The room was a little small and doesn’t include a mini fridge or microwave, but every other amenity makes it such an amazing place! I would definitely return and stay here again.

The bed was very comfortable and the scones in the morning were delicious. The water pressure was very low and a window rattled continuously. Some of the furnishings were antique and looked very nice in the room. A large wardrobe was in terrible condition. The doors wouldn't close, the back was falling off and it was held together on the side by clear packing tape. It wouldn't take too much to make it presentable and usable. The room was very quite and the interior of the common rooms are lovely.

I stayed in the Garden Studio, which has a private entrance on the back side of the house. The pictures of the suite don't do justice to how large it is; it's probably 900 square feet, including a large bathroom, a kitchenette, a 4-seat table, and a couch area with TV. The king-size bed was wonderful and I slept very well. There is a slight amount of morning noise coming from upstairs but I think it's just the staff putting out the breakfast. I observed no noise whatsoever after dark.

Charming old mansion. Nice location. Minimal staff. Spartan - closet consists of a rod near door, with an assortment of plastic hangers, and a small fridge in between; dorm-room like.
