"Mindfulness and relaxation at this cozy and eclectic New England B&B"
>
The hotel lobby was a Celerie Kemble masterpiece
Our cozy room was the perfect combination of traditional and eclectic
Our room along with the Garden Room restaurant, the lobby, the library, and the Tap Room was in the hotel’s main building
Mayflower Inn's grounds were beautiful and seasonally adorned
This space was taken over by Canadian artist, Marie-Claude Marquis, for her fun exhibit “Too Tired To Sleep” which included plates and items featuring self-care reminders
The Tap Room is great for a dinner martini and burger at the bar
The Well Spa at the hotel is a total dream. Such an amazing facility for such an intimate hotel! I could have stared at this view of the changing leaves from the relaxation lounge all day
We enjoyed dinner and breakfast in the Garden Room. Both were simple and delicious
The perfect place to post up during the warm summer months
The library room is the perfect place for an afternoon tea with a good book. If you forgot your own they have the cutest bookshop cupboard with a curated selection of out of print and vintage books
Loved the trinkets and treasures in the tiny hotel gift shop
Just me, feeling reluctant to leave after a great weekend
Highs & Lows
-
Leave it up to none other than the fabulous Celerie Kemble to design the most refined yet whimsical interiors for the recently renovated Mayflower Inn. Every space feels totally bespoke and unique. From the botanical textiles, wicker lamps, ceramics, layered textures, colorful wallpapers, and fanciful paper flowers — not a single detail was overlooked.
-
The hotel’s The Well Spa is a must visit. They offer amazing treatments and classes in the most beautiful venue.
-
Take advantage of the curated experiences offered at the hotel from tarot card readings and wine tastings to pottery making and archery.
-
I loved that we were able to connect the TV to our Netflix to relax and binge watch some of our favorite shows.
-
There were so many thoughtful details throughout our stay. Every flower arrangement was prettier than the next. Our nightly in room surprises from a special mocktail (I was pregnant) to locally made bath products were so appreciated. The cupcakes for my husband’s birthday and the welcome note and bottle of champagne made us feel extra special.
-
Unfortunately, my room (which was in the main building) was a bit noisy, making some much-needed shut-eye a challenge.

Washington CT is just blissful and rightfully served as the inspiration for Stars Hollow, the greatest fictional town from Gilmore Girls. Even so, the town of New Preston, just a short drive away from Mayflower Inn, is even more impressive with a number of amazing design stores.
