Cotswold and Clover

This restored country estate two hours from New York City, draws on Cotswold-inspired architecture while feeling quintessentially New England. The saltwater pool sits within landscaped gardens, ivy-clad walls enclosing the kind of afternoon you won't want to end. Come evening, the library living room earns its keep – richly layered and built for long, unhurried nights. The surrounding Connecticut countryside offers state forests, nature preserves, and colonial town greens to explore, and on-site walking trails mean you don't even need to get in the car to find a good walk.

Home truths:
* Guests have access to all areas of the home, apart from the barn.
