We had to walk past one of the main dining rooms to get to our room upstairs but keep in mind it is a very old and historic inn. We had the Shearer room and it was very clean and welcoming. There is a gas fireplace when you walk in and it was putting out the heat! Then we walked back into the bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. The sheets were soft and bed was nice. There is no TV but there is Wi-Fi. All in all we had a good experience. The breakfast was delicious! I had the pancakes and the bacon which both were excellent.

We stayed here for our wedding anniversary and we had an amazing experience from start to finish…read more Booking online was incredibly easy, the reminders via email and text message were super informative, and I was able to reserve our place for the Sunday supper series over the phone. Our room was quiet, clean, and the amenities were just what we needed for the weekend getaway. Daniel--the manager--worked with me to surprise my wife with a bottle of sparkling wine that was chilled in the room and a vase of stunning fall flowers. The food at the inn was amazing, fresh, and I only wish we would have also eaten here Saturday night! We enjoyed breakfast both mornings and had dinner Sunday night. During breakfast, they have many choices (all included) and we chose to try the omelet, the sausage gravy, and the eggs Benedict. There were also choices for French toast, a farmers breakfast, and they had gluten free options as well when asked. For dinner, because it was on Sunday it was the supper series that gives a three course option with the main choices being fried chicken or pork bbq. The location of this inn is ideal--a short drive from Richmond, northern Virginia, or Charlottesville. This makes it an easy getaway from the hustle of the city, but also not a super long journey. The inn is also a short distance from many wineries and historical sites. We will be back!

What can we say that hasn't already been said about this place? Not much, its reputation precedes…read moreit! We swooped in for a last minute getaway for our 25th anniversary--never having known about this area of Virginia--and came away totally stunned with The Shenandoah Valley and its surroundings. We used AI to find this place, and to our delight, Glen Gordon Manor is a treasure that will forever live in our memories. The manor has been under current ownership for about twenty years, and the chef/owner Dayn Smith lives onsite upstairs in the manor, along with this wife Nancy, who did the decorating for the manor. Maddie was a total sweetheart to us upon arrival (and any place we're greeted with a glass of bubbly earns a special place at the top of our list). We stayed 3 nights at Glen Gordon Manor (Sunday - Wednesday) in the Mews Cottage in the Fyvie room (there are a handful of rooms in this cottage). Fyvie was well-appointed and immediately comfortable. The small porch was a spot where we whiled away many hours (both morning and evening). The coffee delivery from the manor each morning was always so nice! If you've read ANY of the reviews here, you'll know that each room is outfitted with a multi-speaker SONOS system which was so clutch! Breakfasts served inside the manor were so delicious, and so filling! Each morning was something a little different--but the formula the same--usually beginning with a bread or scone, followed by honey-sweetened Greek yogurt with granola, and then the main which always featured a farm-fresh egg presumably from the chickens we gazed upon during breakfast. We couldn't sit still long enough to enjoy the beautiful pool during our visit, even though the weather was perfect for it. We spent quite a bit of our time visiting downtown Front Royal and even more time on Skyline Drive doing some hiking! For one of our hikes, we took advantage of the manor's offering of a packaged picnic lunch, and simply loved it. We enjoyed a five-course meal at the very sophisticated Houndstooth Restaurant in the manor, and were totally awestruck. We spent a lot of time trying to decide which dish was our favorite, arriving at a decision of "inconclusive" because they were all flawless. At the end of our incredible dining experience, the chef himself came into the dining room and spent a few moments at each table--what a treat! I overheard another guest comment that the manor has Pappy Van Winkle, why should I be surprised at that?! Wow! The only recommendation we could make (which has nothing at all to do with the Manor) is, try to plan your visit here on a Wednesay-Sunday ... we found that many of the vineyards were not open Mondays or Tuesdays ... and let's face it, this part of the region is wine country so the vineyards are a must! We visited Rappahannock vineyard, which was right up the street. Not disappointed at all!

What a shame that we couldn't stay longer and enjoy the property and surroundings! Kendra was lovely and accommodated our need to leave earlier than the normal breakfast serving time. The bed was comfy, but I would have preferred better room-darkening shades. Also, the shampoo and conditioner were teeny-tiny-- completely impossible for two people. And no body lotion at all??! Grateful for the Tollhouse Cookies and other little treats!

Same with a tailgate tent for the dj for outside. We paid for wine service and only after asking for it did they do half our tables. The rooms are old and the main manor smells like it. The main room in the stables had no cold water in the kitchen sink and the ice maker didn't work. You can lotion your body 12 Times but there was no soap to wash your hands. The wedding and reception was well run and we had to switch to inside. The coordinator told us grandparents won't be escorted to seats but they set the grooms but not the brides! Really. The coordinator made no effort to find the parents before the cake cutting or the last dance. Or even the exit. And there were three we told would be everywhere. The front entrance looked like a horse pasture with dead grass and weeds. We were told that would be replaced. Nope. Pathetic first impression. The communication was terrible. Only after aggressive attempts at contact do they reply. The wedding coordinator was very helpful and necessary. The "sales girl" treated us like unwelcome guests the day of the wedding saying nothing as she walked by and was snarky when she did talk to my wife. They tried to extort a rehearsal dinner fee for the entire wedding guest amount when less then 40% were coming to the rehearsal. You pay for the weekend and they want money to let you eat after the rehearsal. The owners just seem to be looking for a payday. Nice location good food great place to have a wedding. Be careful with the staff and service. The staff changed about 3 times from booking. They give you a wrong WiFi code then go radio silent to get correct one. They knew our experience had been less than happy yet they make no effort at a last impression other than another bad one.

The grounds where the inn resides are beautiful. You need to keep your eyes open for the driveway…read moreup to the inn because you can miss it, especially at night. The sign is not lit at night so you have to make sure you are not only paying attention to the road but also looking out for the drive. We had our GPS guiding us and we still missed it. The inn is a 10-bedroom home that has been converted into a hotel/inn. We arrived while the staff was out but we were able to contact them by phone and get access to the inn. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We were given a friendly tour of the home and a nice glass of wine. A little bit about the inn. It was built in the 1850s and served as a hospital during the Civil War. There are horse stables nearby and plenty of outdoor places to sit and enjoy the scenery. A Civil War hospital? I had the same thoughts that are going through your head right now. I get into the inhabitants of the estate a little later. We stayed in the Fox and the Grape, a private room with it's own private entrance which what I gather is a converted basement. It is a very large room, beautifully decorated, a large bathroom and a small kitchen including a small range if you get the urge to cook something. We arrived on a cold night. We quickly realized we had no thermostat to control in the room thusly had to ask the manager to turn on the heat. He kindly obliged but I will warn you, it gets quite warm and it is a bit noisy. There is no television in the room so you'll have to entertain yourselves like sharing sweet nothings with your loved one, talking about your feelings and sharing your deepest darkest secrets. We did have problem with flies. No telling why but I think we killed about 10 the 1st night. We did bring up the fly problem to the manager the next morning and he promptly sent out an exterminator. Unfortunately, we did find a few more flies the 2nd night but not quite as many as the first. Also, we had an interesting experience with the hot water. It seems if they are running a wash in another part of the inn you will first get hot water in the shower that quickly turns ice cold. I did learn that the inn is allegedly inhabited by 4 ghosts. I say allegedly because we did not have any experiences but there are accounts over the years of others that have. One ghost is of a woman possibly a nurse that whispers in mens ears. Another that dances in the halls outside of the rooms. One ghost stays in the Burgundy Room and likes to leave an impression in the bed and the last ghost apparently doesn't like Christmas trees and has been known to knock them over. They will be going through a renovation soon in 2021 and will shut down during that time. We did see the pictures of the planned renovation and it looks to be quite the upgrade but without losing it's charm. Overall, we had a decent stay at the Black Horse Inn.

There were 3 nicely sized rooms with comfy queen beds and 2 full baths. The decor in every single room was adorable and my friends all loved it, no matter the room we slept in. We really appreciated the small touches like the coffee station, cocktail set, and lots of comfy throw blankets provided! It was cold when we visited, but the backyard had the best patio and fire pit set up too! Our host/the owner was also so kind and helpful. Definitely recommend this place for the price compared to the other rentals in town!!

I love that they grow so much on their land and use such fresh ingredients. The employees are incredibly helpful and nice. The buildings and rooms quaint and nice. The property is truly a treasure. I was sad to see only one swan there this year. I'm not sure if the others passed away but I'd think they would at least have a pair and hope the swan isn't lonely. I saw so much beautiful wildlife and I always feel so much more peaceful when I'm on this property. I don't know if I'll make it back to another conference here but I hope this wasn't my last one because I've cherished the moments! If it is, I hope to just book a trip to visit in the future! Thanks for the beautiful memories Airlie!

We were visiting our family during the Easter weekend. I have been here several times prior with my…read morelocal family including the Easter and Mother's Day Brunches, when we did enjoy our dining experiences in the past. I reserved the 12 PM Sunday Easter Lunch this year for my family of nine for $890.40, including seven adults and two elementary school children or a total of nine. It was raining quite heavily during our drive down. Luckily when we arrived a little before noon the rain had changed to a light drizzle. Needless to say the weather was not good on Easter Sunday. We parked our vehicle. The atrium was a short walk from the parking lot. When we checked into the atrium entrance we were immediately directed to our table for nine. Luckily they had some coat racks so we could hang our rain gear. The bar was set up outside the pavilion. Six fluted champagne drinks paired with peach, pear and pomegranate were available for $12 each. I enjoyed my two glasses of Roget champagne for $12 each. Complimentary canned carbonated drinks were provided to our two elementary school children. The prime rib was decent, but the lollipop lamb chops were too tough. My other family members also complained about the tough lollipop lamb chops. I only ate one. I enjoyed the snow crab claws the most. My cupcake and small mousse were acceptable. We departed before the next 2 PM lunch reservations arrived. The restrooms are located outside of the atrium up a staircase, which was not convenient. Overall our family of nine and I did not think that this Easter Day lunch was not worth $100 per person excluding alcohol. We will not return here for either Easter or Mother's Day brunch/lunch in the future. Also because of the poor rainy weather an egg hunt was not included. I found another yelper Brandon, who attended the same lunch as my family. Brandon immediately posted a 1 star negative yelp review. Please read it for another customer's perspective of the same event. I found that reviews ranged from 1 to 5 stars so this place is not consistent in ratings. The variation in ratings seems to be due to whether you attended only a conference/housing event or other non-housing event such as Easter Brunch/Lunch. You can judge for yourself by reading all reviews and deciding if you want to visit here for an event. Don't get me wrong, but the natural grounds and pond here are quite nice. That is worth your visit. My review is mainly regarding the Sunday Easter Lunch.

Huge +1 for the pool table in the house, we created some core memories here and had an awesome game night/ movie night after all our hiking and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Shenandoah. Not to mention, the stars from the deck are INCREDIBLE! The Amazing Grace Getaway offers tons of space for the family, lots of outdoor balconies/ decks, a fully stocked and beautiful kitchen, to name a few! All while being super clean and cozy! Will definitely consider coming back and staying here in the future!
