Auberge & Spa West Brome

Description:

• Out in the country, beyond town limits, this quiet property is made up of a grouping of creamy-yellow buildings amid rolling hills. A 1898 farmhouse at the roadside contains the reception desk and restaurant. About 90m (295 ft.) back are more modern structures, where the bedrooms are. A spa with therapeutic baths, massage rooms, and pedicure chairs was added in 2005. Rooms are in three categories: Classic, on the small side but not cramped; Deluxe, with full kitchens, fireplaces, and decks; and Suite, which can accommodate four. The complex is close to the Route des Vins (www.laroutedesvins.ca), with many of the vineyards near Dunham. The auberge recycles 80% of all glass, metal, and paper items; uses only recycled-paper products and compact fluorescent light bulbs; and bans fertilizers and pesticides from its gardens and lawns.
