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!

Dive into this historic and beautiful home on your next trip. Each room is as magnificently unique and elegant and the other. I've had the joy of getting to know the Blair's and this Inn is a stunning example of amazing hospitality and luxury comfort that literally takes your breath away. I stopped in for a breakfast a few months ago and the food and service by Mr. & Mrs. Blair was spectacular. I've never dined in such a way before! I'm only going to post one photos as I don't want to give too much away - you have to stop in for yourself. Spend your next stay-cation or weekend getaway here. Looking to tie the knot? The Inn is also a beautiful wedding venue and the Blair's can act as your officiants! This couple and their Inn are truly what makes communities like Coastal Virginia great.

Will even catered to the gluten-sensitive in our group. Now that's customer service!!! My favorite memories include sitting out on the bench looking up at the starry sky (never seen so many stars) chatting with my gals with wine in hand while black cows looked on. My friends and I shared a suite with 3 beds, which was perfect. It was clean, quiet and the hosts were kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. I'd recommend this for families, couples and groups. This is hands down the best B&B I've ever stayed.

So, if you're like me and you want a countryside get away, but still need the necessities of modern entertainment and conveniences, this place is for you. I admit that I love the idea of bed and breakfasts, but I loathe the prospect of being stuck in a house with other people. Strange, right? This place has two separate cottages right beside the main house.... I stayed in a cottage, and they will bring breakfast right to your door in the morning. Yummy eggs benedict when I was there. One cottage has a small kitchenette - microwave and sink. It was even stocked with cereal, milk and OJ. There were rocking chairs on the porch and I enjoyed just sitting there in the evening, having some drinks and watching the fireflies. It's very lovely and peaceful. I'm going again for a couple of days in September. Can't wait!

Website took my credit…read morecard information and at no point said anything about a minimum two night stay or any limitations. Upon arriving the owner did not know about our booking. Claimed he had not received one. When I showed him the email with the booking information he then contradicted his original story by saying that he sent me an email stating that one night bookings on the weekend were not acceptable. When I told him I had not received an email he became belligerent and said that on the booking rules on the website it states that one night stays on weekends are not accepted. AT NO POINT during the booking process does the website direct you to this page or provide you with that information. When I proceeded to point out that he had my credit card information he responded that he had not charged the card (although there is nothing to stop him from now doing so, and given his lying and belligerence it's hard to trust that the information is secure). When I informed him that he needed to fix his website booking procedures because the website is as I described, he proceeded to insult me in front of my 10 year old son, unnecessarily raising his voice. Not a way to run a business or to act as a reasonable human being. Plenty of great places to stay in Williamsburg. Avoid this one like the plague unless you enjoy being insulted by a belligerent old man with a broken booking website who takes your credit card information without providing service. Probably the worst experience I've had in thirty plus years of traveling. If mistakes have been made and you can't run an effective website there is no need to insult the potential guests that your poor service have inconvenienced. Just awful all around.

We stayed here for our anniversary. First, the location is excellent. The house is very close to…read morethe colonial area. It is also a beautiful house. When we arrived Dick gave us a tour. He showed us our room, including what he called the "three person shower." He offered to join us in the three person shower, which was pretty weird. The home looked like someone bought out a Home Depot in 1990. It needs a modern reno. There are lots of figurines in the room, so it seems like there are always eyes on you. Breakfast involved bananas and peanut butter on toast. We won't return.

My wife and I are already planning our return here and have and will continue to recommend the Aldrich House to our family and friends.

We enjoyed our days of sightseeing at Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown Settlement, then returning to relax by the fire before heading out for dinner at restaurants nearby. We were traveling with 3 children, ages 12, 11, and 9.5, and the Anderson Room was exactly what we needed for our family. The grandparents stayed in a room on the ground floor. Everyone was happy - and that says a lot when traveling across the country with 3 generations!

I'm a sinensophile... I love tea... and tea rooms! I've been to almost every one in Virginia and…read morebeyond! So I was really looking forward to coming to Peace Hill Farm for their afternoon tea. I made reservations for me and my friend. It was a lovely drive ... At first... the gps directions are awful. I was taken down a road which was designated as peace hill - but we ended up at a red house, no one there, then we called and got even worse directions. The woman on the phone told us to go by the "red hen house" and through the woods... it was barely a road, full of tree roots, dirt path, and rocky terrain. After a 1/2 hour, we finally made it and end up at the back of the building. Come to find out, if she had just told us to go back to the main road and keep going 1/4-1/2 or so, we'd see the other entrance to the main house. Not a great first impression. The grounds were lovely and the farm animals gave a pastoral vibe. Inside was pretty too, but we were led to a rather secluded back room full of wool and yarn. Not that it wasn't cozy, but quite different from the dozens upon dozens of tea rooms I've been to. The lady who was "minding the store" didn't seem like she knew what she was doing. It took ages to get our teas and the tea (earl grey) tasted bland and stale, the soup was a putrid green (inedible) and while we were waiting we heard her chatting on the phone. Anyway, she wasn't the owner, so maybe she was new or just helping out?? The tea tier arrived and it looked nice... the sandwiches were good, basic cucumber, egg salad, and a pesto, with a mini ham biscuit... the scones were not good - sorry - but they were served with loads of cream and jam yet they should be served plain and the "condiments" on the side. My friend who can't have the toppings and preferred a plain scone, asked for a plain one. The lady said it would take 20 minutes . Which it did, and longer. All and all, it wasn't a very relaxing experience. I took some nice pictures, and we enjoyed the surroundings, but the afternoon tea service itself was mediocre. Sadly, we were disappointed, and I really wanted to love this place since I had heard good things... I'm sure the bed and breakfast side of the experience is probably much better. The sheep, the goats, the wool, the crafts, the pasture raised products, the farm life... that is your best bet from the other reviews I've read, but maybe you'll have a better tea time than we had. We might have to give this place another try and see if it improves.

I visited for afternoon tea with friends. The setting is pretty and I loved the old home. At our…read moreplace setting there was a glass of sparkling wine with a peach puree. We enjoyed the drink however, we had to ask for details about the drink and wish the host would have described it for us. The soup was a tomato soup which was ok but definitely didn't taste like tomato. In general we were disappointed in the food. The tea selection wasn't my favorite. I would have preferred a milder blend to go with the food rather than the choice of two strong flavors.

Let me lead with the good stuff. The employees were first rate. Helpful. Welcoming. They took…read moreeffort to remember you and ask about plans, and followed up with inquiries about how the day went. We felt respected and valued. The location was also good, if it's what you want. Basically we were less than 15 minutes from everything. So just far enough away that it was an escape, but close enough that you're not spending forever in the car just to get somewhere. The breakfasts were also good. Though it was mostly a set menu, so little change between days. That's sadly where I have to end with the positives. The whole hotel felt like it was once lavish and beautiful, but has since been neglected and permitted to fall into disrepair. Everywhere you looked you would see something in need of attention. Drywall corner tape was peeling throughout our room. Leaks had been repaired (I hope) but the damage to the walls and ceiling had not. Sections of outside trim was missing (a welcome invitation to critters). The pool tiles were mostly cracked or damaged which could be extreme hazardous to bare feet. Fixtures and fittings throughout the hotel clearly had been installed with little to no attention to detail. Like i said, it looked nice once upon a time, but needs A LOT of effort and money spent on it to get back to that level. The price they're charging today doesn't match. The cleanliness of the room was also far from acceptable. Under the bed and sofa clearly hadn't been cleaned in a year. Surfaces that were in eye sight were dusty, pet hair was in the carpet, and we found used tissues and makeup pads in the room after we checked in. There are spider webs on the ceiling of the lobby, and dust caked into the air vents (improperly installed I might add) in the bathrooms. We also ran out of shampoo and body wash on the second day.... meaning these were not checked between guests. The hair dryer was broken. The shower head was so powerful it hurt to use. There were never any cushions on any of the outdoor furniture. And part of the pool area was covered in fruit berries from a tree rendering it unusable. Not once cleaned in the 4 days we stayed. Not to mention trash in the flower beds that had not been cleaned up from other guests. But maybe worse (certainly more inconvenient) than that, there is no WiFi or cell service in the hotel. So any planning of activities, uber orders, keeping touch with work/family has to be done away from the hotel. And though we didn't plan on any TV watching, the TVs don't work. So don't plan on any internet or TV access during your stay despite it being listed as an amenity. Once upon a time this could have been a grand place to stay, and it seems like the owners are still living in the past. Despite the above, we enjoyed our time, but won't visit again. 2 stars is honestly pretty generous a review.

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!

As many of the reviews previously stated, this is a cute little bed and breakfast. Also as…read morepreviously stated, the hosts, especially John, do have an encyclopedic knowledge of the history here in Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. Some further things to consider as you decide whether to make this place your stay while in Williamsburg: 1. Breakfast takes at least an hour as John will ask you where you are going for the day and then regale you with stories of the location, watching you as you eat. If you're a history buff with a deep love for stories and a desire to be fully engaged at 8am, this is the place for you. If you like to drink your coffee in silence while you slowly wake up, it may not be. 2. Ask a question, however small, about any part of the house or object in the house and a story is tied to it. Sometimes one story launches into another and it's hard to get away. 5 min or 30 min, you never know how long and politely extricating yourself can be difficult. It is delightful that every part has meaning, but this style may not be for everyone 3. There are English Country dances Tuesdays and Thursdays which they strongly recommend you joining in. Even should you choose not to go, the bedrooms are right off the ballroom and the dancing goes till 10pm. This may not be for everyone 4. There is a house rabbit that stays primarily in the kitchen with the millers but during breakfast is allowed to roam the main floor freely. Depending on whether you're allergic, this may not be for you. 5. The mattresses are hard and the pillows are quite firm. This is to my liking but may not be to yours 6. There is rooms are somewhat cooled. If you're used to sleeping at 75 degrees, shouldn't be a big deal. If you like to sleep at 65, you'll be quite warm. Overall, if you're looking for a warm, inviting place with hosts that will catch you whenever they see you to chat by sharing their stories and delight in living in Williamsburg, this is the place for you. If you're looking for a quiet uninterrupted holiday, you may want to look elsewhere.

Delightful. The Newport House collateral is accurate: the dwelling and furnishings are picked…read moredeliberately, for authenticity. You may find that is something reflected elsewhere in Colonial Williamsburg as well, but possibly not as consistently. Newport House is, as promised, walking distance to the places you will want to see in Williamsburg. It is across the street from William & Mary, if you are visiting there. The phrase "museum quality" likewise applies. If you enjoy history, and learning things, you'll enjoy the many stories and insights gracious owner John F. Millar can provide. You just need to ask questions. He's more than happy to share. He also will be dead on where it comes to where to eat, how much time to budget for various attractions, what is worth seeing, and what to avoid. Ask about the spoon bread at Christiana Campbell's. It's worth tasting. Aside from his personal connection to "Master and Commander" and "Pirates of the Caribbean II," John is a reliable guide where it comes to exploring Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. Aside from the dwelling and the furnishings, even breakfast will be a historically accurate experience. Ask hostess and wife Cathy Millar (also very friendly) about Josephine Bunnyparts and house rabbits. Or bee keeping, if you prefer. Newport House does not accept credit cards, so keep that in mind. If you want accommodations that are in keeping with the Colonial Williamsburg experience, Newport House is for you. If you like learning things, it's even better.
