Beautiful property. Great location. Room was fantastic. Could not want for anything. Every detail attended to. The Bellmen, the maid service and most of the wait staff could not have been nicer. The concierge seemed a little put out when asking questions. It was Tuesday and Wednesday so limited staff for dining

This hotel was in the heart of old town Williamsburg, but had the luxury and beauty and modern amenities than anybody would ever want. The parking was amazing. The staff was welcoming and so friendly and helped with anything and everything that we needed during our stay from afternoon, cocktails out on the Terrace to an amazing five star meal in their restaurant to a nice roll through their gardens and amazing room with a view of the golf course that was super comfortable and one of the biggest and most beautiful bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a hotel. I will definitely be going back.

Unique, charming, and clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant on property and both were delicious. There is a nice pool, and the back patio was fun for the kids, with cornhole and a giant chess set. Bonus points for the easy walk into colonial Williamsburg.

This elegant, historic Inn is perfect. The rooms are large and clean, the staff are friendly and professional, the on-site dining is delicious, and it's within walking distance from historic Colonial Williamsburg and just minutes away from Busch Gardens. We highly recommend!
