Our favourite rooms
The Sycamore Suite overlooks the garden, Dunham Creek and several namesake trees planted all the way back in 1835. For extra thinking space, ask for the Two-Bedroom Suite – its light-flooded indoor porch comes with a writing desk and a snooze-ready daybed.
Poolside
The family-friendly pool is set in a secluded corner of the gardens. It’s refreshingly unheated, and open from Memorial Day (late May) to Labor Day (early September).
Spa
You’ll find a fully-fledged wellness haven in The Barns – there's a top-spec gym with Technogym machines, detoxifying saunas, and an airy space with soaring ceilings for group yoga, Pilates, meditation and movement classes. Private yoga classes, tennis lessons, personal training sessions and spa treatments – like couples massages, acupuncture and gua sha and infrared facials – are also available on request.
Packing tips
A notepad and pen, no matter your skill-set – they’ll be just as useful for scribbling poetry, sketching the sycamores, or recording the length of your best catch.
Also
Ramps make it easy for wheelchair users to access all common areas, and there’s a suite with an adapted bathroom on the ground floor.
Pet‐friendly
Dogs are welcome in Benton House and Garden House; there's a flat fee of $100 per stay. See more pet-friendly hotels in Upstate New York.
Children
All ages welcome. The garden lawns have plenty of space for outdoor play, and for rainy days there’s a pool table and a selection of board games.
