Each of the eleven rooms are unique, designed with elements like canopy beds, pine cladding, archival wallpapering and a color palette somewhere between sweet pastels and melancholia.

King Bed Room with a writing desk and lounge seating sectional sofa with a private bathroom
The Ribbon is wrapped in dove-hued archival wallpaper that hails from the early 19th century, its pale gray tones brushed with hints of blush, like feathers on a bird’s wing. The third-floor room features a matching ruffle-skirted sectional, as well as a four-poster king-sized bed, custom-dyed rug, and upholstered coffee table. This daintily-appointed room is inspired by “well dressing”— an annual Barrow’s Green ritual where wells and other water sources are decorated with flowers. Lately, the designs—exquisite, elaborate arrangements of petals, small seeds, and peat moss in the shape of ribbons—have been conceived of by Ursula Lumley. As a young woman, Ms. Lumley received a fellowship to study art in London—but returned to Barrow’s Green not a year later, refusing to speak of her time in the city and a rumored annulled marriage.

Located on the second floor of the Inn, The Rookery features a Queen-sized bed, hand-painted wardrobe and lounge seating.

Queen Bed Room with writing desk and lounge seating sectional sofa and a private bathroom
Perched on the second floor of the Inn, Mildred’s Plum features fig-colored wallpaper, as well as window shades, skirted table, and deluxe queen canopy bed with custom tassel tiebacks in the same rich, ripe tone. An antique writing desk looks out over the town of Rosendale. Mildred’s Plum is inspired by the award-winning black beauty plums grown by Mavis Spriggs, a lifelong resident of Barrow’s Green. The plum bounty has been the pride of the village for over two decades, with the exception of a single poison plum that nearly killed Amabella Fytche, who was serving as the harvest festival judge. Had the plum inadvertently come into contact with water hemlock, or was the judge targeted?
King Bed Room with a writing desk, lounge chairs and a private bathroom
Located on the third floor of the Inn, Mant’s Crake sings of spring and fresh forsythia: wrapped in trellis-inspired wallpaper, the room swathes visitors in shades of green and gold and features a lace-canopied king bed, as well as antique brass reading lights, warm wooden table lamps, and a hand-painted wardrobe. The room is named after the bird discovered by Professor Greville P. Mant, an ornithologist and passionate conservationist. Birdwatchers regularly flock to Barrow’s Green for a chance to spot the crake. It is perhaps best known as the subject of The Night Bird, a fine oil painting by Edith Amherst, which once hung in the village Courthouse, but was defaced in an unsolved act of mischief.
Queen Bed Room with a writing desk, lounge chairs and private bathroom
Located on the third floor of the Inn, The Old Room is a quaint dowry chest of a bedchamber, lined in soothing blues and sweetly sinuous archival wallpaper. It features a queen-sized bed, hand-painted wardrobe, and handmade hooked rug custom-colored for The Six Bells. The Old Room is inspired by the bounty that the local mystery writer Harriet Swinborne brought back from her latest book tour in the United States. Her prized souvenirs include 19th century friendship quilts, hanging calendars, and a veritable stable of wooden farm animals.
King Bed Room with a writing desk, lounge seating sectional sofa and private bathroom
Lined with fretwork wallpaper, The Double Duke is a Deluxe King room that envelops visitors in shades of deep cinnabar and features a king-sized bed, writing desk, and striped sectional seating. Thoughtful textiles abound, including pistachio-hued window shades, handmade hooked rug, and upholstered coffee table. The Double Duke is inspired by the old Village Reading Room, which served as a library and sitting room during the day and a site for general revelry (and a good rabbit pie) at night. It closed indefinitely after a fight broke out between the groundskeeper at Cranbrook Manor and a man who looked exactly like the young and dashing Duke of Chester. But it couldn’t have been him, as the Duke was a guest of Lord Ashborne that very night, and dozens of witnesses saw him at the dinner party held in his honor. Doppelganger? Or does the Duke have an unacknowledged twin?
2 Bedroom Suite with a King Bedroom with lounge seating sectional sofa and an adjacent room with 2 twin trundle bed
Scrubbett’s Ledge is one of the Inn’s two-bedroom family suites. Replete with shades of soft lichen and goldenrod, the suite features hand-stenciled walls with swags and trellises, with one king bedroom alongside an additional sitting room and twin trundle day bed. The tale of Scrubbett’s Ledge is shrouded in mystery. The room is inspired by sightings of smugglers in Barrow’s Green—visitors have reported seeing wooden crates fished from the rushing waters of the Nid River, as well as mysterious figures in matching green mackintoshes coming and going in the moonlight.
