The Graylyn Estate

We recently stayed at Graylyn Estates to celebrate our anniversary. I had visited years earlier on a business retreat so I was familiar with the property.||We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The staff, restaurants and other amenities are all top notch. The food and drinks were excellent. ||We enjoyed taking walks on the manicured grounds every day and we enjoyed the complimentary fresh baked cookies and ice cream. The property is also pet friendly.||I highly recommend Grayln for a weekend getaway or a special celebration. They go above and beyond to ensure their guests have a memorable stay.

Just had friends stay at Graylen . The Mews room was very could and after maintenance came they could not fit the problema. We requested a room in th Manor House, much nice than the Mews. The thermostat in the Manor House also had problems. Housekeeping was also unpredictable. Came in and left one chocolate while there were two in room. Did not fix their bed. Worse of all was the dinner. Scallops with risotto very salty. Three of us had to return this dish. The waitress was very good offering to redo entree. Second plate was better but stilll salty and scallops should have been grilled. I will think twice before recommending Graylen. The property is beautiful and I sincerely hope these issues will be addressed. My friend said this was the worse meal she has had.

Property itself is in a convenient location. Absolutely amazing and beautiful place. The area around the property extends it even more. Very walkable. Jessica in the restaurant was amazing and offered wonderful service. My husband loved his meal, steak and potatoes, his always go to meal, and it was prepared perfectly. My meal was pasta, I would not get it again unfortunately. It would have been nice to not have been seated right beside a table that was quite loud, especially since restaurant was not fully booked at our time of sitting. I believe the price for the hotel itself was a bit overpriced but if that is what it takes to keep a place this beautiful open, it was worth it. I will say their staff was not overly friendly, but they were professional enough.

We were attending a wedding graylyn Estates and this was the location for the rehearsal dinner. We had such a beautiful suite. We enjoyed walking around the grounds, which are breathtaking. The rooms are well appointed, and the service is excellent. We stayed for two days and enjoyed breakfast at the restaurant which is not to be missed. We will definitely return.

Graylyn estate is a beautiful place for your next getaway! From the moment we drove through the front gates and saw the green gentle rolling hills and stately manor house with cobbled driveway we were enthralled! There are many options of accommodations on this property. We chose to stay in the Manor House and needed accommodations for three people. We were on the 3rd floor which was more modern. We loved our room and the window seat with curved window looked over the courtyard which was beautiful. The second floor rooms were more in keeping with the time period of the formal estate. There were so many charming areas to explore in the manor house. The spiral staircase was stunning! The lobby, card room, formal sitting rooms, dining areas and downstairs lounge and billiard room made it possible for everyone in our group to find a place to reconnect whether it was to chat, visit or read and relax. We especially enjoyed the back courtyard with koi pond. The daily butterscotch cookies were baked when requested and access to free ice cream in the ice cream room were treats that added to the charm. Walking down to the mews was a quick and pleasant walk and bicycles are available to ride throughout the estate. We also enjoyed a short walk just across the street to the Reynolda arboretum. It was a charming and relaxing weekend where we “stepped back in time” to an elegant and pampered retreat! It reminded us of a recent trip to the Cotswolds! ||Can’t wait to return!

Even though I was there on a business trip this was one of the best experiences of my life. The laughs, knowledge, hospitality, food and the team there was just amazing. When I say it was and experience it truly was. From the amazing welcome to checking out I can not say enough about the staff and how they go above and beyond to make sure the guest have the best experience, knowledge of the Estate and laughs and don't get me started on the free icecream...Thank you Grayland Estates for the most amazing time.

My daughter chose this place for their wedding venue and I, along with all our guests, were thoroughly impressed by this place. Obviously, the place is gorgeous and beautiful and the manor has a very castle-like atmosphere that left the newlyweds feeling truly like a Prince & Princess. The food served was outstandingly delicious that the guests went back for seconds and I didn’t stop hearing from everyone about “the bomb” mojitos. What really put the icing on the cake was the service. Everyone was ready to serve, never having to wave someone down, and they brought the southern charm in the most classy way. A special shout out to one of our event servers, April! She deserves the utmost praise and I received so many compliments of how awesome she was. She really treated us like family and was hilarious!

The Graylyn Estate was the perfect setting for our semi-annual 3-day business meetings! The grounds are stunning, the cottages are charming, and the meeting room was one of the best we’ve ever used. The hospitality was incredible, Kaitlyn handled last-minute changes with a smile, the food was delicious, and yes—the ice cream was a huge hit! I highly recommend Graylyn Estates for business gatherings or even a local staycation—it’s worth every penny.
