When I travel, one of the first things I notice when I arrive at a hotel is their amenity soaps. More often than not, I bring my own—I’m never quite sure about the quality or harshness of what might be provided.
That’s precisely why, at the Inn, this detail has always mattered to us.
We chose Molton Brown in the early 2000s because it consistently delivers the kind of quality we wanted our guests to experience—products that feel indulgent, gentle, and thoughtfully crafted. Founded in London in 1971, Molton Brown has remained committed to producing its formulations in England, using exceptional ingredients and maintaining the same standards across both retail and hotel collections. It’s a brand that has long been associated with the world’s finest hotels—and for good reason.
Over the years, our partnership has allowed us to offer something truly distinctive. We were honored to be among the first properties to introduce Molton Brown’s 1971 Collection when it was released—a fragrance line that pays tribute to the brand’s origins. The scent we feature is not widely available in hotels and cannot be purchased directly, making it a uniquely Fearrington experience.
It’s subtle, layered, and quietly memorable—something guests often remark on long after their stay.
For those who fall in love with it—as many do—you can find our Molton Brown amenities available at Nest and through our online shop in the Fearrington Collection, allowing you to bring a bit of the Inn home with you.
A few years ago, we also made the decision to move away from single-use plastic bottles in favor of larger-format dispensers—a change many hotels have since embraced in an effort to reduce plastic waste. More recently, we’ve taken that a step further with the introduction of sleek floating dispensers in our guest bathrooms.
These dispensers are designed with both elegance and practicality in mind. Mounted with an invisible wall bracket, they create a clean, uncluttered look while remaining incredibly durable and easy for our housekeeping team to maintain. A discreet fill-level indicator ensures seamless replenishment, and the system itself is tamper-resistant—an important feature in today’s hospitality environment, helping to ensure that what’s inside is always exactly as intended.
In keeping with Molton Brown’s broader environmental commitments, the packaging incorporates post-consumer recycled materials, aligning with a continued effort toward more responsible manufacturing and reduced waste.
It’s a small detail, perhaps—but one that reflects how deeply we care about the experience of your stay. From the fragrance to the feel, it’s all part of creating something thoughtful, comforting, and just a bit special.
