Blantyre

Blantyre Review

Modeled after a castle in Scotland, this supremely elegant 1902 manor house sits amid nearly 117 acres of manicured lawns and woodlands. Lavishly decorated rooms in the main house have hand-carved four-poster beds, overstuffed chaise lounges, and Victorian bathrooms. The rooms in the carriage house are well appointed but can't compete with the formal grandeur of the main house; however, they're close to the spa and pool and less expensive. The restaurant serves upscale country-house fare—no cream or heavy sauces, light on the butter. A typical meal might feature Long Island duck breast with melon-basil salad, beef tenderloin with pea puree, and Key lime soufflé.
