Outstanding B&B!

An amazing stay in Appomattox. The property is charming, very clean, owner very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was outstanding! There are multiple porches, patios, and balconies to find a nice quiet place to relax and unwind. The room we had worked well for a family of three. Beds are comfortable and the shower in the updated bathroom felt so good.

In the area for Parents Weekend at Longwood University. A 30 minute drive. The room was very comfortable, shower was awesome and our hostess went out of the way to get us ice and decaf hot tea for my wife. Breakfast was great and we enjoyed sitting in the living room before leaving Sunday morning. This B&B will be our first choice if we ever need to spend the night in the Farmville area. 5 stars!!!

Unexpected Gem of a country Inn

We booked a quick weekend retreat to visit the national D-Day memorial in Bedford and any other things. Our room was comfortable, spacious and well appointed; just sorry we did not have more time to take advantage of all common rooms in our one night stay. \The Inn is a short trip to Lynchburg and we thoroughly recommend this to anyone visiting that area. There are nearby attractions like Appomattox historical site, and the Maier museum at Randolph College in Lynchburg has a superb collection of American impressionist artists; for a small free museum it can rival many museums in Europe in quality if not size. The staff was pleased to discuss the collection and the museum should be on “bucket list” of every art lover in this region. We also dined at the inn and could not have been more pleased. Our meal rivaled many in Paris in our recent visit. The restaurant is not routinely open so if they offer you dinner, do not miss this Michelin Guide quality food and service. Also visit the National D-Day memorial in Bedford. We have frequently been to D-Day beaches in Normandy itself, and the American cemetery (opening/closing scenes of Saving Private Ryan) with my WWII Veteran parents and other visitors. This simple monument in rural VA will help to understand D-Day, and the 22 of 32 Bedford soldiers in the first wave at Omaha beach among the thousands killed that day. It left an enormous lump in our throats. So memorable.
