White Barn Inn Review
For a romantic overnight stay, you need look no further than the exclusive White Barn Inn, known for its attentive, pampering service. No detail has been overlooked in the meticulously appointed rooms, from plush bedding and reading lamps to robes and slippers to flowers and fruit. Rooms and suites are in the main inn and adjacent buildings; there are also riverside cottages. Some quarters have fireplaces, hot tubs, and luxurious baths with steam showers. Formally attired waiters, meticulous service, and exquisite food have earned this inn's restaurant—in a pair of restored 1820s barns—accolades as one of the best in New England and beyond. The four-course prix-fixe dinner ($106) features regional and organic fare.
2010 Fodor's 100 Hotel Award Winner
Rustic elegance is what you'll find at the White Barn Inn Restaurant, where diners enjoy upscale New England cuisine while seated in two beautifully restored 19th-century barns. Exposed wood beams and candle-lighted tables serve as the backdrop for executive chef Jonathan Cartwright and his culinary creations. The restaurant's four-course menu changes weekly to showcase seasonal ingredients and the regional flavors of coastal Maine.
