An absolutely lovely stay. A treat to stay in this historic inn. Very quiet, lovely room, great bed and a nice breakfast at the Farm Bell Kitchen. Tea and coffee always available with a nice touch to offer wine for sale as well. Easy walk to the campus and to get around the Charlottesville area. I’d definitely stay again.

We recently stayed at the Dinsmore Inn and had a wonderful experience! The historic charm of the hotel was perfectly balanced with modern amenities, making for a truly unique and comfortable stay. The room, Jefferson 8, was spacious and had plenty of room for the two of us. The bed was a highlight - the mattress and pillows were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The shower was fantastic, and we appreciated the abundance of towels. But what really made our stay stand out was the exceptional service. Jake was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay special. He even arranged for a delicious "to-go" breakfast, complete with muffins that were truly to die for! The hotel's location was also perfect, being just a short walk from UVA and several great restaurants. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with our stay and would highly recommend the Dinsmore Inn to anyone looking for a blend of history, comfort, and excellent service.
