Hot tea

Pretty unique, decorated spot. Americana decor mixed with antiques. Quite pricey which is expected at a B&B ($80 for 2 for brunch), was well worth it for a special occasion. The ham egg and cheese croissant was DELICIOUS, probably the best one I've ever had. As someone that doesn't often finish their plate, I left no crumbs behind. Their tea service was nice, even came with its own adorable personal jar of honey . The Bloody Mary will fool you, it was HUGE in a very wide glass to the point my date took the entire time drinking it and it barely budged. Came with its own mini Tabasco jar as well. My date loves his blue crab eggs Benedict . Worth stopping in to give it a try, we enjoyed the quirkiness of the patriotic names matching the decor. An owner? Stopped by to check on us as well which is always nice to see. We did feel a bit rushed with the waitress. The grits were sweet which I've never experienced before and did not care for, wild not get the grits again.

The putting green looks like it hasn't been maintained.

Our stay at the Kilmarnock Inn proved to be very disappointing. We were greeted by the owner when we first arrived, and he was certainly friendly but did not give off great vibes. We were shown to our room and where to park but never asked if we need help with our luggage, something that I would have expected if the Kilmarnock was in fact an upscale Inn. The room really smelled; we were not sure what it was, but it was hard to get past the odor. The air conditioner was noisy, the bed somewhat uncomfortable, and no counterspace at all in the bathroom. The entire Inn just had a dingy and upkept feel to it. Our breakfast was good and was included in our room price. I would have been very disappointed if I paid the $50.00 + price that was on the guest check we were presented. The waitress was very friendly and checked in with us often but the freshly laundered tee shirt with an ammunition logo on it was a bit of a turnoff. I would have expected the staff to wear uniforms or at least polo shirts with the Inn's name on it. The Inn was not serving dinner when we visited which was probably a blessing in surprise. I rarely write lukewarm reviews but feel it necessary to warn others that our experience did not come close to our expectations or other reviews.

What a find!! Being in the hospitality business over 35…read moreyears and to experience a Beauty with David as the owner, that truly knows how too entertain on highest level. We felt so welcomed. 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!

If you are considering staying at the Inn at Tabbs Creek, let this be your sign to do so! 5 stars…read moreis not a high enough rating - this place breaks the scale. 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. The property is beyond beauty. The Breakfast is amazing. Every bite every morning was perfect. Chef Sarah truly knows flavor. Checking in and out was seamless. My Girlfriend and I look forward to visiting the Inn at Tabbs Creek for years to come.

I recently escaped to Atherston Hall during Inauguration weekend. I wanted somewhere far away, and…read moreboy, did I get it. I didn't even have cell service, which, to me was wonderful. They had free wireless internet, so you can have some contact with the outside world if you like. This is a classic B&B, decorated in very soothing colors and liveable antiques. Coffee was put out early every morning, and the breakfasts were filling and tasty- with the highlights being what was made there- homemade granola and fresh preserves (jam). Bill makes great omlettes and bacon as well! The two labs, Abbey and Savana are sweeties, but only seemed to get used to us after 3 nights. They are protective and will bark, but in a way as to welcome you home. A quick rub behind the ears and they miraculously remember you. Urbanna itself is SMALL, so make sure you have activities beyond tea and breakfast- we just used the wireless to plan our outings each day. I was pleasantly surprised that our pet-friendly room not only had a door to the back garden (so you dont run through and disturb other guests) but there was no additional fee/rent. That combined with the great breakfasts make it very reasonable. I will be returning soon! p.s. location is wrong on map- located 1 block from Cross and Virginia Streets near the town center.

The whole weekend was relaxing and peaceful. Urbanna was a great town to walk around and everyone was so friendly. Make sure you check out the great nearby restaurants - Ostra and Merroir. The breakfasts served were absolutely delicious - and totally filling! The caramelized banana waffles are the stuff dreams are made of. This is a wonderful place to spend a weekend and I imagine it is even more beautiful in the summertime! Can't wait to go back!
