Part Nine

Frequent visitors will witness the changing of the seasons. At any given time of year, the ever-changing landscape is adorned in different raiments—the tender buds of spring, the flowers of high summer, extravagant fall foliage or a quiet blanket of snow in winter. King Arthur’s Suite is a favorite, with a huge bay window that frames the scenery. The room is furnished with a white iron bed, covered with a hand-made cutwork duvet and matching pillow covers. An imposing dresser conceals a dry bar stocked with fine port wine and a selection of single-barrel whiskey.

The bathroom features a deep jetted tub made for a long, quiet soak. To enhance relaxation, add three drops of lavender oil, two drops of frankincense and two drops of petit-grain, a citrusy essential oil, to the bath.
