimentary breakfast, and $100 toward dinner at the Belfry Bistro in Sandwich on Cape Cod (up to a $610 total value).

A charming bed and breakfast, Belfry Inne's restored historic buildings bestow roving travelers with a cozy getaway. Choose one of nine picturesque rooms within the The Painted Lady, a renovated Victorian home, or opt for one of six rooms in The Abbey, a refurbished former Catholic church, whose chambers boast dramatic vaulted ceilings and cozy nooks. Like shifting fingerprints, no two rooms are exactly alike, although all are flush with historic charm and vintage furnishings. Depending on the house and room you choose, Belfry Inne serves up a handful of extra amenities, including skylights, balconies, gas fireplaces, and the strong but silent hug of wireless Internet.

Upon awakening, guests can sip organic, fair-trade Costa Rican coffee while noshing away hunger with a complimentary breakfast, featuring items such as stone-cut oatmeal, farm-fresh eggs, and crisp buttermilk waffles topped with Vermont maple syrup. After spending a day at the nearby beach or scouring local shops for life-size postcards, guests can apply $100 toward dinner at the Belfry Bistro, which amasses fresh local and regional ingredients for its seasonal menu. Sup on sautéed Prince Edward Island mussels before soaking up chardonnay pan broth and herb butter with a toasted baguette ($12), or feast on a slow-cooked Colorado Spring lamb bedecked with mint-rosemary-scented natural jus ($31).

The Belfry Bistro is closed Mondays; plan ahead to ensure you can utilize the full value of your Groupon.
