"A grand Litchfield County retreat refreshed by a luxury group, with a bespoke spa and a chef residency that brought April Bloomfield to oversee two distinct dining experiences: a casual Tap Room where her celebrated deviled eggs and country pâté appear, and a more vegetable-forward Garden Room offering inventive plates (from tempura-encased pickled celery to duck breast in smoked broth). Bloomfield also expanded the property’s kitchen garden, inspiring seasonal programs and a collaboration with a prestige champagne house. The property combines classic New England stone-and-barn charm with witty, updated interiors and a focus on local farm partnerships." - Ann Shields
