The Blaylock mansion was such a unique and cool accommodation to stay at. It is conveniently located just 10 min away from the fun Baker street shopping hub but far enough away to enjoy the quiet lake side view. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and there was always great coffee ready with fresh fruit in the morning. The room was clean and quiet. Highly recommend staying here!

It has one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever seen. Designed over years. There are hidden treasures all through it. The Mansion itself is exactly what you would expect from an ultra Rich family from 100 plus years ago. I definitely will be staying again

The rooms was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The grounds surrounding the Mansion were absolutely amazing. The history of the place alone was worth the booking. Had a nice swim in the pool as well. One of the coolest places i have ever stayed at.

Absolutely loved it. We explored the Gardens and enjoyed the pathways around the maze of beautiful plants and water features. We spent time swimming in the huge outdoor pool and playing games and billiards in the basement. The room was very clean and quiet and the owners and staff are welcoming. Highly recommend.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
If you’re all about staying where King Charles once visited, this is the place for you. But we didn’t find it good value for our travel dollar. There are no services nearby, traffic noise is brutal lakeside, and the for-an-extra-fee breakfast is not always available and not clear when it is offered either. The outdoor pool is unheated, so unusable. There’s no air conditioning, no in-room amenities (fridge, microwave, tv, etc), electrical outlets need to be replaced before they cause a fire, window screens don’t fit properly and the spiders have taken over. The grounds are lovely and its history intriguing but this once stately home now needs a facelift - and the property details need to be more accurately represented as to what it has become. It has potential but at best it’s a 3/5.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The setting and furnishings were appealing and morning coffee was refreshing. The bed was very comfortable. The Presidential Suite is large but the TV and ceiling fan did not work. Could get only cold water in the shower stall. Hot water was available in the tub shower. The pool was empty and needing work. There was no room service. Pricey for the obvious issues and lack of service.
