Ashley, at the desk, was incredibly helpful, suggesting sites to visit, excellent places to eat, and even helping with our luggage. The rates were quite reasonable, especially for the excellent location (between the historic area and the campus of the College of William & Mary). Now that I've discovered it, I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Williamsburg.

We just had an all too quick one night stay and cannot rave about this wonderful place enough…read more The excellent service began with advance emails from owner Billy giving detailed directions to their convenient free parking. The location of the inn could not be more perfect - adjacent to the historical area and close to many great restaurants. Our "George Washington" room was fabulous! Sometimes staying in an old historic building means dealing with dated rooms. Everything in our room was updated, thoughtful, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. Lots of wonderful little touches. The four poster bed was very comfortable and the shower excellent. The wifi worked great and there were lots of convenient plugs, There is a nice lounge area with a lovely adjacent terrace and snacks and tea and coffee available along with a nice continental breakfast. We were there on a Monday night so not all restaurants were open but we enjoyed visits to Precarious, Amber Ox, Mellow Mushroom and Aromas. Thank you to Billy and Sharon for a wonderful stay!

This was a terrific choice. We stayed in the John Rolfe room, which was a second-floor room with a king bed. Every room has a private bath, but we found that this room, original to the home, had a slightly larger bath than some of the others. The owner and host at breakfast was a terrific guy with a great sense of humor, broad knowledge, and a wealth of information about what to do and where to eat in the area. The breakfast was very good and each day featured coffee and orange juice along with healthy selections from the gardens. One day, we had scrambled eggs, ham, and fruit. Another breakfast featured a spinach quiche with home fries and fruit. One small word of caution. If you are a hearty breakfast eater who enjoys bagels, toast, and pancakes in large quantities and intends to skip lunch and have dinner around 6:30 pm, rethink that plan. You will have to stop for lunch or, at the very least, plan to have snacks with you. In fact, the breakfast area had a supply of chocolates and snacks, such as corn chips, popcorn, and potato chips, to take along. The location, right on Jamestown Road across from the College of William and Mary, was only 1/2 mile from Colonial Williamsburg and 5 miles from the Jamestown Settlement and Archaeological Site. Even with a 7-year-old and two seniors, it was an easy walk to Colonial Williamsburg and a short drive to just about any restaurant you would like, from fast food to a variety of cuisines like Chinese, Mexican, and Italian. I have no reservations in recommending this bed-and-breakfast.

Check-in and check-out were easy and contactless. The electronic door locks were of a kind that I had never seen but were easy to use. The bed was a bit softer than I prefer but was comfortable. The bathroom was a good size and the water pressure was decent in the shower. The room temperature was excellent as well. Overall, I had a great stay at Armistead House and would recommend staying here if you are visiting Williamsburg.

Wonderful bed and breakfast in the perfect location for a Colonial Williamsburg trip…read more PROS: Location, breakfast, cleanliness, upkeep, price, and friendliness. - For a Busch Garden, Jamestown and Williamsburg weekend, this is a great place to start. Breakfasts were hearty, the place was immaculate and well maintained, the hostess was very hospitable, caring and the price was super. CONS: Close quarters - Other guests in the house are in adjacent rooms, and you will at times hear doors close, footsteps, sinks and showers, etc. Breakfast is around a 6 person table every morning, so you will get to know the other guests. Stay again? Of course!

We noted a 4pm arrival and arrived 10min before and walked into our room with wine in a melted ice bucket. It must've been placed a while before our arrival. The bathroom was narrow with no hot water in the shower. The sink however only had hot water. Plumbing needs to be addressed. The toilet in the Piedmont room rocked and wasn't secured into the floor. Our room didn't have any towels. We had to request them. Our breakfast was delivered to our room which in theory was nice but the quiche was cold and the yogurt cup was expired. Plus they brought us 2 hot coffees with only 2 half and half's and no sugar. The TV in our room stoped working and staff was supposed to be on sight until 10pm per our welcome email but left at 5. This also prevented us from having a fire in our room. Service was not good and for the price, you can book another place with just as nice of aesthetics with staff that will value hospitality. We emailed the hotel and gave them time to respond and we still haven't heard back from them. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL!

To our surprise we entered what one could could easily confuse as a hostel (as walls are so thin you can hear every person walking and breathing) and were quickly whisked away to the 18th century where basic customer service and amenities, such as cellular service, WiFi, working tv, a phone, having towels in the bathroom, or even an option to buy bottled water, was simply too far fetched of an idea to fathom. Simply put, this place has been neglected by management and ownership alike.

There may be a family that benefits from housekeeping that swings a door into your feet at 9am, because they are hanging off of a creaky bed, but it certainly wasn't mine. Never mind the pretentiousness of a pretend cigar lounge, meaning not one to smoke in but just an aesthetic throwback to a time when people actually enjoyed themselves at this location. Not that one would want a cigar after eating chocolate pudding that tastes like it was infused with Trix cereal or any of the other dishes who sacrifice taste for novelty. I would have at least been frightened by the Colonial Williamsburg ghost tour, but after staying at this location, I realized that even the spirits probably wouldn't stick around.​

I'm very mixed about writing this review as the house was/is beautifully decorated and in such a…read moregreat central location, but in comparing this to other B&Bs I have to be honest. First of all, there was an instruction card that came with the reservation however while it did indicate that there is a backdoor, it did not inform that this was the 'main' entrance. There is very limited parking and if you want to park across at the church on or the street, you are at risk of towing. They have no passes for parking in these locations. The beds are their own issue. If you are vertically challenged, you will have great difficulty getting into the main beds. We stayed in a 'suite' (I use this term laughingly as it was just two connecting rooms) that had another room with twin beds. While the main bed seemed to have a mattress from the last century, the twin beds were ancient. The "pillows" that they give you are quite literally flatter than a pancake they would serve you for breakfast. The suite we stayed in was in the front of the house and there is no insulation to cancel ANY of the traffic noises from outside. It was very very stuffy inside and I wasn't able to open a window. We asked for a step stool and were given one that wasn't even as high as a normal step on a staircase. It was still very difficult to get in to the bed. At no time while I was there did I see, hear or meet the host/hostess of the B&B. The only time we met any employee was in the morning during breakfast. These ladies were AMAZING. They almost made up for the lack of any other service or greeting in their friendliness. The breakfast was late the day I was there. There are signs everywhere stating that it would be served at 8:30 but it was closer to 9:30. I'm an early riser so this was a bit of an inconvenience. At least the coffee was available. They had eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt, toast, cereal etc. It was set up as a buffet style in a very stylish area of the serving area. The dining room table is gorgeous but there are no placemats to put your plates on, I felt very worried about scratching this gorgeous table. The non guest rooms were fit with comfy areas to just relax and chill after a day of being a tourist. The furniture may not have been the most comfortable, but given how cozy each area was this was easily forgiven. I really enjoyed that each room had a Christmas tree already set up. This is not very handicapped friendly as no matter which way you enter, there are very old steps. The front steps were especially bad. To sum up; Parking; F Comfort; B Room Comfort: C+ Breakfast: A Location: A- Price: C (for our experience it was really really pricey)

What a pleasant surprise! My mother and I wanted to get away and take an overnight trip and I…read morerandomly chose this B&B. I'm not a B&B person but I believe I am now. I mainly wanted to support local business so opted for a B&B rather than a chain hotel. When we arrived there was a key in the mailbox. We were the only ones here. The owner had stepped out. I didn't expect that level of trust but it immediately made me feel at home and we explored. What a house! Super clean but there are treasures in every corner. Who does the dusting! Barely saw a fleck. This house holds many memories from this family and this city and you can feel it. We stayed in the Captain John Smith suite. The suite is amazing and super cozy. The separate seating room is such a bonus and I agree with the other reviews it's worth the upgrade. As the only guests we looked in all the rooms and you cannot go wrong. Suite or not. First time experiencing a steam shower. It's a nice upgrade. Took me awhile to adjust the power of it. Warning unless you are tall don't go in and turn it to full power. I did stumble across a first. A black makeup rag. How smart. Ladies tend to ruin white rags with our makeup! Breakfast- oh the smells! I was worried that being the only 2 here the breakfast would be lacking. How wrong. I actually feel guilty this food wasn't shared by a larger group. It's indulgent and it was delicious. Southern at its best. I would come back just for that! There was yogurt and fresh fruit, fresh Ike made muffins, skillet potatoes, fluffy eggs, crisp perfection bacon, and peppered tomato slices. They were out of ketchup which turned out to be a blessing bc everything was seasoned perfectly. I ate every bit onmy plate. What a great spread! They normally do buffet style but since it was only us they didn't which did not take away from our bellies! Overall what a treasured stay. The conversations were easy and natural. Very down to earth people who make you feel at home. Ike is warm and inviting and his smile makes you feel warm. I highly recommend the splurge to stay here and make sure you save time to just lounge around!
