My first memory of the mansion was my visit last year when Jim picked me up at the airport, ran an errand on the way back to the mansion, and then gave me a tour of the grounds before taking my bags to my room. There was something so personal and small town about it. Charming.
When you make your reservations, they work with you to accommodate your diet at breakfast, there are fluffy robes and slippers waiting for you, along with a hand-written card from your housekeeper, and the bath products are yummy imports from England. In other words, the service is wonderful.
My favorite detail has to be the original doors, locks, and skeleton keys.
