I had a great stay. The building has a lot of history and the grounds are amazing. There is a swimming pool which is large enough to do laps. The staff are friendly and my room was exceptionally clean.

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.

Staff went out of the way to help, when I mistakenly thought I had lost some earrings after leaving the hotel. The actual hotel is full of interesting history of the area.
I will definitely be back

My husband and I stayed just one night. The property obviously has so much history and character. The grounds are so beautiful. I can see it being an incredible place for weddings. The property is very clean and we had everything we needed. We slept very well.
Unfortunately we couldn’t use the pool and tennis court like we wanted. September weather can be tricky for the pool with the leaves falling all the time.
The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Thank you very much.

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!

Like you own Downton Abbey for a couple of nights. But in the mountains!!!
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
