Hotel in Norfolk, CT

Rest. Reflect. Reconnect.

The Manor House Inn is the perfect location for both weekend adventures and restful retreats. Our enchanted corner of Connecticut will transport you back to simpler times to savor the picturesque New England countryside. The Alders Estate is convenient to modern amenities but tucked away on five acres in Connecticut’s breathtaking Litchfield Hills in a town where art and nature are savored and celebrated.

We are among a handful of Green Hotels in Connecticut. EV parking is located one block away at City Hall.

Our adult-oriented, nonsmoking property is equally suited for rest and romance, or Back Hills adventures and experiences. Digital detox is highly encouraged. Vintage books, board games, and lawn games abound.

See dozens of New England Day Trip options with biking, hiking, kayaking, and more. If you prefer cultural attractions, there are many museums, galleries, antique shops, and vintage theaters nearby. It’s also an ideal location to enjoy the Connecticut Wine Trail, Connecticut Beer Trail, Covered Bridge Electric Bike Tours, and the Best New England Fall Foliage Drive, not to mention Infinity Music Hall, Norfolk Chamber Music Festival and Yale Summer School of Music are a short walk away. Although we cannot accommodate pets, we are located near Pooch Palace Resort which offers boarding.  

Accommodations

Built in 1898, the Alders Estate offers a peaceful and private location for relaxing getaways to create meaningful, memorable moments.

Each of our accommodations are perfect to suit your needs and private parties, such as weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, and even a romantic getaway.

Each morning we serve a two-course breakfast with one seasonal entrée, including guest favorites like orange French toast, tomato and herb frittata with crumbled goat cheese, and blueberry puff pancakes. We happily accommodate special dietary restrictions with 24-hour advance notice including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, etc. There are also many excellent restaurants along scenic drives.
