brunch at the mayflower

July 12, 2024

Inn from garden

Summer is such a fabulous season in Connecticut.  There are so many great spots to explore – many that take on an aesthetic excellence during the summer months.

The Garden Room

One of these spots is The Mayflower Inn and Spa in Washington, Connecticut.  The Mayflower is a luxury country retreat set on 58 private acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and woodland in Litchfield County.  The Mayflower always exudes distinguished luxury, but the spectacular grounds make a summer visit extraordinary.

Cacio y pepe beignets served at The Garden Room at The Mayflower Inn and Spa in Washington, Connecticut.

My recent visit to The Mayflower Inn was for brunch in The Garden Room – a beautiful light-filled dining space overlooking the Shakespeare Garden.  Though the menu showcases the finest in seasonal and local ingredients, the views were the star of the brunch for me.  Two fabulous views:  1. the view of the indoor décor and 2. the view of the outdoor grounds.

the décor provides the perfect garden ambiance – right down to the perfect bathroom wallcovering!

While dining, the outdoor view of the Shakespeare Garden prompts a walk outdoors to visit and appreciate all its nuances!
