great historic house, fantastic breakfast. Nice clean room, updated bathroom. The only regret was, that it is on a very busy, loud street.

Ideal base for visit to UVA

What a delightful find for our visit to tour UVA! Could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The room was just lovely, breakfast amazing, and the location just steps away from campus was perfect.

Highly recommend!

The manager was very helpful and accommodating with my request for an early check in due to bad weather. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and the room was beautiful. The king bed was huge and so comfortable. Lots of chairs and desk space in the room. Tv was easy to use and large. Views of the city were great. Shower was gorgeous. Staff and food at Farm Bell Kitchen were top notch!

Great B&B

We had the street level room. We really loved the room. It was easy to check in and out. They make everything so convenient. The breakfast was wonderful and so was the service. We like the location as well. Will go again!

Excellent location and very large roooms - somewhat loud at night from the road if you are on the front of the hotel (but it is a college town so that is expected). The rooms / hotel is a bit dated (could use some paint) but the linens are nice and beds comfortable. The breakfast is amazing and the staff is very accomodating. Parking is the easiest and best price in town! Would definitely stay here again.
