Soundview Manor Bed & Breakfast

At a moment's notice, my sister and I needed a place to stay close to Scarsdale. By a twist of fate, we were told about Soundview Manor which turned out to be our port in the storm. Doris and her staff took us in like family. The home is a masterpiece, elegant and warm. Our room was cozy and spacious at the same time. Everyone there was delightful and eager to please and the location proved perfect, accessible to connecting roads yet in a very private and beautiful setting. We are now sold on B&Bs and will start our search for the next place we need to stay on this site and avoid hotels wherever possible.

We had a very pleasent stay with Ms. Dee's remarkable hospitality. Being from Japan, I appreciate her enourmous efforts to preserve this historic gem.

I came from Holland for a two-month business and pleasure stay at the historic Soundview Manor B&B in White Plains, NY, which has been completely wonderful. I truly enjoyed the experience during my entire stay. Hosts and staff were helpful in every way. My beautiful room overlooking the rear gardens made me feel very comfortable. Never a dull moment with everything Westchester County has to offer. Great restaurants, shopping malls, golf courses, museums and much more, with a quick ride to NYC for my day trips. Definitely a place to return to! Mandisa Oosterling

What a pleasure to find such a warm, welcoming and accomodating place to stay so close to business district. The people went out of their way to make sure all of our needs were met and the charming atmosphere made for a most lovely weekend!

Wonderful experience in a marvelous old mansion. Fantastic! Stayed there just a night in a hectic trip. Huge relief over the chain hotels. Marvelous place and staff. French restaurant was by as well. All good!

This inn is one of the best we have stayed. Hosts Ellen and Simon were wonderful hosts.

Great ambiance, beautiful grounds, very gracious hosts - I would recommend this B&B to anyone.

Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay in the area. Very warm reception during my stay.

Very charming and convenient location. Extremely gracious hosts.

A magnificent estate, perfectly cared for and wonderfully spirited. The peace and perfect state of this home fill your very soul with calm and joy. I will return for more.

Lovely, historic home - beautifully maintained and incredibly accommodating.

Recently stayed at Soundview Manor; the staff could not have been more accommodating, and the top floor suite was gigantic, with lovely views of the stately lawn. The mansion, in all of its faded glory, made me feel like I had stepped back into a more elegant time.

What a treat it was to build a crackling fire upon returning to our spacious penthouse suite after an amazing party. The next morning astounded to see deer and a commanding view of the Long Island sound on this 4.5 acre estate so close to New York. Beautifully appointed. We totally enjoyed our stay and our time with Pioneer Feminist Attorney and Innkeeper Ms Dee and ultra-courteous staffpersons Ellen, Jacinta and Simon. David - Hatfield, Massachusetts.

My husband and I stayed in the penthouse for one night this winter. After joining friends for the evening, we returned to Soundview Manor and made a fire in the fireplace. In the morning, we viewed the sound from the french doors leading to a wide open balcony. Having a kitchen was nice and the fresh cherries were very thoughtful. We had a wonderful stay.

I love this historic house! I would love to return and visit again!

It's as if the founders didn't go far enough in naming this beautiful place, for, in addition to sound and sight, Soundview delights the senses of touch, taste, and smell, too. Yet the sixth sense -- hospitality -- shines most brightly.

This is a beautifully decorated home with a very friendly hostess. We were warmly greeted. This was a quick overnight as I was visiting my daughter at Sarah Lawrence and on a tight schedule. I wish it had been more relaxed with time to wander the beautiful grounds. Maybe next time...

This is an incredible B&B. Oh if this mansion could talk. Splendid accomidations at an affordable rate. The Manor is even more charming with the wonderful friendly hostess Ms D. Attention to every detail!!! I will stay there again on my next visit to Westchester County.

This place is located close to NCNY shopping and churches and provides an elegant place in which to put up out-of-town guests.

Colorful plates, hardwood floors, and loving innkeepers make for a wonderful experience.

wonderful hospitality

Felt very comfortable; the era and surroundings made me feel at home and that I was born in the wrong era of today! Felt like home away from home!

Charming, just charming!!

The definition of a luxurious B&B. Unmatched hospitality in a historic and elegant setting. A truly unique estate!

We will definitely recommend to all of our friends and family.

July 23, 2008 Thanks for such a unique experience! What a great adventure.

There can be no doubt that when you arrange for a stay at this stately manor, you will be happy you did so. The home is a stunning example of an early 1920s era mansion in this old City. The fact that this home and the grounds about it still exist is a tribute to the charming hostess, Ms. Dee. She, likeswise, is a jewel. It is the rare find for anyone looking for an enjoyable stay in this part of Westchester. Don't pass up the opportunity.

Just 35 minutes from Manhattan, this gem is worth your while. The owner, staff and beauty of the surroundings are unbeatable.

Had a wonderful stay and will definitely come again. Easy access to train and quick ride into the city.

Soundview Manor has wonderful charm and elegance.The ambiance of this B&B is so very special. Each room done with impeccable details. Peaceful,clean with lovely beautiful gardens and folliage. 5 Star Service(from Ms Dee and her kind staff), along with 5 star atmosphere and accomidations! Put this visit as a MUST STAY on your list. I loved it. I'm planning a return visit very soon! I can almost smell the fresh baked banana bread coming from their kitchen.
