    Tea time
    Igor B.

    Belle Grove Plantation is a hidden gem and I have been fortunate enough to have found it. The owner/host (Michelle), a former military, is straight to the point - trying hard to make all your wishes come true. I do not have any complaints and even if I would have it, they would be pale when compared with a rich experience I had at Belle Grove. Setting my plan in place was easy and Michelle was super accommodating to assure that I get what I want. First stop was the afternoon tea. Wonderful location at portico, gorgeous table set up and quality tea with good finger food and sweets begs to be repeated. After tea, attending a tour of the historic house is must. There is a lot of interesting information that the tour can offer. It gives you additional air of importance. Dinner has exceeded the expectations. It was held on portico balcony with the river view. Food was prepared as if in high rating Michelin restaurant. The personal care was evident in the table set up, quiet check ups and excellent food quality and presentation. The plantation owner is taking great care of the property. I have noticed the landscapers discussing how to create the best view of the river. The rooms are very specious and luckily the bathrooms are 21st century upkeep with the soaking tub. The mattress was perfect and definitely big upgrade from a standard hotel quality. The breakfast was served outside, so that was a third meal in the tow eaten with the river view. It was a hearty egg and bacon sandwich with arugula and roasted peaches, that will set you up for another great day.

    I was so looking forward to the tea today. While the food was good and the tour excellent, I was saddened to hear the miscommunication my friend experienced about the cancellation policy. My friend was left to pay the bill for 3 people who could not attend. One who needed to be coach for a delivery while the spouse is deployed. Please make sure if you need to cancel, you have the policy in writing

    Another view of the amazing tea service set by Belle Grove.

    I cannot say enough about how wonderful the folks from Belle Grove are to work with and how lovely they have made Belle Grove over the last several years. Michelle was so attentive and pleasant arranging everything necessary for my daughter's birthday Tea. Belle Grove is a local treasure.

The proprietors, Jennifer and Greg, were wonderful to work with and accommodated our special requests to help make our wedding everything we had dreamed of. The appetizers, dinner, and specialty cocktails were all beautifully prepared and received rave reviews from our guests. Those who stayed in the inn and apartments commented on the charming accommodations and especially appreciated the comfortable beds. We fell in love with the home's stunning architecture and antique furnishings, which blend seamlessly with modern comforts and amenities. Our international guests were particularly enchanted by the house, saying that this more than 100-year-old Virginia home was exactly what they had imagined when picturing the historic beauty and charm of Virginia. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting for our wedding celebration and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, elegant, and memorable venue.

I booked my stay in the New York Suite 8 months in advance, and was so pleased to be welcome back as a VIP platinum guest. I had a lovely custom tailored gift basket awaiting me on my very comfortable bed upon arrival. The activities provided included, but were not limited to, a pontoon boat with its own captain as well as a naturalist on board to provide commentary on the local flora and fauna. How magical it was to see 2 blue heron's as well as geese and Hawks! And Hudson the labradoodle is no longer a pup. He is a charmingly well behaved two-year-old dog! Our dining options were simply delicious! Whether it was homemade breakfast with biscuits or an afternoon barbecue while watching the Redskins football game, it was all topped off with Smore's at the fire pit with a view of the lake at sunset. I cannot wait to return to this little slice of heaven in Lake Caroline Virginia!

I feel so strongly about sharing my recommendation to stay here that this is my first-ever (and possibly only) Yelp review. The rooms, property, restaurant quality food, and service were impeccable. Sherry, Ridge, and Sara are so kind and will go above and beyond to ensure you have the best stay, even communicating months in advance to see if we had any requests. The unlimited ice cream and snack bars, speakeasy and all-seasons room were our favorite amenities, but the list is plentiful. Our room had a private patio with firepit, heated bathroom floors, a soaking tub, and so much more. It was beyond clean and comfortable! The icing on the cake: they are pet-friendly, and even provided organic dog treats to our corgi. We came in March for my birthday (they gave me flowers, a note, and a gift) and are already planning a trip back in the summer to utilize the heated pool, kayaks, bikes, and other outdoor activities. A must-see for a relaxing getaway or event, just a short drive to the charming town of Mathews. Thank you to our hosts for a fantastic weekend!

I had no idea how a seemingly perfect place could get even better. From the gorgeous rooms to the little touches(hello amazing local ice cream selection!!!) The Inn outdoes itself on every turn.

My Girlfriend and I look forward to visiting the Inn at Tabbs Creek for years to come.

This B&B is a Gem!!! We stayed in the Shannaberry room from 7/22-7/24/17. Jenny is a wonderful innkeeper. The grounds are very well kept and nice. The bed and breakfast was so pretty. Our room was beautiful, tastefully decorated with a four poster bed, soaking tub, double sink and separate shower. After a day of sightseeing, to be able to take a relaxing hot bath in the soaking tub was wonderful. As were the bed and sheets - they were heavenly!!! So soft!! The morning breakfasts were delicious. I am gluten intolerant and there was a gluten free breakfast and a 'gluten' breakfast for my husband. Breakfast was so much food that we skipped lunch both days and just had a snack in the afternoon as we were still full from breakfast. Jenny made suggestions for dinner and gave us a locals view on where was good to eat, pricing, and who was open for lunch and/or dinner. We will definitely be back!!

    The Inn at Little Washington lost its third Michelin star in the 2025. The timing coincided with…read moreVirginia's state tourism office declining to pay a reported ~$360,000 fee to expand Michelin coverage into more of the state. Others see it as part of a wider "reset" affecting other longtime three-star spots like Alinea (Chicago) and Masa (New York), which also dropped to two stars at the same time. I'm not completely sure why the slight decline but here's my honest view. The scenic drive from DC through the Virginia countryside sounds breathtaking--rolling hills, charming small towns, glimpses of Blue Ridge Mountains but in actuality all of the turns and hills made myself and friend sick. We had to pull over and gather ourselves. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, filled with artwork, pink, green and gold monkey wallpaper and Victorian tables, and English country style. It's maximalist--opulent without being stuffy. Our waitstaff made the evening extra special for my birthday. They constantly wished me a happy birthday, asked thoughtful questions about my life, shared jokes, and engaged in small talk that felt genuine and personal. Not to mention the menu with my name. Each course on the 7-course tasting menu was beautifully presented. We loved having three menu options to choose from: a new seasonal tasting (always fresh and surprising), Enduring Classics (with signature dishes like the iconic lobster preparations or herb-crusted favorites), and a full vegetarian Good Earth menu with the eggplant course being our favorite. The unlimited warm bread service with fresh butter and flaky sea salt was a simple but perfect touch. The Champagne options were endless (their wine list is legendary, with a massive cellar and expert sommeliers), and they even offered a dedicated book/menu highlighting rare waters from around the world--everything from iceberg sources to unique mineral springs. I've never seen a water book before. Standouts for me was the caviar egg, lamb main course and tomato amuse-bouche. If you're looking for a special occasion spot (birthday, anniversary, or just because), this is it. Four people will run you around $2500 including drinks. Con- I would work on the cocktail menu (the Diana tasted like cough medicine). Bring back the pear dessert and portion sizes from 12 years ago. My main lamb portion was embarrassing. Reviewers see pictures for example sizes. Please offer a dedicated pescatarian menu. Overall, Chef Patrick O'Connell and his team did a great job.

We've been lucky enough to dine at a few Michelin star and bib gourmand restaurants ton include some coveted 3 star spots! A few weeks before our res, we saw the Inn was downgraded from 3 to 2 stars and unfortunately, I can see why from this visit. For context, this visit was $1500 for the 2 of us and included one wine pairing and the cheese cow. At that price point, I would say the meal and experience were not worth it. The food: the food was both great and okay. There are a few dishes that are extremely exciting. I had the vegetarian menu, while my husband had the classics. The egg, carpaccio, eggplant, and cheese cow were the stars. Everything else was good, but not outstanding. Pineapple and Pearls (another Michelin restaurant in DC) offers a more exciting menu at about the same price. The service: this is where the loss of a star became annoyingly apparent to me. It might seem bratty, but for $1500 and a Michelin spot, you expect a napkin folded when you get back from the bathroom and adequate spacing between courses. My husband noted he felt the meal was rushed. For one dish, they brought me the wrong silverware and at the end of the meal, they forgot the coffees we ordered and our takeaway gift (little chocolates in a cutesy paper house). They also asked if we wanted time with our cocktails before the meal began and we said yes, but they brought us the cocktail, wine pairing, and first course all at once. The staff is so kind and awesome! I don't want to take away from how welcoming and nice everyone was. The service itself just lacked *at a Michelin star level*. If I was paying, say, $500 instead of $1500, I would be thrilled with the meal! The ambiance is very cool and true to the brand of The Inn. When you leave the bathroom, you'll see all of the historic guests who have eaten out of Patrick O'Connell's kitchen and it feels a bit surreal. The famous chef did his rounds of the dining room, which frankly was the highlight of the night. He's an absolute legend. Okay, that was a long one. To The Inn, I'm sorry! I wish we could say everything was perfection. I know you'll work out the kinks!
