Dog Daze of Summer DINE Deals:  Exclusive offers for DINE readers

Dog Days of Summer Deals - Dog with tennis ballFor many, the dog days of summer refer to the end of summer when weather is warm and travelers scurry to fit in last minute getaways.  Perhaps that means for Distinctive Inns of New England (DINE) innkeepers they work like a dog to create the perfect end-of-the-summer getaway.  Yet, the origin of this phrase is actually in the stars. The ancient Romans referred to the hottest days of summer as “diēs caniculārēs” or “dog days”.  They associated the hottest days of summer with the star Sirius, known as the “Dog Star” because it was the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Large Dog). No matter its origin, six members of the Distinctive Inns of New England have created DINE Dog Daze of Summer Deals, for their guests seeking romantic getaways and outdoor escapes to cap off the summer and kick start the fall travel season.

We bring you six exclusive offers for DINE readers to enjoy.  Please note all of these offers are limited in time. You may not combine these offers with any other promotion, discount, gift certificate or third party booking (like from Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com, etc.).  Each one of these offers are valid on new reservations only, meaning guests may not cancel an existing reservation and re-book for this offer. All reservations are on a space available basis, and DINE dollars are not offered on discounted stays. Please be sure to book these offers directly with the inn by calling or booking online (with promo code, when mentioned).  Meanwhile, you won’t read about these offers anywhere else but here, so take advantage of this very special deal, offered to DINE readers only.
