Barnsley Resort has just added another reason to book a trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains. The luxurious, 3,000-acre property will debut Jules, a brand new restaurant helmed by chef Shaun Doty in August. Doty founded Atlanta's beloved Southern diner Bantam & Biddy and The Federal (a James Beard semifinalist for Best New Restaurant), and has worked in restaurants throughout the world.
Barnsley Resort’s New Restaurant
Jules will celebrate seasonal Southern cooking with ingredients sourced from the resort's farm and area growers and producers. The restaurant, which is housed in a farmhouse built in 1854 that was moved from Rome, Georgia, to the resort in 1994, is getting a whole new look as well. Charleston-based architecture and design firm David Thompson Studio will be giving the space a fresh and inviting look with private dining spaces, leather and velvet seating and accents, antique mirrors, and more. Like all of the restaurants at the resort, Jules will be open to the public, not just guests.
Barnsley Resort’s Reimagined Cottages

The other big news at Barnsley is that 39 cottages on the property recently received a top-to-bottom makeover by Charlotte, North Carolina-based Charlotte Lucas, our 2022 Idea House designer. Inspired by the property’s lush surroundings, Lucas used warm plaids, subdued florals, and wooden furniture, plus accents like rattan sconces and pastoral paintings that complement the gorgeous views from every window.

Just in time for warm weather, Barnsley updated the resort’s saltwater pool with a larger deck, new cabanas, and other amenities. By the end of the summer, there will be another pool with a zero-entry layout, lazy river, and seven private cabanas. Expanded and enhanced courses at the Beretta Shooting Grounds, as well as the addition of six pickleball courts and a Biergarten (shown above) in the center of the resort’s village, round out the renovations.
