Overlooking picturesque Picton Bay, Claramount
welcomes guests to a gracious 1906 Colonial Revival home.
Restored to reflect its grandeur as a centre of social life in
early twentieth-century Prince Edward County, the inn offers ten
luxurious rooms featuring period furnishing, generous seating
areas and inspiring views of the gardens and harbour. Claramount
Inn & Spa embraces the Kneipp philosophy developed in
nineteenth-century Germany. The five pillars of this
wellness-inspired philosophy include hydrotherapy, phytotherapy,
kinesitherapy, dietetics and regulative therapy (using,
respectively, water, plants, exercise, nutrition and
activity/relaxation). These pillars guide cuisine, spa
treatments and classes. Guests arriving by boat are invited to
dock their yacht at the inn to enjoy relaxing therapies, fine
dining and luxurious accommodations.
 
This
1906 heritage estate has been restored with great respect for
its past grandeur and the original floor plan has been followed
wherever possible. Guest rooms are imbued with a historic
atmosphere, and feature period furnishings and original Canadian
artwork. Several rooms have balconies or verandahs. Guests enjoy
an upper-storey sitting area which is popular for reading, quiet
conversation and taking in the view of the spacious landscaped
grounds.
Dining at Claramount
proves that healthy cuisine can also be creatively prepared and
presented. In accordance with the spa's commitment to the Kneipp
philosophy, fresh herbs figure prominently in the menu, as does
an emphasis on vegetables and grains. Vegetarian dishes are
always available. Guests at Claramount have special dining
privileges at nearby Waring House Inn, where you can enjoy their
own brand of
Barley Days Brewery Beer.
Ask about the wide variety of classes offered at the Waring House Cookery
School.
