I got a Living Social deal to stay here for two nights. The price was right and we had been to…read morevisit the house a few months earlier. The grounds are nice and it was fun to explore the place since we're here longer. We're slightly disappointed with the guest house though. It's fine and clean but pretty plain. I was assuming staying at an inn at a historic place that the guest house/inn where you're staying would be historic. It's not. The guest houses look fairly new and built as a way to just get people to stay here to get money for the place. It's not a B&B or really very charming at all. It's actually fairly corporate looking and feels impersonal. You cant check-in until 4 which is kinda crazy. When we got here there was a vacuum cleaner with the cord in front of our door that we had to move and a cleaning rag on the table outside our door. It's like the cleaning crew just said "screw it...I'm out for the day' and left their stuff there. They were still there the next morning. When the cleaning crew did do our room they didn't wipe down the sink, do anything with the towel/washcloth on the sink. We had a couple of tea cups on the night stands that they didn't take away either. There is a kitchen for shared use in the house but you are expected to put dishes in the dishwasher which always seemed to be running. The walls/ceiling are pretty thin as you can hear every bit of sound in the place. The continental breakfast is ok but they had one guy in the back and nobody clearing away dirty dishes so tables you might want to sit at you couldn't. Also, nobody was making sure the juice carafes were filled so they say empty while we were there. All in all I expected a lot better from this place considering the location and name but I cant complain too much due to the great living social deal I got. I wont be coming back for a romantic weekend where there are so many better places.

A truly beautiful wedding venue! We rented the inn for two nights and held our wedding reception on…read morethe patio, which perfectly complemented our European garden theme. The proprietors, Jennifer and Greg, were wonderful to work with and accommodated our special requests to help make our wedding everything we had dreamed of. The appetizers, dinner, and specialty cocktails were all beautifully prepared and received rave reviews from our guests. Those who stayed in the inn and apartments commented on the charming accommodations and especially appreciated the comfortable beds. We fell in love with the home's stunning architecture and antique furnishings, which blend seamlessly with modern comforts and amenities. Our international guests were particularly enchanted by the house, saying that this more than 100-year-old Virginia home was exactly what they had imagined when picturing the historic beauty and charm of Virginia. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting for our wedding celebration and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, elegant, and memorable venue.

Total relaxation with every detail taken care of. First the husband/wife innkeepers Shawn and Steve were amazing and cared so much that we had a wonderful stay. We had my elderly parents w us in their ground floor room called the "Islandscape"and we had one of the main house "Narada" room. The view and location were fantastic. The breakfasts were special 3 course including fresh fruit and something sweet and savory. The baked goods every day by Shawn showed her love and talent for baking--even a goodie bag at our departure. If I lived closer, I would come more often! There's a game room, binoculars, hot chocolate w mini marshmallows, beautiful sitting areas to enjoy the view throughout the property including the front porch where we hung out after dinner. The restaurant right across the street about a stone's throw away at Charles Street served tapas and seafood w live jazz in a Sat night. We also tried Bugeye Grill another night and they were fantastic too. Never really had to get back in the car as you can walk just a few blocks up to the main part of town w a few shops and restaurants. Right next door is an outdoor salty tiki bar that looks fun when it warms up more. I could go on and on. Oh, and Calvert Cliffs park is only 10 min away by car where you can find shark teeth and fossils, which we did! Soo much better than a hotel or airbnb!

Other places either required more than one night or are too pricy for what I'm looking for just for a night without bringing much items (small rooms). No fridge and no toiletries (just bar soap) - so bring your shampoo and conditioner. Towels and toilet paper provided. There was also a basic and small hair dryer hanging on the bathroom wall. My room was clean, sheets were fresh, and it was quiet even on Sat night. I didn't need to use my noise cancelling machine which I always bring just in case when traveling. Jan offered to take me to places in town if needed however I didn't need it this quick trip. I also felt safe in the motel. Jan lives next door and mentioned there have never been any break ins. That was important for me since I was traveling alone. I would love to return another weekend with my fiancé or maybe some family if they're able to book the next door rooms.

What a glorious stay I had recently at Dennison Street Inn, located in one of my favorite small…read moretowns, Colonial Beach, Virginia. Innkeepers Jodie and John have left nothing to chance and in her own words, Jodie says that she learns something new with each new visitor, striving to accommodate every want and need. For example, when a guest complained of not having a specific blend of tea, Jodie made sure from that point on to have a wider selection. This attention to detail is evident from the moment you walk through the doors of the stately Victorian, originally built for the first mayor of Colonial Beach. The owners wanted furnishings to match the time period of the majestic home, but didn't want an overly feminine look as is common with Victorian decor. They found a perfect balance. Plush furniture in the living room (it's like sitting on a throne!) in muted colors with antiques and historic paintings on the walls. I imagine the owners going through each room, as if they were guests themselves, anticipating every possible need a visitor might want. There is a shoe rack at the door, earplugs next to your bed, and every type of sweetener (sugar, raw sugar, sugar substitute), coffee and tea you could desire. There was even a special dark colored, plush towel for removing makeup so I wouldn't feel bad mucking up the white ones. Speaking of towels...they are just one more attention to luxury detail. Super fluffy and absorbent. Bathroom rugs are like walking on a cloud. My room even had a whirlpool tub! The bed is so soft and has so many pillows, you could spend your whole weekend right there. Freshly baked homemade cookies greet you upon arrival. Breakfast (prepared to your liking) is served in your room. (My room had two separate seating areas, in addition to the bedroom. Queen for a day!) Jodie and John were so kind, warm, accommodating and helpful. I can't wait to go back!

Not only was the interior of the Inn impeccable, from its cleanliness to it's time set furniture and ambience but also, my room, the King Charles Suite, was huge and provided every comfort of home. In addition to every necessary amenity, I was also able to be super efficient at work as the internet was very fast and reliable. Jody was the absolute best host anyone could ask for. She was friendly and knew what I needed before I even asked for it. She was an amazing cook also, preparing the best cedar plank salmon I have ever had! All her meals were freshly made and delicious, accompanied by fresh herbs and veggies from her garden. I have definitely found my go-to place to stay when traveling to Colonial Beach!

Modern but still captured the old coastal feel. It was super musty and smelled like it. There was a dehumidifier but it was so small, in two nights we actually had to dump the water bucket 4 times. And if we left all day, we came back to a damp room. I'm not sure what causes that - we live in a super humid area and don't have the same issue, but maybe a larger humidifier would help. The breakfasts were fantastic - you can order anything off their restaurant menu. I didn't have anything bad, everything was super fresh and came in huge portions. I do wish they had an espresso machine but the coffee was okay. Check out was also a breeze. This isn't a luxury location, my main complaint was the price for it feels steep, but it's one of the only spots in the area which is probably why they can charge so much. Overall, a great stay and I would definitely come back here if I was in the area again.

My wife's house salad was very tasty but had several pieces of wilted greens that she picked out. I started with the French onion soup, which was very salty. Almost too salty to eat. My wife had the salmon and I had the Shrimp in the sambuca sauce. The salmon was cooked good and very flavorful, the asparagus was cooked perfectly and good tasting. The shrimp were cooked well but the dish itself was lacking flavor. I was surprised at the absence of the sauce. It barely covered the pasta. The waitress did offer to add more sauce to it, and actually brought out some more sauce with a little more sambuca in it. It did improve the dish,but not one of my favorites. So 5 stars on the salmon dish. 3 stars on the salad. 1 star on the French onion soup, and 3 stars on the shrimp sambuca sauce dish. I have had the French onion soup before and it was good, so this was just a bad night. We will still go there because they usually are very good, and everyone can have an off night. The waitress told the chef about the sambuca sauce and she said he agreed with me and tweek the sauce.
