Steps from the famous Cliff Walk and a 20 min walk to downtown makes this the ideal location. The room was quaint but beautifully decorated and appointed. The room had a fireplace and a large shower, as well as a bay window looking out to ocean. Each morning there was a delicious breakfast assortment served and a wine and cheese hour each day at 5pm. There was also a beverage station with tea, coffee and water available all day as well as an assortment of nuts, trail mix and candy. Both ladies that worked there during our stay were so sweet and made us feel at home. We cannot wait to stay here again and recommend that you consider it as well!

Stepping foot in this property is sure to take your breath away. The service is just as wonderful. Johnny and Theresa took care of us. Johnny picked cocktails and menu items that met our dietary needs which was so greatly appreciated. Theresa took care of all of our needs during our dining experience. She cleaned up an accident spill, replaced our drink (even though I was the idiot who spoiled said drink), got us new napkins, and brought anything we asked for. She was personable and we really loved having her as a server! The drinks were next level from presentation to taste. The matcha cocktail in the teddy bear cup was perfection! The food was tasty and flavorful! If you love seafood, charcuterie, fondue or cheese on cheese on cheese, then this is the place! I'd also like to go back to try their dumplings and more of their dessert cocktails. The Surf Shack has a lot to offer, so you best check it out!

There is no doubt The Mansion at Bald Hill is a stunning venue to host an outdoor wedding. The…read moregrounds are maintained beautifully, and the gardens are green and lush. We loved the dramatic ceremony aisle, and the cocktail hour patio space was perfect. The ballroom can truly be transformed into something magical and memorable. Though the venue itself was overall perfect, we did not have a good experience with their so called "day of coordinator" (DOC). There was an extreme lack of communication and professionalism experienced during the rehearsal and wedding day with the DOC. As a Type A bride, I planned every last detail to a T and even provided a fool proof binder of my expectations for decor setup and wedding day flow. On the night of our rehearsal...the day before the wedding, we were informed that the DOC and her staff would not be assisting in the setting up of any of our wedding décor. The only portion of the setup they handle are the tables w/ linens (if you choose to use theirs) and the ceremony chairs. This was not discussed or disclosed to us when booking the venue and had it been, we would have hired an actual coordinator. Due to this, one of my bridesmaids and the significant others of the bridal party had to set up everything the morning of the wedding. Due to the lack of eye for detail and overall care from the mansion's DOC, she did not read the binder we provided her with which in turn also caused our ceremony to be mismanaged. She told the groom and bridal party to start walking before the officiant even began reading the opening remarks resulting in our officiant having to skip over the whole beginning of our ceremony script. We would have been better off without her "help" and "services" altogether as several of our other vendors also commented to us about her rudeness towards them. We also want to share our experience regarding their "open bar" pricing. Due to specific wording in the contract, we were charged an additional (quite significant) amount of money for alcohol consumed. You are not paying for an open bar here but rather by consumption so please be sure you understand your contract fully to avoid this unnecessary additional stress. Overall, we feel the venue itself made our wedding perfect, but we are giving only three stars due to the DOC's behavior, lack of care for the bride and groom and subpar services provided. If you fall in love with the grounds like we did and choose to book your wedding here, the major takeaway we have from our experience would be to hire your own coordinator. You will need someone who always has the bride and groom's needs at the forefront of their mind and someone who truly knows and cares about executing your vision. Your wedding day should be stress-free and that will not happen here without an outside coordinator.

Breakfast included coffee, tea, fresh juice, fresh fruit, homemade pastry, and a savory entree (quiche, sausage & baked eggs, etc) You will not go away hungry! East Bay's location is perfect for exploring the Island on foot or by car, or heading over to Newport. We even made the quick 1 hour drive down to Stonington CT for wine tasting.
