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.
