History

Established in 2002.

A Butler’s Manor, a Southampton, NY bed and breakfast inn is located on the East End of Long Island. The village of Southampton was settled in 1640 and is the oldest English settlement in New York State. Our bed and breakfast was originally constructed in 1860. «A Butler’s Manor takes its name from Christopher’s profession. A proper British butler for over 20 years, Chris ran estates in both Europe and America before «retiring» to welcome guests to our luxurious bed and breakfast. The personal service that is the hallmark of his profession, along with Kim’s attention to detail, will make your stay at A Butler’s Manor an experience in hospitality you won’t soon forget.

Chris and Kim A.

Business Owner

British-​born Chris worked on estates in Europe before moving to California in 1985 to run a property in Laguna Beach. He met Kim (while playing darts in an Irish pub in Newport Beach, CA), and they married in 1988. They moved to the East End in early 1992 when Chris accepted a position managing an estate in East Hampton. In his spare time, Chris loves gardening, woodworking, and learning new skills, from computers to composting.

Kim, a native Californian, is a writer and author of four published books, including a memoir about Chris’s life in service, titled A Butler’s Life and two psychological suspense novels titled Net Stalker and Blood Exposure. Additionally, after repeated requests from friends and Manor guests, Kim also published A Butler’s Manor: The Cookbook. She loves the creativity found in cooking and decorating, and is continually plotting either a redecoration of one of our spaces or the storyline of a new book.
