There isn't much good to be said about an intrusive housekeeping staff, beds that can barely sleep an average person or kitchen staff that can even ruin chocolate pudding but I will make an attempt. 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.​ read more

I'm very mixed about writing this review as the house was/is beautifully decorated and in such a great 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) read more

beautiful house, breakfast was amazing. a little early though for me, ended up sleeping through it most days. overall great stay!

We stayed here recently when we were in town for a wedding. The bride's family had rented out the entire house for the wedding party, and we ended up staying in the Benjamin Powell House Red room. The rates for the room by itself are on par with similar B&Bs in the area, and we were a bit surprised at how reasonable the website-listed price was to rent out the entire place. Our room was quite nice; well decorated, a big and comfortable bed, and two windows. It had it's own bathroom, but it was quite a small bathroom (not at all unusual in Williamsburg). The common areas were beautiful, and with comfortable furniture. They have wireless internet, but they also have a little business-center setup with a computer and printer if you don't want to bring your laptop. I was a huge fan of the snack area, which had over a dozen jars of different types of candy (including those orange gummy slices, which might as well be crack as far as I'm concerned). Overall this was a really nice place to stay, and the location is outstanding, just a 5-10 minute walk to DoG street and Colonial Williamsburg itself. If we are going to do a B&B in Williamsburg again we will look here first. read more

This was our first B & B as a family we have ever stayed at. We were a little nervous bringing our girls (9 and 11 years old) with us BUT the James Getty suite was ideal for us. We arrived after 11pm and complete instructions were given for entry into the home and our suite. When entering the home everything was so welcoming down to the complimentary sweet treats and drinks. We all rested very well for our busy days at the Amusement Parks. Each morning we were awoken to the smell of a home cooked breakfast. Our host was amazing as she not only cooked a delicious breakfast she was very knowledgeable about the home and surrounding events taking place within the area. We will for sure be returning in the future! read more

Room was very nice. Bed was comfy. Private bathroom was fine. Appreciated the parking, snacks, and coffee/tea/pop. Wi-Fi was appreciated, but a wee bit slow. Weekdays in May, and we basically had the house to ourselves. Breakfast both days was different, more than we could eat (think on the scale of a "Full Irish" in the U.K.), and delicious. Only reason for 4-stars is that it's a B&B, not the Ritz. However, they did everything right, and it was a great experience. I would totally repeat, and send family (that I liked) here. read more

Great place to stay for true Williamsburg experience. Right next to William and Mary College and walking distance to all the village action. A wonderful breakfast was prepared by A young lady named Fee. I would stay again because of location, ambiance and Miss Fee. If mattresses and pillows were updated would be a 5-star stay. read more

The Williamsburg Manor - Hotels Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Look no further friends, this is the BEST in Williamsburg. I stayed for a spontaneous weekend getaway and let me tell ya...the food was scrumptious, the interior design was extremely comforting and the location is perfect walking distance from several restaurants and bars, William and Mary as well as Colonial Williamsburg. The Manor is what I would call "modern colonial chic" so you still get the old-school feel without the antique fragileness and dead people rotting in the basement stench. Next time I am in Williamsburg; I will most definitely be staying here again. Oh and shout out to Annita who helped me book my stay, she was so patient and enthusiastic about answering all of my a trillion and one questions which made me even more hyped up beyond my usual extreme caffeine adrenaline boost. P.S. If you're staying alone, don't worry, there are always extra ghostly friends roaming around the halls at night (KIDDING...or am I)? read more

This is a beautiful little B&B. My husband's work rented it out for their Christmas party (small business so everyone could fit with spouses). It's walking distance from all of the Colonial Williamsburg attractions, Merchant Square etc. Being there during the holiday season was pretty magical. The Manor was decorated with trees and lights greenery and was really beautiful. The service was wonderful. There's a small kitchen and they had a delicious serve yourself breakfast/brunch--quiches, old fashioned hominy grits, biscuits, fruit and more--in a little nook near the back entrance of the house. It's pet friendly as the other reviewer mentioned, which is cool. read more

Lovely home, great rooms, and SPECTACULAR food! I liked Williamsburg, but I LOVED The Williamsburg Manor. The location of this place is spectacular: just a quick walk over to the Colonial Williamsburg shopping/bar area, yet quiet enough to feel like you're getting away. The house is 'modern colonial' and very well cared for---making it feel comfortable yet modern. Their backyard patio is ADORABLE and if it were a tad bit warmer, I would have sat out there with a book and a glass of wine no problem. The rooms themselves are well apportioned, comfortable, and clean. Most seemed to have their own bathroom too. Downstairs there is every snack food imaginable for guests to take and there are fresh yummy muffins too. Speaking of food--their breakfast is AMAZING. The Hearty Porridge and Potato Pancakes were out of this world. Fresh and savory. I ate so much I could even eat lunch! The German Inn Keeper (who is not the owner---as another person mentioned, lives off-site) is ultra friendly and accommodating. She let us stick around to finish some work in their living area well after check out of 11am. Finally---the rates are incredibly reasonable and the rooms downstairs were perfect for reading (particularly the room with the fireplace) or browsing the web. Also of note---they have a 'honor system' bar where you can buy bottles of wine or beer. Lovely!! read more

The house is delightful. Decorated with a feel for its colonial roots and 1/2 a block from the College of William & Mary (established 1693). Walking distance to historic colonial Williamsburg towne center. The rooms are beautifully styled and comfortable. There are lots of common areas inside and out. The garden area is small but so lovely and offers lots of sitting space. I lucked out by finding a room available last minute, but I recommend planning ahead. They are usually booked up. There is a two room shared Jack and Jill bathroom that is good for families. One room has a queen bed and the other has two twin beds. They also have pet friendly options for dog travelers like me. read more

Pros: - Breakfast was good and the chef and housekeeping were friendly. - Neighborhood was good to walk about. Cons: - The room I paid for and was promised wasn't available. No one called me to let me know that ahead of my stay giving me the privilege to change my plans if I so chose. - I was told there would be ample off-street parking...there is only room for 3 vehicles, and there are more than three guest rooms. - There needs to be signs on the doors so guests who are checking themselves in know without a doubt which room is theirs. Not one room had a sign or number...if there was a closet or utility room, one wouldn't be able to tell them apart. That said TWICE my door was knocked on when I was trying to sleep because people couldn't figure it out. - The cable service (for TV) did not work - no one there to manage it. The location of the plasma screen (no adjustable arm) didn't allow one to view the TV unless you were standing in a corner. - The bed mattress (poster bed) was three feet off the ground and there was no stool to climb in and out of it. Not what I expected. Also the mattress was hard. No good sleep there. Further, the 4-5 foot ceiling fan was literally just a few feet above you since the bed was so high. - The shrubs and plants around the property were so overgrown and needing some trimming that you almost always brushed up against them while walking the paths around the place. - It shouldn't be a chef or housekeeper's role to manage guest issues beyond their areas. I felt like there should have been a house manager in charge since the owners were planning to be away. This is the first time I've been to a B&B where the owners did not personally welcome me. The owners were absent the whole weekend. - The key system was in my opinion not very secure, meaning my security was at risk the way it was handled. Further, I didn't appreciate my name public like it was done. Very surprised to have to write a review like this with all the Covid-19 challenges businesses are facing. I would think businesses would be trying harder to impress new consumers at present. read more

The service is great and the atmosphere is lovely... there are free snacks and non-alcoholic drinks available for free and beer and wine for sale on an honor-system. There are even dog treats for your canine companion. Not to mention the free wifi, HD TV, iHome ipod dock/alarm clock,and dvd players in each room. This b&b is a cut above the rest. And don't get me started on the excellent cooking. read more

I stayed at the Inn when I decided to take a last-minute trip to Williamsburg. The gorgeous rooms and the variety of complimentary snacks that are set out for guests made me feel right at home when I walked in. I especially enjoyed eating breakfast in the beautiful garden. The only thing that I would suggest is to ask for a room on the 2nd floor, as I could hear the people above us quite easily on the first floor. Overall, this was a great place to bring my friend who had never been to a B&B before. read more

This is my favorite place to stay in Williamsburg, it is literally like a second home to me and I would refuse to stay anywhere else in the area. It has been gorgeously remodeled over the years and every time we come back there is a fun new upgrade. You can tell how much the owners love and care about this property, although they live down the street and not on sight. The Manor now has flat screens in all the rooms, all new linens, and a snack nook that is always stacked with filtered water, cookies and other treats. It used to be that you could purchase a bottle of wine there although I don't know if that is the case anymore. They have also worked super hard on creating a lovely outdoor garden space and there is actually nothing better than sitting in the garden with a glass of wine watching the sunset on Richmond Road on a summers evening. The rates are the best in the area, and you can rent the whole house for what it cost to stay in a hotel for a few nights. You lose nothing in the great rate though, you can walk to Colonial Williamsburg and are just a short drive away from Busch Gardens and Water Country. The Manor itself is actually on William and Marys campus making it great for graduations, tailgates and coming to visit the alma mater. We always park and then walk down to the Cheese Shop to get one of their amazing sandwiches and people watch. I would highly recommend going in the spring and staying in the Blue room which is my favorite. My husband and I actually had our engagement pictures taken at the Manor because he proposed to me in Williamsburg and the house was where we were staying. Please let me know if you have any questions, you will absolutely love your stay here! Thank you Craig and Laura for always making sure we have the best experience possible, can't wait to come back and see you again soon! read more

This was a great place. Went there for a conference. I have always loved Williamsburg and I really enjoy staying here. Close to historic Williamsburg. You can walk everywhere. read more

This was a really wonderful property and experience! My family rented the whole house for a reunion recently and I would do it again. The house is very old and decorated in that sense so it fits with the area. It is walking distance to everything in town and has a big driveway to park multiple cars on. Each morning, a delicious breakfast was made for us (they have chickens in the back, so Fresh eggs!) and when we made ourselves dinner at the house, we were able to use the grill out back and the kitchen. The rooms were cleaned every day and the gardens were beautiful. Each room had its own bathroom, flat screen TV and lock/key to the room and house. Working with the owner was super easy and she was always quick to respond to questions. If I were to have any complaints, it would be that one bathroom was very tiny with a super small shower and the beds were a bit hard and very creaky. But I kind of think that's part of the appeal of a house like this! If you are looking for a modern place to sit on your computer, this isn't it. But this is a lovely vacation retreat. read more

Loved our stay at this B&B! Our room was comfortable. Some of the manors furniture could be updated. The best part of our stay was the amazing chef Maggie would make each day. So many varieties and all homemade and delicious! The 24 hour coffee/tea bar had many selections and an assortment of snacks. read more

This place is totally charming! I just attended a wedding here and it's perfect for a small wedding! And the innkeeper, Maggie, is so sweet and one amazing cook! She had no problem accommodating my special dietary needs. It is just a few minutes walk from Colonial Williamsburg and just next door to William & Mary College. I highly recommend this place for just a place to stay or a venue for a small wedding! read more

Williamsburg Manor is a top-notch B&B just minutes (walking!) from Colonial Williamsburg. We booked for a long weekend getaway and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The rooms are great, the food amazing and the house warm and welcoming. The snacks are a great bonus. The house has a lot of charm and character. We'll be back again! read more

Great location if you're in town for Colonial Williamsburg. Only a 5 minute drive to the visitor's center. Enjoyed our stay overall. Very nice and historic home. Room was clean, and supplied appropriately. Only a couple minor issues with the room: remote did not function the TV, and no curtain on the window in the shower. So if you don't mind the neighbors seeing you shower, then this works perfectly. To be fair, the window fogs up eventually. Breakfast was excellent! Fresh and plenty to choose from. They keep snacks and beverages in the kitchen complimentary in addition to tea and a coffee machine. Very nice!!! They have an "honor" bar. So if you would like a beer or wine, just take and drop your money in the piggy. Plenty of rooms in the house to lounge around. Very safe, upscale and quiet community. Plenty of places to eat around as well. I give this place 4.5+ with just a minor deduct for the room. I would recommend staying, and the wife and I would stay here again without second thought. read more
