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 restaurant was not open for guests, just special parties. We highly recommend the Inn and would love to go back.

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!

Just a short drive away is a nice little hike (The Rock House Reservation) as well as a pond with a restaurant right at it. Also, the local pumpkin festival just happened the day we arrived. All over - the perfect place for a cozy weekend getaway.

It is different every day. It appears very Victorian, but there is a hidden TV in one of the downstairs rooms, and there is free wi-fi. It is tricky to get to, but well worth the trip. If you are going to be anywhere near Woonsocket, this is the place to stay. Heck, if you are staying in Providence, I'd still drive here to stay. This was our second time here (we stayed for 4 days both times).

We spent one night at this lovely old Victorian mansion. The building itself, quaint and filled…read morewith antiques, is charming and quite comfortable. We stayed in the Garden Room, spacious and with a king size bed, very nicely decorated. On the problem side, the room was chilly and the only heating sources came from a window air conditioner/heater, which did nothing but blow luke war air into the cool room. We chose the alternative, a small electric fire place which, over a l-o-n-g period of time actually warmed the room to a comfortable level, while adding a romantic ambience to the charming room. We had a private bathroom, well-equipped and boasting a spacious walk-in tiled shower. The bed was perfectly comfortable and I had a great night's sleep. Breakfast, the second phase ofany Bed & Breakfast experience, was okay, but not great. We had fresh fruit salad,warm corn bread, lots of delicious hot coffee, and a little tiny dry veggie frittata. Ho hum. To make matters worse, the server seemed to have nothing better to do than to hang over the back of one of the chairs and engage us in endless conversation abut her life. Not cool. Breakfast would have been improved with twice the food and none of the intrusive conversation. Overall, our stay was okay, but I think I would look elsewhere should I return to the area for an overnight stay.

The inn is close to the Blackstone River which is a beautiful place to take a walk, bike ride or rollerblade. It is about 25 minutes from Providence, RI which is a great city to visit. The rooms in the inn are themed, for example, you can choose from the Rose Room, the Lilac Room, Almost Heaven and the Treehouse Sweets. In the summer, relaxing by the pool is a lovely way to spend the day. I highly reccomend Morin's Hideaway if you are visiting the area!

We stayed in the Stafford Suite circa 1778, which was an entire suite. (King bed, kitchen with all necessities, bathroom, cozy livingroom filled with games and so on...). I was in the area visiting UConn for the weekend so this was perfect; about 25 mins away. I had two issues with this stay and I will advise if you have ASTHMA or are an extreme ALLERGENIC person this may not be the right place for you. I struggled!!! 1) there's no heat in any rooms. There's individuals small Honeywell heaters in the bedroom and livingroom which take a lifetime to heat up the rooms. The bathroom does have its own heater. I tried leaving the heater on on low during the day while I left so when I came back I could be comfortable but it was turned off when I came back, I'm assuming the owner went there during the day. Since it's the room is technically under the room floors it's colder plus it's October fall in New England, it's generally cold here. 2) the mildew smell in there is very intense. We had to come home and wash everything. The smell was even trapped in my hair, it stunk badly. In order for them to mask the smell, everything is perfumed heavily. The sheets in the bed are heavily scented with whatever it is they use. If you are an ASTHMATIC or just a Plain ALLERGEN individual this May be a major issue for you. I know it was for me. After laying down for a few minutes, i started coughing, my chest hurt, and then shortly after I went into a full blown asthma attack. We then switched pillows from the couch to the bed and I also threw the blanket that was on the couch of the sheets on the bed and that's how I was able to sleep for the days we were there. Thankfully the couch items were not scented. Please be ware! Don't want anyone to suffer the same. Otherwise the place is beautiful, cozy, romantic if your if your looking for that setting and quiet. Can't speak in regards to food ( I ate out).

The fixtures were beautiful, the towels were so soft, and there were lots of lovely extras in all of the rooms (white noise machine! lavender bath salts!) The rooms were immaculate and the beds were incredibly comfortable (we typically stay at high-end hotels, and I expect to be a little disappointed in beds when staying at smaller places - not the case here!). I say beds because Danele pulled out the sofa for my son, and I wound up sleeping on it for part of the night - remarkably comfortable! The kitchen had everything we needed if we wanted to cook (we didn't!), including freshly ground (that day!) coffee, and Danele's breakfasts were delicious. When we had a splinter emergency with my youngest, Danele was able to help out with first aid supplies and kid-friendly band-aids. She saved the day! I can't say enough good things about this place. It exceeded my expectations in every way. We are looking forward to coming back again.
