   For those who love visiting romantic inns, the Holy Grail is discovering an absolute gem that you would return to again and again. It would  offer beautifully furnished rooms, delicious breakfasts, and intriguing  mix of guests, and warm, friendly hosts. The Garden Cottage in Cedar city, Utah, has all of the above, plus lush English-style gardens bursting with blooms.

   Just two and a half hours north of Las Vegas, this very special bed and breakfast is across the road from one of  America's premier Shakespeare festivals, strolling distance from delightful restaurants and shops and a short drive along scenic byways from the natural wonders of Zion National Park, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and numerous ski slopes. Leaving the premises will be far from your mind, however ,when you arrive at this fairytale-worthy inn.

   Once inside the rose-framed entryway, and antique-filled parlor and dining room set the scene for a memorable stay. Four dreamy bedchambers, each decorated in a floral theme, are outfitted with sublimely soft pillow-to queen-size beds, vintage quilts, and linens embellished with hand made lace and embroidery.

   After settling in, enjoy a snack, plan your stay the the congenial innkeepers, Gary and Diana, and relax in the garden. And don't forget to reserve your favorite room for your next visit. A place this delightful fills up quickly.
