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.

We smelled it immediately upon walking in to the otherwise charming inn. We had an issue with our television and when she came to our room to assist, although we were very grateful, the cigarette smell was overpowering. We had to leave the windows open on a cold afternoon to clear it. That said, the beds were comfortable and the room was clean. We weren't able to enjoy the breakfast because we had to be somewhere earlier than the start time for breakfast would allow. We would likely come again if in the area.

The fireplace was cozy, especially since it was fall and the evenings a bit chilly. The bathroom was comfortable and the water pressure in the shower excellent. Our room overlooked the gardens and it was quiet and peaceful. The perfect two night stay. Breakfast each morning was more of a continental style breakfast which was plenty but Nok will happily cook eggs and bacon for those wanting a heartier breakfast. The restaurant was not open for guests, just special parties. We highly recommend the Inn and would love to go back.

The house is clean, the land is cared for, and it was very toddler friendly/accommodating. There are goats, chicken, produce, flowers, and so much more to just relax here and enjoy the air. The stars are beautiful at night as well. The house is has a lot of history and charm. It is difficult to turn out of the driveway in the busy road where others are going fast and the bushes block some visibility of oncoming cars. Highly recommend this B&B!

To top off the experience in this 1723 house we were treated to a tour by the fascinating owner who has traveled the world and shares her finds with her guests. The other hostess was as welcoming as could be and served us such tasty treats. The house is on a farm of goats and free range chickens, quintessential Colonial New England. Put this on your bucket list, you won't be disappointed.
