My teen daughter and I found it relaxing and fun. I enjoyed the shower and products. The bed was very comfortable and the light blue room so soothing. Going outside onto the lawn, with statues, fish pond, pool and tulips in full bloom was captivating.

We were excited to stay at this beautiful historic hotel and even joined in on the history tour. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. My favorite part was relaxing on the chairs that line the great lawn & listening to performers sing in the Brown Room. The Spa did a great job. The retail store was cute. The Blue Pig Restaurant on the ground floor was amazing and we ate there everyday of our stay. The beds were nice & soft like clouds, but the Wi-fi was weak in the property. Other than that, I would be stay here again any time.
