    A lovely mansion with beautiful gardens and greenhouse. I’ve only visited around the holidays which is very pretty with several Christmas trees.

    Magnificent gardens and views. We went to a Christmas tea at Blithewold to start the season off with a little holiday cheer. Just gorgeous and a beautiful setting inside. The tea was delicious with homemade scones and other tea sandwiches. After the tea, I strolled in the garden to look at the garden. The trees are just so impressive and unusual. One of my favorites is a weeping Hemlock. I would highly recommend doing a tour at Christmas and you must buy your tickets ahead of the season as the space is limited.

    Such a great place! Never thought I would see a Giant Sequoia but they had one that is over 100 years old!

    Enjoyed our visit immensely. I'd rather spend a summer there than the Breakers,

    Wonderful. Helpful and friendly staff. Also the handheld audio tour was perfect for my husband because he is hearing impaired. He could take out his hearing aids and use the ear buds. That way he could adjust the volume and not be distracted with echoes or other sounds.

    My husband and I were just married at Blithewold and we had an AMAZING experience. Karen Bellavance and her crew run a tight ship and made sure every detail of the ceremony was carried out perfectly. They worked well with the caterer and vendors, as well as with us throughout the planning process. We live across the country, which can make coordinating efforts a bit of a challenge, but we felt we were in good hands with Karen. She even took phone calls with us well after east coast business hours as needed to ensure we were all on the same page.
    We hired a band that has never worked with Blithewold before. There are some constraints around decibel levels as the mansion is in a residential area, but everyone communicated well and our evening was perfect (read- super fun dance party).
    The grounds and reception- Blithewold is gorgeous. We were married in the garden area facing the water. Even though it was mid-October, the flowers in the garden were colorful and beautiful. The tent is already decorated with lights strung across the top which add a pleasant ambiance. There is a lovely bridal suite where my bridesmaids and I were able to finish getting ready. The bathrooms were clean and well kept. Our photographer was like a kid in a candy store taking our pictures in various parts of the mansion grounds. The sunset was breathtaking and added to the beauty of the evening.
    All in all, we had a wonderful experience. We both agree that the wedding and reception far exceeded our expectations.

    Our entire family visited both during the summer for a concert, and during Sparkle. What a beautiful place with lovely, helpful people. The Christmas trees in every room, the welcoming atmosphere. A really magical night during the holiday season. Don't miss it!
