The Bedford Village Inn was once the
site of a working farm built in 1810. Through a multi-million
dollar restoration, the original residence became the home of
our nationally acclaimed Four Diamond restaurant. The original
barn was transformed into fourteen luxury guest suites, which
offer the most modern amenities to today’s guests, yet are
filled with elegant and charming details. Twin silos from the
original property stand sentry to our magnificent Great Hall
that soars three stories high and provides the most unique event
site in New England. Its huge bay window overlooks an
ever-changing seasonal garden.
Around the property elegant gardens
feature thousands of color-splashed perennials and the freshest
herbs for our kitchen while a wisteria-draped walkway and
several gazebos offer dappled shady nooks. Miles of granite
walls, ancient oaks and natural plantings further enhance the
charm of this 18th century property.
The Bedford Village Inn estate is
the perfect site for an overnight retreat, magnificent wedding
or an unforgettable dinner to celebrate your special occasion.
Our impressive list of awards and
achievements might entice to you to visit the Bedford Village
Inn the first time, but our staff, service and food will charm
your return.
Accommodations:
Each of our fourteen guest suites is individually appointed for
the comfort of your body and the delight of your senses. The
drape of an opulent fabric, the luxury of one-of-a-kind
furniture or the crafted details in even the smallest pieces is
intended to please the eye. Each element is carefully chosen to
emphasize the unique personality of your generous suite and
gently beckons you around the next corner. Beyond its spacious
sitting area, each invites you to sink deeply into an antique
four-poster King-sized bed. Room service is only too happy to
awaken you with fresh morning delights or later conspire to
satisfy a sweet tooth. Perhaps you'll luxuriate in your private
whirlpool bath...surrounded by Italian marble and polished brass
- a perfect place to leave your cares or plan tomorrow's
activities. Mindful of your unspoken needs, all suites furnished
for you to ease back and experience a visit that truly
rejuvenates or prepares you for a brisk business meeting.
All accommodations include:
King four-poster beds, 32" plasma high- definition television
with DVD entertainment system, sitting area with sofa and
comfortable easy chairs, desk, 2 telephones, data ports for
modem internet connection, complimentary hi-speed wireless
internet access, complimentary newspapers, marble bath with
whirlpool bathtub, bath amenities, robes, personal coffee, safe,
iron and ironing board. Evening wine and cheese reception and
turndown service with BVI baked cookies.
Dining:
There is one aspect of the Bedford Village Inn’s philosophy that
is absolutely rigid and inflexible: To use only the freshest
indigenous ingredients in preparing the most exquisite New
England regional cuisine. And because these ingredients change
with the seasons, our menus also change frequently to take the
best advantage of them.
Here are just a morsel or two to anticipate from the kitchens of
the Bedford Village Inn: Sautéed double–breaded goat cheese,
crispy on the outside, warm in the middle, stuffed with sweet
apricots and pine nuts then drizzled with balsamic vinegar and
nestled in Mesclun greens with fresh herbs. Then, for an unusual
nutty flavor for a main course, savory grain remaining from the
beer brewing process makes a specialty dumpling smothered with
fresh prawn or lobster. Or perhaps a crisp seared duck brushed
with an aged glaze of rum, vanilla beans, molasses and brown
sugar. Finally - just say "Chocolate Bag" and you’ll experience
The Bedford Village Inn’s signature dessert albeit a difficult
choice from among the many fantasy confections on the menu.
Corks Wine Bar:
The Bedford Village Inn has been known for its
impressive wine cellar for over 20 years offering 8,000 bottles and 750 labels
for both the novice and sophisticated enophile. We’ve created an elegant,
unpretentious wine bar worthy of honoring excellence and toasting great wines by
the glass or the bottle. Bamboo floors, rich cherry wood paneling, gold flecked
cork wallpaper, leather and plush seating, an ultra modern fireplace, and an
under-lit onyx bar all combine to create our sophisticated Urban Chic
atmosphere.
Certified Sommelier Jon Carnevale oversees the wine program blending the old
with the new. A 16 bottle Enomatic cruvinet system from Italy uses argon gas to
preserve the delicate flavors of exotic wines not usually found by the glass but
offered at Corks by the ounce. And there will always be something new to taste,
including special barrel samples, flights and personal blends.
Corks, of course, offers a full bar and beer on tap
along with an exceptional menu.
The artwork is as original as the room itself.
Acclaimed artist Gerard Puvis from France has created beautiful lithographs
using foil wraps from vintage wine bottles to create art forms that are as
unique as the process suggests.
