The Rooms
- The rooms at Mayflower Inn & Spa are all different — each has its own unique style and eclectic charm and some were designed by Celerie Kemble.
- During a 2020 renovation, the inn retained the rooms' traditional four-poster beds and updated the spaces with sisal carpets, Turkish rugs, hand-crafted ceramics and bright textiles from Schumacher, Sister Parish, and Penny Morrison.
- Upgrade to a suite for perks like gas fireplaces, balconies overlooking the bucolic grounds and much more room to stretch out (suites range from 933 to 1,200 square feet).
The Restaurants
- The Garden Room, helmed by chef Jose Ramírez-Ruiz, celebrates "elegant rusticity," with menus featuring the ingredients from local Connecticut farms.
