Place is very clean and set up perfectly. They have accommodations for so many events or parties. The food that was prepared was all made with the best of love and skill. Would highly recommend if you are looking to visit the area you have to stay here you will not be disappointed.

I would give this place 10 stars if it was possible! Despite the proximity to the…read moreWilliamsburg/Yorktown/Jamestown area, this place really is a destination all on its own. The pictures online absolutely do NOT do it justice. Our family of 3 (2 adults and a teenager) spent EIGHT days at this B&B and the location was beyond expectation! This place is a nature lover's dream. We listened to red wing blackbirds, cardinals, and great crested flycatchers sing to us from the trees. A Momma turkey brought her line of tiny babies out to walk across the yard several days in a row. Little boxed turtles scuttled across the yard. Deer popped in and out, frolicking around the property throughout the day. We watched a bald eagle sit in the tree nearby. Fish would jump in the water, herons would dive in and kayakers and small fishing boats went floating by. The pool was beautiful and immaculately kept. We stayed in the two bedroom Roosevelt retreat. It was beautiful! Beds were incredibly comfortable and the rooms were very spacious. The shower had cascading upper showerheads and mid level jets (similar to a high end luxury spa I once visited in Arizona). There was a jetted tub, luxurious shower products, comfy robes and slippers. Rooms were made every day and we were left mints on our pillows. What we loved even more than the beautiful location was the owners themselves. Paige and Mark felt like family by the end of our stay (the kind of family you LIKE to spend time with). They were incredibly generous, thoughtful, and kind. We found ourselves lingering over breakfast with them because they were just such lovely people. They made suggestions on restaurants (including the half price fish and chips!), places to see, things to maybe avoid. Watching them in the kitchen was like having a personal chef for an amazing breakfast every single morning. Everything from eggs benedict, breakfast quesadillas to a traditional English breakfast - never the same thing twice. On our last day, Mark asked our son if he had any special requests and our son opted for a second round of Frank Sinatra's favorite breakfast sandwich (who knew - but it was AMAZING!). They even wrapped up our leftover breakfast food each day so we could snack on it later. They offered hot coffee and orange juice every morning. We also had access to coffee, tea and various tasty snacks throughout the day. I ate way too many yummy brownies and cookies, and my son inhaled Paige's banana muffins. She even made an extra batch so he could take some home on the day we left. This was Southern hospitality and high class luxury at it's finest. Everything about this place was top notch. It was actually HARD to leave because we loved Paige and Mark and their little slice of heaven so much. I cannot recommend this place enough!!

You have to take all your trash with you though. Like, they have NO trash cans there in Yorktown. That was seriously a PITA. The coordinator for the County is non-responsive and so hard to deal with. Both my sister-in-law and I felt the WORST part of our experience was the coordinator.

The feeling on being on a farm while next to the water is something you won't get anywhere else. The property is located a bit off the beaten path, and the nearby town is very quaint, with much to do, especially on the weekends. If Golf is your thing, the country club just a few minutes away offers a great round as well. (You can even get to it by boat!) I understand the property is used as a wedding venue in addition to being a vacation rental, but either way I would still highly recommend it as a spot to sit down and relax for a few days, or to stay longer if you have the opportunity!

This review is specifically for the annual Mother's Day brunch event. There are several seating…read moretimes, you need to call to reserve and it is prepay. Prices are very fair for what is offered. This event is popular and they squeeze a lot of tables and chairs in for it. We found it moderately difficult to walk around the seating area, a constant crowd was moving in and out as they refilled plates and finished dining. Staff seemed overwhelmed, and it was obvious watching they were trying hard to keep up with diners but they just couldn't. The brunch includes all you can drink champagne- getting that first glass took forever (same problem with coffee), getting refills was even more difficult. Food is set up buffet style, the main courses and sides in a separate room from diners. Dessert is set up in the room you eat. Traffic flow once you left the dining room wasn't bad at all, they set up the buffet as stations rather than one long table and that helped I am sure. They offered a wide variety of items from an omelet station to carved meats to typical breakfast and lunch sides. The chicken cordon blue and the fried chicken were particularly tasty. One thing that stood out was there were items offered that hadn't been on the event flyer. It was nice having some extra surprise choices! The pastry tables were superb. Everything we sampled (and we sampled a lot...) was delicious, from scones to cup cakes to mousse. There was a huge variety, including a chocolate fountain with all the fun dippers you'd want. We found this to be a value price wise, the food was delicious, I just wish it wasn't so crowded and hectic. It's probably worth doing again next year.

Wow, wow, WOW! What a fascinating place! So much history!…read more My friend and I went for a ghost tour on a Saturday night. The woman who ran our tour is named Sarah and she is a direct descendant of one of the original families that lived there. Also assisting with the tour was a man named Kenny from a paranormal research group in Richmond. Kenny considers himself a sceptic. His organization (I can't remember the name), works to document data, analyze the data, and try to come up with a scientific reason for the "paranormal" incidents. Both Sarah and Kenny have LOADS of knowledge! They shared a lot of history and stories with our small group. They also provided K2 meters that detect energy fluctuations. The stories were absolutely fascinating, first-hand, and some very recent (including with Kenny the sceptic). While we were finishing our tour, we heard a loud thunk on the wooden floor of the landing where we were, as if it had been struck with a boot or solid-heeled shoe. Then the floor was vibrating in a progressing manner as if someone was walking across the floor. One of the light-up cat toy balls on the floor was lighting up like crazy and several of the K2 meters were lighting up. So how about that?! A tour WITH paranormal activity! What a fun experience! I cannot wait to go back!

From the owner: Wrexham Hall is a historical venue in Chesterfield, Virginia. It has served many brides, families…read moreand businesses in Central Virginia for the decades. She has seen weddings, receptions, birthdays, proms, quenceneras, baby showers, bridal showers, engagement announcements, rehearsals, bridal shows, retirement parties, dinner parties, public and private Teas, Holiday parties, business meetings, celebrations of life, fund raising events and even political rallies.The house was originally built in 1770 by William Walthall and passed down to his daughters, Polly and Susannah (our purported ghost), then sold to a Doctor Anderson who extended the front of the house in the 1830s. Later, he sold it to a Doctor Friend who resided there when she would serve as a civil war hospital. Sold again, yet to another doctor, Dr. Thomas Cheatham, the house grew again to form a “T” shaped structure. After his death, the home would fall into severe disrepair only to be restored in the 1930s and named Wrexham. The Hague family lived there and maintained what became a “mansion” in the 1960s when it was added to once again. The new addition begged for an upgraded name, which is the now, Wrexham Hall. Sold to Judge Gates in the 1970s, he would sell it and have it moved to its current location. The last addition was made by the Brennan family, an event room that would serve many for years to come. Now owned by Greg and Carol Marion. She is still an event space as well as a Bed and Breakfast. Come Enjoy

When we drove up that little Mansion we could not believe our Eyes. Directly on the water in a magical setting...something we will never forget and definitely will revisit! We were greeted and got a tour that justified its history. We did have perfect weather conditions, so when we came back from dinner, we enjoyed ourselves for a little walk around the gardens and lake. The view from our balcony was stunning...you really have to pinch yourself...just making sure you're not dreaming...it made us feel happy as can be. The next morning...David prepared a beautiful spread of breakfast. Crab &Swiss cheese omelette, roasted Yukon potato, turkey bacon, country sausage, the bread basket had lavish varieties and customed as well towards my girl who has celiac disease with gluten free options, Room tempered butter, I think even the raspberry marmalade was homemade, fresh berries...I mean nothing was missing and it was put together with such care. Since we were the first of the season...David was able to join us. What a great morning we had thanks to him...thank you so very much!! A must see venue, that is highly recommended!
