“A lovely historical home and delicious food while visiting the Appomattox Courthouse National Park.”
This is a beautiful bed and breakfast, hosted by the owners in the historic town of Appomattox. The house is lovely, a beautifully renovated home in the vernacular of the area in the 1800s. The food was excellent as one of the owners is an accomplished chef. This is definitely worth a stop!

Very relaxed, unpretentious and comfortable. The dinner menu is exceptional - a pity we weren't hungrier. Fantastic breakfast. A real chef in charge in the kitchen.
