Before the first guests arrive, our dedicated staff works behind-the-scenes to prepare the estate for visitors. Around 6:00 a.m., our collections and architecture teams arrive at the Mansion. The collection team cleans each morning for aesthetic and conservation reasons, while the architecture team inspects the Mansion, assessing any changes and performing maintenance.
