We are delighted to see The Barns and our new wellbeing treatments in partnership with Wildsmith being celebrated in Yolo Journal's "Cure Hotels" recommendations.

"FOR A HEALTHY FRIEND-CATION (OR LONG WEEKEND WITH YOUR MOM WHEN SHE'S PAYING)"

Troutbeck, Amenia, NY — "Just two easy hours from New York City by car or train, The Barns at Troutbeck offer a restorative escape that is the epitome of low-key, country chic. Set within the boutique hotel's extensive gardens and grounds, The Barns are a series of design-led buildings made of reclaimed timber from the decommissioned Tappan Zee Bridge. Stepping into the natural light of these serene spaces, you'll actually want to do a yoga class, or Pilates, or a guided meditation. There's nothing "medi" about this spa, but it's the perfect place for acupuncture, sound bathing, astrology reading or a good old-fashioned workout.

A particular highlight are the treatments that incorporate UK skincare line Wildsmith, including a Radical Botany Facial, a Salt Scrub, and a New Life (for expecting parents) massage that is designed to ground and center, all the while yielding healthy, glowing skin.

After a half-day spent in The Barns, you'll want to head for the 250-year-old manor house where a crackling fire and low-lit bar with excellent cocktails and snacks awaits."
