Christmas Eve stay
Cute and comfortable inn stay on a beautiful plantation property that looks over the Virginia hills. The staff was warm and hospitable for a Christmas Eve day. The property has a manicured trail that we took our dog along that made for a leisurely stroll after our delicious breakfast that is included in the inn stay night costs.

Property was beautiful. Very well maintained. It was definitely historical and old but modernized in all of the right places. Staff was very friendly, informative, and helpful. Dinner was a bit expensive but worth it. Breakfast was nice but my wife's eggs tasted more like salt than eggs. They re-made them and they were much better. Server was very polite but we had to ask for things a couple of times. I think he was new and still learning but very pleasant and helpful. We would stay here again.

It's a very old historic property that comes with all related design issues. But it's wonderful to stay here in these surroundings. The beds are comfortable, the balconies are nice to relax on and enjoy the beauty that nature has to offer. The food was excellent! But I have to say that all the staff were wonderful and very, very attentive, even on such a busy weekend that we went. such a relaxing time in a beautiful building, with great food, and wonderstaff. Would definitely recommend.

The staff was very nice, however the dinner was not worth what we paid and our cottage had a musty smell. All in all glad i only booked one night.

Stayed in the groom's cottage. Met w/2 live wasps in our bathroom on check-in. Requested help from guest services. No response. In the morning there were 4 more live wasps in our cottage. Talked w/GMs at breakfast to let them know that wasps were getting in. We requested help again but were met with indifference. After 3 more hours of inaction and 4 more live wasps in the cottage, we had to press the GMs a 3rd time. They finally agreed to move us to another cottage but were unable to tell us when it would be available. In addition they never offered to assist us with moving our things. The overall attitude of the GM's was terrible. They were argumentative instead of apologetic. There was no communication unless we initiated it; and, even then, they would not respond or they would be frustratingly vague. We were made to feel entirely unwelcome. The experience was so uncomfortable that we chose not to stay for the second night despite not being offered a refund. Three years ago we stayed at Meander and had a lovely time. Apparently, these GM's are new (they said they had just taken over 2 weeks prior). Beware, the current service is extremely poor and the property has fallen into disrepair. Sadly, we will not be returning.
