    A little disappointed. Needs a LOT of work. Too many cobwebs. Spiders in the bathroom. Not exactly a gourmet breakfast. That said, the house is awesome to see, the history is very interesting and Hillie was great. I would have rather taken the tour than to stay there. You could spend many hours and not see all the details. I understand they are closing for the winter for more renovations. I sincerely hope they continue. It is an awesome home. It just needs a little more TLC.

    We are still talking about Rockcliffe Mansion and the Cruikshank family! Spent two nights in the Rose Chamber and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The house is not pristine but what it lacks in finished details it makes up for in authenticity. Original furniture, Tiffany chandeliers and stained glass, ten unique hand carved fireplaces and even original velvet and tapestry drapes and gilded wallpaper. The entire house was open to us and it felt like coming home every evening. Hilly, our hostess, was a great cook and the most wonderful story teller. If you want history this is the place to stay.

    My wife and stayed there recently and it was our first B&B, so we didn't really know what to expect. We were pleasantly suprised as we walked up those stairs to be greated by Sandy and Hillie(they even had a birthday cake waiting on me(tasted greated Hillie)). We were spoiled by Sandy who catered to our every need in this beautiful mansion. To say we are now hooked would be an understatement. The tour was nice too but it seemed read word for word out of their catalog, so I wouldn't purchase it till after the tour. Great job to Sandy on everything you did for us. The castle and the staff are a must see!!


    Wonderful

    We had a fantastic experience. We were a party of 2 couples and had rooms on the 3rd floor with a shared bath. The staff was especially nice and the breakfast was great. We loved sitting on the varanda drinking our coffee in the morning and visiting with another couple staying. Planning another trip in the fall - I expect that the color on the trees will be outstanding.


    Amazing in every way !

    My husband and I stayed in this amazing mansion this past weekend. We've stayed at many B&B's and I must say that this one has made quite a lasting impression. This is a 'must stay' for anyone with a passion for the history of beautifully preserved homes such as this one. Our hostess was so informative and definitely wow'd us! She took us up to the 'lookout' room and we went up to the roof with glasses of wine at sunset, and coffee at sunrise... the view was beautiful since it is the highest point in Hannibal and you can see the entire town as well as the river. We will definitely be back...
