I could not have asked for a more restful and beautiful spot to relax than the Claiborne House. I traveled to VA to meet up with friends for a few days and decompress from my business. The B&B sits on a lovely small hill on a tree lined historic residential street overlooking the charming town of Rocky Mount. The huge... more

I took my mom to the Clairborne house for her birthday and we had a very special time together. Upon arriving, we found a special birthday card for mom and complimentary chocolates. A beautiful strawberry cake was in the dining room. She felt honored. The room was clean and the family was helpful. During breakfast we were blessed with special... more

Thank you for the nice review. You were lovely guests. We thoroughly enjoyed you both, you have a great Mom and YOU are a great daughter. Coincidentally my sister and nieces are here from your neck of the woods as I type this bragging about Dungeness crab. God bless, Shellie

We spent three nights at the Claiborne House and it was an excellent choice. We used it as our vacation base and its location put us in easy reach of everything we wanted to see. We sat next to their pond and watched the goldfish, read in the evenings sitting on the porch, and relaxed in the sitting parlor. Our... more

You guys rock! Tony is so pleased when guests relax by the ponds, I cannot tell you thanks enough. Your family history conversation is melded into my guest memory bank. Did I forget to mention that? Innkeepers collect guest memories and stories (like the books you enjoy) it is fun for us to recall all the fantastic guests we have...

Claiborne House Bed and Breakfast totally delighted us. We enjoyed the privacy and quiet of the charming Wash Room Cottage. In the evenings we hung out by the pond. Tony and Shellie have thoughtfully lighted the whole area with lanterns. What a pleasure to be able to relax outside after returning for the evening. They provide delicious and varied breakfasts... more

Thank you for the kind words and the photos. You are very special guests and everyone enjoyed meeting you! You brought a spark to the B&B. I hope you are both over your saddle soreness by now...I know it took me about a week! That is the only problem with horseback riding that I can find...ouch! God Bless, Shellie

My sister, brother and I needed a convenient, comfortable and relaxing place for our families to stay during a recent trip to Franklin County. The Claiborne House fit the bill on all counts and exceeded our expectations. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed with interesting antiques throughout. The breakfasts were filling and delicious. The Claiborne House was just what... more

On my way through Virginia, I wanted to stay at a place with some history and charm, not a cookie-cutter hotel where I may or may not feel safe, since I was traveling alone. The Claiborne House was lovely and surpassed what I was expecting, and I felt perfectly safe there. I was not able to arrive by the 7pm... more

A lovely review, thank you so much! I hope the photo turned out well and wish you could come back and take the same photo under the sugar maple when it is a brilliant orange end of October. The view from your room of that fiery orange tree is breathtaking! God bless, and thank you for what you do! You...

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend and it was great. The owners are friendly and went the extra mile to give my husband and I an anniversary card and chocolates after finding out we were celebrating our anniversary. Our room was extremely clean and the bed was awesome! The breakfast was amazing and we got to meet... more

"BREAK FREE OF THE CHAIN GANG!" You hit it on the head right there. Hotels are disinfectant smelling, impersonal and quite frankly not very nice (unless they overhang a bluff on the ocean...then they are ok) :) You were wonderful guests. Come back and see us soon. God bless, Shellie

We needed to relax from our daily work grind and drove down to visit relatives in South Carolina. I checked online to find a place to stay, relax and be pampered on our way back, and found it in this beautiful historic B&B in Rocky Mount, Virginia. It’s at the beginning of the Crooked Road, and near a lake where... more

Thank you so much for the fabulous review. There was only one major problem with your stay - it needed to be longer! I would feel bad if you never got to swim or kayak in our two 83 degree lakes in summer - or visit our local music wing dings. Please make sure you come and see us again...

Greeted at the front door by the pleasant innkeeper was the beginning of a great stay at The Claiborne House. After showing me my accommodations, I enjoyed relaxing in the parlor with hot tea. The attention to details impressed me... from the amenities offered to the well appointed room! The bed was so comfortable and the lighting was perfect for... more

We loved having you! What better way to whisk the winter doldrums away than great conversation over a hot cuppa! We hope you can visit again soon and bring the hubby along. God Bless, Shellie
