Our son started at Radford University this weekend and we were looking for a place to stay. All local hotels were price gouging with rates triple the norm. I looked into a Bed and Breakfast and found the Rockwood Manor. The price was what you would expect with no price gouging whatsoever. It turned out to be a very happy turn of events. Rockwood Manor is about a 15 minute drive from Radford university and was perfect for our needs. The Manor is on the historic register. A bit rustic on in places, it was last renovated in 2005. It is a beautiful place and our Hosts Frank and Rochelle were warm, friendly and very welcoming. We stayed in the Blakemore room. It had lots of windows which provided a nice view of the property. Our room also had a jacuzzi which we used and it was amazing after a long day on the road. The bed was a bit more firm than what we are used to at home and we recommended a mattress topper but by no means is this a negative as it is a personal preference. The linens were nice and clean and smelled fresh. We walked around the property and they looked to be all set up for wedding events. Lots of space, lots of areas for photo ops. It would be an ideal place for a wedding with room for a reception. The inside while at one point was the family home was like walking through history. We loved it. My favorite thing about the place was that I felt at home. Frank and and Rochelle are wonderful hosts. The breakfast the next morning was great with options for everyone. They also set the food up buffet style which made me feel like I was at a big family breakfast :) The only suggestion I would have is for our hosts to look into some professional rug cleaning. There were a couple of stains in the rug under the table in our room would need professional stain removal to get out. This place is one of the best B&Bs my wife and I have ever visited. We loved it!!! read more

A good friend of mine, David Hill recommended Rockwood Manor when I asked him where I should stay when my son graduated from Virginia Tech on December 15, 2023. The grounds and the home are wonderful. The house is full of the history of the home, American values and beautifully addressed for the Christmas season. The services, food and amenities cannot be beat in a surreal time setting in America's past. Christy was wonderful; she reached out to ensure we could gain access, answers questions and prepared our breakfast the next morning. She is the best and should be acknowledged for her spirit of excellent service. Rockwood Manor also has a Hokie room in the basement, I am sure it was in tribute to my son's graduation. Rockwood Manor is the best of the best! read more

We recently held our daughter's wedding at this venue. Because of a hurricane, we had to move the ceremony, dancing, etc. inside. In at matter of 48 hours the venue staff worked with all the vendors to make our event a flawless affair. This is an elegant venue with perfect service. Some of our guests stayed at the manor and were thrilled with their beautiful accommodations and delicious breakfast. I highly recommend Rockwood Manor for your upcoming event! Perfect in every way. read more

I can't seem to find the words that describe my stay at Rockwood Manor. To begin with, my first view of this beautiful home took my breath away! The elegance of the home and the beautiful grounds are like something out of a movie. We were greeted by the owners Sarah, Frank and Rochelle. They are so kind and friendly and treated us like family. The rooms are amazing and comfortable. There are many, many details that are original to this lovely old home. The food was so good and served hot and fresh. Our group rented the entire house and it was a great place for our 2019 family reunion. We will definitely return and are already looking forward to it. This short vacation at Rockwood Manor was one of the best experiences I have had while traveling. Thank you Rockwood . Wish i was still there. read more

Rockwood Manor - Hotels Near Me - Dublin, Virginia

I stayed at Rockwood Manor with a group of friends, and we could not have been more pleased! We stayed in the main house, and it was breathtaking! Frank and his wife are such welcoming innkeepers and made us feel right at home. The house is so large with so many common areas. It was wonderful to come back after a VT football game and be able to relax in the parlor and have a place to snack and visit with my friends. The grounds are beautiful, and the view from my bedroom was amazing. An added bonus were the wonderful breakfasts each morning. I highly recommend Rockwood Manor. You won't be disappointed! read more

We went here for a friend's wedding reception, which was held at the barn at the bottom of the property. The house was very nice, beds and pillows were very comfortable, sheets were soft. I thought I would be cold, because we went in early winter, but there was a blanket and a comforter on the bed, so we snuggled up nicely under them. The barn for the te reception was really cool and rustic, a beautiful place for a celebration (though I wish it was warmer!). We only stayed one night, as we had a long drive back home the next day. Breakfast was at 9, and we'd hoped to have left earlier, but I am glad we stayed to eat. It was homemade food right there in their kitchen, and it was delicious. Not just your basic boring stuff. They made casserole, and hot cinnamon apples, homemade bread, and fresh fruit. Much better than stopping at a fast food place for a sandwich! If you are looking for a nice bed and breakfast to stay in, I recommend this one! read more

We had our wedding here last weekend and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Frank and his family were wonderful and treated us like family. The venue is beautiful and a great value for a wedding. All of our guests kept complimenting our choice of venue. The rooms are great, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the setting is beautiful. We highly recommend Rockwood. read more

This B&B is gorgeous. Every room has its own personality and the furnishings and decor reflect the excellent taste of interior designer/co-owner Sarah Drummond. We had a family reunion here for three days and nights and all fell in love with the innkeepers, the manor, and the rural surroundings. Most important comfort-wise is the AC, which cools perfectly. The manor, built in 1875 in the Italianate style and loaded with beautiful details like 16" plaster crown molding and striped walnut and ash flooring, was totally renovated in 2005 and is so luxurious with all of the modern comforts, including wireless Internet. Breakfast is gourmet quality and Frank Drummond is an excellent and fearless cook, cooking seasonal and regional variations to suit his whimsy on a particular day. No cold cereal on this menu. We recently visited the Poconos in PA and a comparable B&B would easily cost five or six times more than we paid here. Weddings are a big business, but the overnight traveler is welcome, too. 12 guest rooms will accommodate a large crowd. Highly recommended. read more

We got married at the Rockwood Manor this weekend and spent an amazing time there with our family and guests. The breakfast each morning was amazing and even accommodated our dietary restrictions. Frank was so pleasant and helpful with everything we needed. There is so much History and Love in this home. You can feel the warmth and hospitality that this home has been surrounded with. The venue lent itself perfectly to our event and provided a comfortable flow for everyone. The tent was the perfect size for our 130 guests. The courtyard allowed for even more space and fun. We can't wait to go back and visit soon! read more

I was fortunate to spend a night at Rockwood Manor. I wish I could have stayed longer. The Manor is beautiful and well appointed, the grounds are lovely and expansive. Mrs. Drummond's exquisite taste is evident everywhere you look. I had a wonderful breakfast including fruit from the farm, everything was fresh and flavorful. My room and en suite were gorgeous and comfortable with all the comforts of home, and the extra touches of Sarah. It was my privilege to spend a few hours with Sarah in the evening learning about the history of the house and getting to know Sarah. I enjoyed an interesting and delightful evening that I will always remember fondly. If you have an opportunity to stay at Rockwood Manor, I recommend that you don't hesitate, it's a beautiful experience. read more

I came for a cousin's wedding in late September. The main house is well-maintained with beautiful carved wood, original floors, tall ceilings, and really charming detailing that you would expect from a historic home. Family members who stayed in the main house told me that although you can hear everything going on in the house, the noise is not a problem at night when everyone is asleep. I made the mistake of staying and putting my parents up in the converted calf barn. It is difficult to get to at night, especially because there is no lighting between the barn and the main house. The barn, while renovated, is not nearly as comfortable as the main house. Fixtures feel cheap, ugly carpeting and furniture populate the room--do not stay in the barn (called The Chardonnay and Merlot rooms). My last comment covers the grounds of the property. There are beautiful trees and flowers on the property along with a pond full of goldfish. It looks beautiful but the ground is uneven (hard to walk on especially at night), was covered by fallen leaves and nuts. In short, it could be a lot better maintained. Overall, Rockwood Manor provides decent accommodations. You will not be disappointed if you stay in the main house! read more

My wife and I rented the whole house for a full weekend for our wedding in July of 2009. It was absolutely beautiful! The owners of the house were always helpful and it was spotless! Everyone who stayed at the house couldn't stop talking about how beautiful and comfortable it was! Not a bad price either at $1,700 for such a beautiful house! They also have a really neat barn on their property that is huge and can be used for parties. We used it for our rehearsal dinner and got married on the front porch steps. Can't recommend it enough! read more
