Highly recommended for an authentic experience in Colonial Williamsburg

We stayed in one of the Colonial houses near the Inn. Authentic colonial with two bedrooms—street level and 1st floor. Very well tended and comfortable. Walkable to Inn.

Great location and comfortable, but a little dated.

Great location, but the room itself was a bit dated. We were also on the top floor, and while we had nice views, the dormer roof was low.

It was a time of period engagement and emotional absorption.

Location was near perfect, don't understand the question regarding breakfast?

We chose this for the location. We arrived in the room after a long day of walking around . It is right on Gloucester st

The location was excellent, the room was warm.

Great experience in the old town.

Superb location in the old part of Williamsburg, everything we wanted to see was close by. Great to experience an older property.

Excellent stay in historic building in centre of Colonial Williamsburg

Right in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. Clean, comfortable room, comfortable bed, hot and powerful showers. Also, thoroughly recommend King’s Arms for lunch or dinner.

It was a perfect stay, in the midst of the historic district.

We loved the environment and that we did not need the car all weekend, due to staying in the midst of the historic district. The room was very clean and the lady directing us in the Colonial house was very nice.

Close to everything, parking included, issues were resolved.

The manager at the front desk handled all of my problems of the first night and morning with respect. She came up with fair solutions. She asked if I wanted to move to another room but I only one night left and did not want to lose my time moving all of my stuff. I did appreciate the manager who walked me to the bar at the golf course area. He was extremely kind to do this on such a hot day. I cannot remember his name, but he was a big friendly gentleman. The bartender at the golf club (Steven?) was very friendly. The ladies in the dining room at breakfast were incredible. The pool was nice on a hot day. The parking was helpful and close enough.
