A loooong narrow rectangular room for a wedding rehearsal dinner, seating approx. 60 persons. Food was above average, and setting was very quaint and charming. We were serving mixed drinks and wine with dinner for our guests. When I asked where they would use the bathroom, I was shown a steep, tight spiral staircase straight down, narrow rock steps, and...

My husband and I were not going to be able to celebrate Valentine's Day on Valentines' this year, so instead we celebrated a day early at the Clifton Inn. The atmospher is very intimate and the food... well it rendered me speechless multiple times. Every dish that came out was better than the one before. The have a seasonal menu,... More

I was working my way up the coast from my winter home in Florida to Boston. I have always wanted to visit Monticello. After being the road for two days. The Inn was a perfect stop. I didn't have to leave the property once I arrived. The suite I had was wonderful the shower was delightful. Plenty of pressure and... More

Stayed here recently for 2 nights, reserved a 'Virginia Suite'. Unfortunately the room we were given 'Rivanna' is directly above the kitchen, and the extractor fans, so opening the windows meant that the smell of frying flooded the room. Sadly, the other window looked directly onto the canopy over the porch. Also, being directly above the kitchen meant that there... More

When we first looked at this review, we found there was a lot of positives ...the restaurant was great ... food is great ... and issues were quickly addressed.... However, there were obviously issues that we don’t usually have which resulted in a disappointing rating that we very rarely get. You can be assured that our whole team has taken... More

Must, must have dinner at The Clifton! The very best I have ever eaten. The shrimp was done to perfection! Can't even describe just how wonderful EVERYTHING was. Well worth the price would drive back just for dinner!

The Clifton Inn is a remarkable place. They do it all for their guests. We arrived, were given a short tour of the property, offered freshly baked cookies, and then were assisted with getting our luggage to our room. The room was just lovely with white furnishings, a stone shower, and a claw tub. We enjoyed afternoon tea on the... More

I spent a single night here in January 2012. It is the perfect country inn. I adored my stay and wish it could have been longer. Upon arrival, I was upgraded to a room in the main house (#4). The room was lovely, with perfect accents, an orchid by the bed, personalized note welcoming me with fruit plate and mediera... More

I booked a one night stay through after viewing a twitter special back in December. We were celebrating a belated birthday for my husband and were just at the property for one night. Check in was pleasant and quick, our bags were promptly brought to our room (the carriage house) and we were free to explore. We walked around the... More

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely country Inn. Our room in the Main House was large and beautifully decorated. We loved the added touch of the decanted Madeira wine. The staff at Clifton are the best! They are attentive without suffocating. With the help of the staff, we planned a lovely day touring the countryside and visiting James... More

My friend and I spent two great days and nights here in December. The staff was very accommodating and always courteous. We arrived late after lunch but were served a great lunch when we asked if we could get something to eat -- even had fresh greens just picked from the garden. The room was very clean, nice and cozy... More
