Blantyre
Travel 120 miles west of Boston, 138 miles from New York City and discover Blantyre. Set amidst 110 acres of spectacular Berkshire countryside, this Tudor-style mansion, built in 1902, replicates a grand Scottish manor. The splendor of Blantyre reflects the love and devotion of owners Jack and Jane Fitzpatrick and their daughter, Ann.
With its lovely leaded glass windows, richly burnished woods and luxurious fabrics, the inside of Blantyre is exactly what you would expect upon seeing the outside of the building. In the Main House, there are overstuffed chairs, fresh flowers, a light-filled music room, and rooms for private dining — all designed with the comfort of our guests in mind. The heart of the house, the baronial Main Hall on the first floor, is an eclectic mix of period pieces and treasured heirlooms specially assembled under owner Ann Fitzpatrick Brown and her mother Jane's discerning eyes.
The Tudor-style manor houses eight exquisite bedrooms and suites, many with fireplaces. The twelve accommodations in the nearby Carriage House echo the warm and lush fabrics, antiques and style of the Main House, as do the four private cottages. Every bedroom at Blantyre has a distinct character.
Dining is a very special event at Blantyre. Late every afternoon, the Main House undergoes a lovely transformation as we prepare for the delightful dining experience to come that evening. Linens are brought out, tables are set with sterling silver, fine china, crystal, and fresh flowers. Beautiful music fills the air and candles are lit. Under the knowing eye of Chef Arnaud Cotar, the kitchen is a hive of activity as the finest ingredients are used to create a memorable dining experience.
When you arrive, you can enjoy a pre-dinner glass of Champagne and canapés on the covered terrace or in the Main Hall. Or sample one of rich red wines in the Music Room. Then adjourn to the dining room where your delicious entrée will be served by gracious staff. 24-hour in-room dining is also available.
The Potting Shed Spa is located adjacent to the heated outdoor pool and offers beauty and body treatments par excellence. Blantyre...a beautiful place where guests can indulge in outdoor activities...four Har-Tru tennis courts and two championship croquet lawns, a large swimming pool and shuffleboard.
