Each accommodation blends historic charm with relaxed elegance, and is thoughtfully curated with a blend of natural textures, neutral tones, and bespoke furnishings, evoking a sense of calm that mirrors the surrounding landscape.The interiors are bathed in natural light, thanks to large windows and skylights that invite the outdoors in, while thoughtful details like curated books, cozy fireplaces, and artisanal ceramics make each cottage feel uniquely personal. Added luxurious touches include plush Frette linens, handcrafted wooden accents, Grown Alchemist bath products and curated artisanal coffee, tea & snacks (South Fork Bakery Brownies and North Fork Potato Chips) that celebrate the local aesthetic and low key luxury.
The Roundtree’s design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating an environment that soothes the soul and inspires relaxation. What sets The Roundtree apart is its commitment to creating a truly bespoke experience. Whether you’re lounging in the back garden, sipping a glass of rosé as the sun sets by the fire pit, or curling up by the fireplace with a good book, every detail is designed to make you feel at ease. The hotel’s attention to detail extends to its amenities, including a fleet of custom-built bikes for exploring the area, and even a Tesla charging station for eco-conscious travelers.
But perhaps the most enchanting aspect of The Roundtree is its ability to make you feel as though you’ve discovered a secret hideaway. There’s no grand lobby or bustling restaurant—just a quiet, intimate retreat where the focus is on relaxation and connection. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and the only agenda is to savor the moment.
