"Our stay was only one night. The mansion was beautiful. Breakfast was fantastic and our host/chef was very personable and helpful in providing recommendations for things to do and see in the area. One small negative is that, when we made our reservation, the only room available (2nd floor) did not have a connected bathroom; its bathroom was on the first floor. While it was a private bathroom just for us, it was somewhat inconvenient. All the other rooms have bathrooms."
