Startle

In keeping with the overall motif of the property, the Fearrington House Restaurant has an English-country-style interior design. The moment you step foot inside the restored farmhouse, which was originally built in 1927, you’ll find walls bathed in yellow that reflect the morning light during breakfast and glow like candlelight during dinner at dusk. Wood parquet floors peek out from rugs, oil paintings grace the walls, and floral valences and drapes frame the windows, creating a rustic yet regal atmosphere within this Four-Star restaurant. The off-white tablecloths are dotted with small vases and candles, which allow you to keep your eyes on the prize: the food. From some tables, you can look out a bank of windows that offer a view of the magnolia trees, rhododendron bushes, stone fountain and pristinely green lawns.
