The outside of the manor is rather imposing with a large stone building and two immense guardian sculptures on the outside depicting mythical beasts. There are also small gardens to the left and right.  The main path itself is a cobbled one that only beckons visitors if they are worthy enough.

We are the guests of the queen on the way to the banquet. I hope we fair better than the last guests. I hope we keep our heads.
The outside of the manor is a tad imposing. Yes, sir.  The owner is a very imposing man that wanted to reflect that in his home.  Can I get you any refreshment? That sounds excellent, I am currently on the way to the queens banquet but I am rather parched. I have a lemonade here if you would like a glass.  Do you need help finding your way to the banquet? I would love a glass, this is my first time to this manor in particular, so I could certainly use an escort. Excellent.  Are you the guest of honor? One of them yes, my family and the queens have a history together. I am so sorry.  I feel nervous being in the presence of someone so important. There is no need to fret, I am not as uppity as some. These statues are quite fascinating though. It is my duty to keep them clean.  They represent all of the forefathers of my master. And they chose to depict them as mythical beasts, how different. Yes, it is the spirit being depicted.  This family is very mysterious and very ancient.
