CONNECTICUT MAGAZINE - JANUARY 2012 Fall ClassicsOvernightsYou’ve got to have some geek appreciation for a place that names its four rooms and three suites after favorite historical personages: master gardener Gertrude Jekyll, Golden Hill Paugussett Indian chief Pomperaug, Woodbury settler Zachariah Walker, etc. But the dining rooms—outfitted with three wood-burning fireplaces and serving fine French-American cuisine—are for lovers; they were deemed a “Romantic Top” in last year’s Zagat Survey and have won the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. CONNECTICUT MAGAZINE - APRIL 2009 Triple PlaysA good place to spend the night, interesting choices for meals, absorbing or entertaining things to do—these are the three basics we all seek when we travel. Here are some itineraries where the “threes” are wild.Like many towns in Connecticut, Woodbury manages to blend New England charm with contemporary sophistication, providing a destination in the scenic Litchfield Hills that is a true triple play—a number of great places to stay, an abundance of excellent restaurants and enough antiques dealers to proudly call itself “The Antiques Capital of Connecticut.” It also is very accessible and visitor-friendly—here there are no large crowds to endure, no tangle of busy roads to navigate, just Main Street (Route 6), which bisects the town and is home to the majority of dining venues and things to do. Down the road is the slightly younger (built in 1789) Longwood Country Inn, which has five guest rooms and an award-winning restaurant, their Sunday brunch having been honored as the best in the area—although the rest of their Zagat-rated menu serves well, ranging from seafood crepes del mar to Long Island crescent duck bigarade to herb-encrusted filet mignon.
