Glorious September Here in Litchfield County
September In Litchfield
The property is lush; guest rooms and suites with their soft seating and writing desks, Tivoli Audio radios and Wildsmith products, are inviting. The pool is warm and the town — with all of its cultural offerings and abundant natural beauty — await.
Graceful Dishes In Understated Elegance
Enjoy Chef Tyler Heckman's stylish, laidback fare in the Dining Room for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Current menu hightlights include: Fluke with roasted strawberry & black vinegar; an outrageously delicious green salad, that Chef dresses with a palm sugar vin, kohlrabi & fresh herbs; Cucumbers with green mango & macadamia nut; Lobster custard, with heirloom corn & basil; Fettuccine with bottarga & Peekytoe crab; and Octopus with charred eggplant & smoked yogurt.
Belden bathhouse offers so many ways to soothe your body and mind. In addition to our Wildsmith Treatments — facials, massages, scrubs and more — we are now offering individual use of our steam and sauna, so that you (and your travel mate) may experience that particular aspect of bathhouse, independent of booking a Wildsmith Treatment.
From a tag sale at our local auction house to art openings in the nearby towns we frequent, Belden's Culture Calendar offers ideas for how to spend your days. Also to note: artist Frances Palmer, whose work is on display at Belden, will be giving an artist's talk this Friday, 9/5 in Stockbridge. On September 14, our very own Chef Tyler Heckman will be at South Farms for the Savor Litchfield annual food event.
TOWN GUIDES
Think of our Litchfield County Town Guides as curated crib notes on what to do here in Litchfield and in nearby towns
Comprised of four villages — Cornwall Bridge, Cornwall Hollow, East Cornwall and West Cornwall — Cornwall is renowned for its natural beauty and creative community, all of which you miss if you stay on the main drag and don't venture into the tiny enclaves themselves. Don't miss visiting the covered bridge and the Pink House in West Cornwall.
"We want Belden House to be more than a hospitality experience...a place that represents this special town and lives in harmony with it's community.."

BH&M IN THE PRESS
Town & Country editor Adam Rathe interviewed Dutchfield Founder, Anthony Champalimaud, for their Best Room At... review column.
Hospitality Design took a microscope to Champalimaud's sourcing for Belden in their Behind The Design feature, highlighting elements from local craftspeople, like our twenty2 Grasscloth wallcoverings, Bantam Tileworks, White Dog Woodworking built-ins, Fortuny chandelier in the Library and much more.
