You should know first and foremost, I'm an extremely flexible person so whether this place was…read morebustling with adults, children, and dogs or had the silence of a Buddhist temple, I would be able to adjust and be happy. That said, the weekend we stayed was very quiet and I think only one or two other people were guests, who we barely even saw. This suited me perfectly since this weekend in particular, I intended to focus on rest and solitude. We felt as if we had the entire grounds to ourselves. I'm an estate/antiques broker, so I would offer that my preference is to stay at historic buildings in general so my review is colored by that preference: I spend quite a while taking photographs of the antiques and other items just for my own enjoyment, which is what I did on this occasion. There is a foyer, and several rooms for leisure. One can imagine themselves reading quietly alone in the sitting room or having conversation with other guests, discussing the impressive Christmas Village collection. The enclosed patio provides a small refrigerator and a variety of games and puzzles. I notified the owner that I would buy the vintage bamboo etagere if she ever tires of it. Freshly baked cookies are waiting for you, individually wrapped, in the foyer. They're soft not crunchy, as most cookies should be. We stayed in the Magnolia room, which provided a King bed, sofa, fireplace, spacious closet area, private bath, and access to the patio and property. It is also located off the dining area so perhaps at busier times, if you're not an early riser, this is not the bedroom for you in case other guests are up having breakfast. I'm up at 5:30 so you have to be on your game to interrupt me. The owners placed locally-made soap in the bathroom. It's always a nice touch to see local businesses supporting other local businesses. I was very impressed by the owner's and innkeeper's willingness to provide gluten and sugar-free options for me. The innkeeper is a professional chef who has appeared on the Food Network several times. We enjoyed chatting with them and purchased their cook book, a charming collection of recipes, including allergy-friendly selections. I had been looking for a recipe for gluten-free Goldfish for my son and it just so happens it was included in the collection--what a magical surprise! We enjoyed chatting with one of the owners, Renee, who is in the antiques business herself. She owns a shop not too far from the bed and breakfast which I'm certain you'd enjoy visiting. We didn't have the opportunity, but it's on the to-do list. The dining area provides snacks and beverages at all times: coffee and cocoa, water, candy, cereals, yogurt, fruit, and other snacks. This is convenient especially when traveling with a child (or a hangry husband). I enjoy being out of doors and so does my son, but fair warning, it is the South, so the mosquitoes and other biting insects are plentiful. There is a lovely magnolia tree right outside the patio door and a variety of pleasant floral scents. Take your coffee out one morning and enjoy the quiet. A stroll around the neighborhood will inform you that you're within walking distance of a charming little park and several churches, among other businesses and interesting old homes. I took pleasure in chatting with several neighbors who were out early Sunday morning. The value is extraordinary for the experience. It's less than $300 for a 3 night stay in a suite. That's incredible. You could take a friend and spend a girl's getaway weekend for next to nothing. I look forward to what the property has in store and I'll be back.

My wife and I are seasoned travelers and have stayed at many hotels and B&Bs. We recently spent 2…read morenights at Longacre. The property is very beautiful and everything the website pictures represent. This was an anniversary trip and I must begin by saying that Lara was gracious and had flowers and a bottle wine as a welcome gift in our room. We were, however, disappointed for several reasons, including some genuine safety concerns. We stayed in the Magnolia room, which according to the website is "located off the breakfast room." What is not made clear is that the door to the room opens directly to the breakfast room. There is no hall, no alcove, no buffer at all. The door is very thin. We could hear every conversation there, which means they could hear us. Translation - no privacy. From the breakfast room, when you open the doors to the Magnolia Room, immediately there are 3 steps down with no railing, no safety grips or anything else. Carrying luggage, both of us missed the last step and nearly fell. Since the steps are the same color as the floor there should be a safety strip at least on the bottom step. Do not sit on the chairs. The cushions are not fastened to the frame. They both had severe indentations so we were concerned that they would cave in at any moment. While the term "deluxe" is subjective, the continental breakfast could hardly be classified as such. Cold cereal and English muffins don't really cut it. It certainly did not measure up to any B&B we have stayed at before. Those had outstanding breakfast with many homemade items and a different menu each day. We opted to go to a local restaurant - country cooking and quite nice. The website notes "Innkeeper lives on property and is available but leaves our guests to enjoy their privacy." Translation: your room will remain untouched during your stay. While this is noted in the instruction book waiting IN THE ROOM, that's a bit late to know about this rule. Again, never have we experienced this at any other property we visited. Further, we were advised in a phone call the day of arrival that the innkeeper would not be there on our first day. Most distressing, when I questioned the innkeeper about the lack of room cleaning, I was informed that Longacre "is not a hotel." Funny, we always thought that not being a hotel should be a selling feature. There is no question that Longacre has the potential to be an outstanding B&B. Key word - potential. It's not there yet.

Free parking is available within steps of the hotel and no need for valet service (unless you want it). I also highly recommend the Skyline restaurant on the top floor for good food and superior service. My only negative, and this is not about the hotel, is that Lynchburg seems to be a dying town (and least in the area of the hotel). I never felt unsafe while walking around (the Lower Bluff Walk is nice), but on a Monday afternoon it felt like a ghost town. Nevertheless, if I'm ever again in Lynchburg I would stay here again.

That location is at a lower level. Either location was perfect to eat or drink. We had great service and excellent decor at both. Fish and Chips was one of meals enjoyed on the roof top restaurant , the meal tasted so good it was like it jumped from the water up to that height. The other two had Harvest Salad one with the chicken and I had the grilled shrimp. All I can say it was delicious, nothing left on either plate!

The building is beautiful. I did not encounter huge problems with noise but there was certainly some from the nearby railroad. The hotel made a point of calling me before I came and offering a generally high level of service. I wanted to give them five stars, but a few too many things just weren't right. Overly slippery bathroom floors, thin blankets that didn't offer much warmth, some bathroom fixtures that didn't work, my mobile key didn't work for some reason. There is one elevator that isn't particularly speedy. Then again, the lobby is a place you'd want to hang around. Their breakfast is a continental style with muffin and yogurt, delivered in a branded shoebox (they offer a GF option, but not vegan).

Owners Mike and Kathy were welcoming as could be, and made sure our stay was enjoyable as could be. They even went to the lengths of leaving helpful info and the following day's breakfast menu on our bed each evening. The rooms are not only clean and welcoming, but remain in period decor, thankfully with working AC and functional bathrooms :) Breakfast was beyond fabulous- Kathy prepared juices, coffee, yogurt, fruit creations, and a scrumptious French toast croissant with warm green apple slices. To say this place was "quaint and nice" would be doing The Carriage House a great disservice; rather, it is a classy and serene locale, with plenty to do within a 20-minute drive! I would without a doubt recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic getaway with plenty to do aside from enjoying the country life. To do locally: wineries, rafting, tubing, outdoor year-round skiing, museums, visit Jefferson's other home, bike, hike, dine out, etc. Came with a package deal from LivingSocial.com - and am thrilled I picked this "escape package" - worth every penny.

I checked it and it is still this way which did worry me a bit, but there's also a lock and latch on our room door.
