I would give The Duke mansion a "5 star" rating if every traveler was just like me - able to sleep through anything. But since the Mansion is more than just a B&B...it is a living, breathing conference/wedding/meeting place, it can be noisy. Other than that, it is delightful and sumptuous. The breakfasts in the morning are wonderful and elegantly prepared. The whole neighborhood is exquisite and you feel as if you're being pampered the second you drive into the area and see all the old, gorgeous mansions and manicured lawns. It's a pleasure to be a part of such a piece of history, but if you're a light sleeper, think twice!
