I must say...this is the first time I was disappointed at the Southern Mansion. We headed down on Friday morning, and without stopping off for breakfast, knowing that we would have this wonderful tea when we arrived. At check in, we asked if the tea was at the usual time, since we come here every year for the past 4... more

We decided to splurge and stayed at the Southern Mansion for 2 nights -- overall, it was worth it. The Mansion itself is beautiful and clean, very grand and historic. The room we stayed in (#23) was huge, with a great cupola / skylight right above the bed. Breakfast was delicious -- better than expected: You can choose between 3... more

Rooms were elegant, parking on the premises, flexibility of the staff. All 30 family members loved the mansion....staff was accomadating to our special requests. My 85 year old Mother loved walking through the beautifully maintained gardens... more

Just got back from a mini break weekend at the Southern Mansion. I love to read reviews but rarely write them. The Southern Mansion experience has compelled me to break with that tradition. I will start by saying that the building and grounds are beautiful. Our room was also very nice. The included breakfast and afternoon tea were also very... more

If you think of this as a Bed and Breakfast rather than a hotel you will be happier. The services are limited. The staff was helpful but this is not a fully-staffed hotel. We had a family meeting and all the arrangements were well taken care of. All the dinner reservations were handled well. Our room was on the second... more
