My wife and I stayed there on our wedding night 9 years ago and had nothing but fond memories. So as a treat I surprised her with a night at the McBirney after the hustle and bustle of Christmas. You can check in at 3 and we were there shortly after that. We were promptly greeted by a staff member who checked us in and issued us keys to our room and the mansion itself. The mansion was as nice as we remembered, some of the rooms had been remodeled but they still maintained the charm of the place. We stayed in the«Room with a View» and it was very nice. It had a king size bed and a nice tub made for two. If you decide to use the shower be careful I flooded the bathroom before I realized it. The way the tub was installed if the shower water hits a wall it runs around the tub edge and runs out on the floor. They had a large tray of cookies in the hall with coffee, tea, and bottled water. I took one bite from the cookie and threw it out, it was burned on the bottom. The next morning breakfast is only served from 8 – 9, we had a choice of french toast or scrambled eggs for the breakfast. My wife and I both chose the eggs. They were just two scrambled eggs served with bacon, and a piece of toast. It was just what is sounded like eggs and bacon nothing special about them. We did have a carafe of orange juice that gave each of us about a glass and a half but they never offered to refill it for us. Their website advertises an evening social time with appetizers and refreshments, when I asked about it I was told they weren’t doing them anymore. The only reason I gave the place 3 stars is because of how nice and relaxing the rooms are. The staff was nice but I wouldn’t have called them friendly and I don’t feel like I was being treated as a special guest. I have had better staff treatment at the Holiday Inns I stay in while traveling for work. We enjoyed our evening together but it really wasn’t because of the bed and breakfast. i don’t think we will be returning to the McBirney.
