the ultimate in a romantic experience, and if you are a guest of the Junior Suites, Mays Cottage and the Loft Suite, you may wish to experiment with one of the inn's bath services.

After setting up a time, a butler will arrive and transform your suite's bath with richly fragrant waters reflecting one of your choices, the orchid milk bath, the goodnight (moon bath), it's a good day bath or even the double bubble champagne bath. All drawn baths feature the finest quality Molton Brown bath and spa products. You need not worry about intruding on your privacy. As soon as the baths are drawn the butler discreetly disappears.

Although the inn is not set up for large wedding parties, they nevertheless can lay claim to setting up a most unique wedding ceremony. Recently, a justice of the peace performed a marriage ceremony while the groom's rabbi participated in the ceremony via a telephone conference call. The wonders of modern technology!

Romantic Dining

The inn also proudly upholds its reputation as New England's premičre AAA Five Diamond dining establishment, where the experience is nothing less than memorable and the food superb. We can all use a little dose of romance every once in awhile, and when you have the combination of candlelight and fireside quiet conversation with superior service, you can't help but create the perfect romantic setting.

We had the pleasure of sampling the mouth-watering sautéed local halibut filet on a white asparagus and vanilla ragout with a Vidalia onion and potato cake. This had been preceded with a lobster spring roll with carrot, daikon radish and snow pea in a Thai inspired spicy sweet sauce.

After savoring these tasty delights, we understood why in 2002 Relais Gourmand recognized the creative, elegant and innovative cuisine of the White Barn Inn's signature dining facilities. Wine Spectator in 2001 bestowed the Award of Excellence to the inn's restaurant for having one of the most outstanding wine lists in the world. Condé Nast Traveler's "Top 100 Readers' Choice Awards" in 1998 ranked the dining facilities as highest in the world for a resort kitchen.

Just consider its incredible wine cellar with an international selection of more than 7000 bottles of carefully chosen wines, impeccable service, refined atmosphere and superb chefs, and you can appreciate why these prestigious publications have agreed with Relais Gourmand.

For luxury-loving travelers and sophisticated tastes the White Barn Inn and its restaurant will beyond doubt serve as that sought after impetus in realizing all of your romantic fantasies.
