A Tudor-style Berkshire manor house built in 1902 and set on 110 manicured acres in Lenox, just minutes from Tanglewood and the area's world-class cultural offerings. The Relais & Châteaux property features 25 rooms and cottages, a renowned restaurant, and outdoor heated pool.
Blantyre is a grand Tudor Revival manor house set on 110 acres of meticulously maintained grounds in Lenox, Massachusetts, in the heart of the Berkshire Hills. The estate was commissioned in 1902 by Robert Paterson, a Scottish-American industrialist, and its timber-frame gables, stone chimneys, leaded casement windows, and formal English gardens reflect the ambitions of Gilded Age Berkshire summer society. The property is a member of Relais & Châteaux and has operated as a country house hotel since the 1980s, consistently earning recognition as one of New England's most romantic and atmospheric retreats. The 25 rooms and suites are distributed across the main house and a series of outbuildings and cottages on the grounds, each individually decorated with antiques, bespoke textiles, and period furnishings that evoke the manor's private-house character. The main house dining room is the heart of the property, serving refined contemporary New England cuisine in an oak-paneled room with a fireplace, and the wine cellar has received Wine Spectator recognition for its depth. An outdoor heated pool is set within the formal gardens, four tennis courts serve active guests, and croquet lawns occupy the southern meadow. A fitness center and spa services are available on the estate. Blantyre sits at the cultural epicenter of the Berkshires, within a short drive of Tanglewood, Shakespeare & Company, Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Becket, and the Berkshire Museum. The estate is open seasonally from spring through early winter, with peak demand from May through October. Lenox village, with its independent shops and restaurants, is a short drive from the estate gates.
