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.
