Gateways Inn and Restaurant in Lenox, MA. Relaxing in The Berkshires.

As part of my reviews of Select Registry, an association of bed and breakfasts, inns, and small hotels in the US, I stayed at Gateways Inn in Lenox, Massachusetts. Back in the Berkshires!

Gateways Inn
Gateways Inn is housed in a building that used to be the summer cottage of Harley Procter of Procter & Gamble and is now an 11-room inn.

I stayed in the Rosalind room, adorably decorated in light blue.

The "office" nook
The best part? This teddy bear in a bath robe! You can't take him home, but at least I could snuggle with it all night.

There is also a large screen TV, a fireplace, and a Keurig coffee machine in the room.

Cozy bathrobes, plus the blue one matches with the teddy bear.

After freshening up, we headed down to the restaurant for dinner. Gateways Inn also has a upscale restaurant that some locals and tourists alike visit.

We started with some French Onion Soup

Gougeres with apple slices. I wish these gougeres were cheesier, though.

Duck breast, sweet potato croquet, roasted squash

I liked this entree with nicely cooked duck breast and the sweet potato croquettes were a fun side.

Rack of lamb with scalloped potatoes, cooked medium rare just the way I like it.

Maple creme brulee for dessert, although I wish it had a stronger maple flavor.

Overall we had a nice dinner at Gateways Restaurant's quiet dining room. They also use local ingredients when possible and highlight local wineries and breweries.

The bar here boasts having the largest whiskey selection in The Berkshires.

They also have live music in the lounge, which is a nice option to occupy your time at night in the Berkshires.

Some R&R after dinner. Jacuzzi and bath salt!

The breakfast spread that we were presented with the next morning was quite impressive.

Especially if you love cheese. It was also my first time trying Gjetost (right bottom corner), a unique cheese from Norway. Gjetost is a caramelized goat's milk and whey cheese. Caramelized cheese. You have to try it!

Homemade preserves and almond butter for the bread and toasts!

We also got an omelette, and that day's was made with asparagus and brie.

I was quite rejuvenated after my stay at Gateways Inn, especially after soaking in the jacuzzi. Gateways Inn and Restaurant offers comfortable and romantic rooms, a nice restaurant and bar, live music, and a great breakfast in the morning.
