“Can't say enough about the Foster Harris House!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 13, 2013 NEW via mobile

So charming, best breakfasts we've ever had, John and Diane could not have been more welcoming hosts. If you are considering a stay at this fabulous B&B, don't hesitate! If you are going for more than one night or are going for one night only and your dinner plans do not involve the Inn at Little Washington, the Foster Harris... More

How do I love you Foster Harris House? Let me count the ways. First the warm glow of your soft lights at sundown beckons me shamelessly.

“Amazing service, food, accomodations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 10, 2013

We stayed here for a 'mini-moon' for a couple nights after our wedding in June 2013. John and Diane offered incredible, warm and friendly service. The room was very comfortable and clean, and the 7:30 AM coffee on the landing is perfect, leading up to what is an unbelievable breakfast. The culinary expertise and love of food that goes into...

“Unbelievable Food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 7, 2013

This guest house is a truly wonderful place. The setting is bucolic with rolling hills and a quaint town. The owners have done an amazing job furnishing their inn and paying attention to details that make one feel at home (Sherry anyone?). We went to dinner at the Inn at Little Washington which was very special as we knew it... More

“Wonderful place to stay with a most welcoming family!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 22, 2013

John and Diane are most welcoming and breakfast was a special treat. I'm glad I found them their B&B as an alternative to the Little Inn at Washington. The location, ambiance, and feel of the place was wonderful.

“Better food than The Inn!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 22, 2013

The Foster Harris House is a wonderful value! The rooms are spacious and their breakfasts can not be beat. If you feel you must experience The Inn at Little Washington, go there and spend $300 too much for an over rated dinner in gaudy surroundings but don't waste another $800. for a room - stay at The Foster Harris House...

“Birthday weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2013

We stayed at the Inn the night we had a Birthday celebration at the Inn at Little Washington. We went expecting to be wowed by our dinner (and we were!), but we came away equally impressed by our accommodations and fantastic breakfast at the Foster Harris House. Every detail for our comfort had been considered. John greeted us upon arrival... More

“Foster Harris House Inn experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

"Romantic Escape." If you think that phrase is overworked in reviews then try staying at Foster Harris House Bed and Breakfast in Washington, VA. My wife and I did, when we celebrated her birthday. It was romantic. It was an escape. A "romantic escape." Open land and distant mountains. A quiet road through the heart of the tiny town. In... More

“Exceeded our expectations!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

Having been to Washington VA once before and stayed at the Inn at Little Washington, my wife and I were looking for another venue for our overnight stay. I must say we could not have been happier with our choice. From the moment we checked in, John and Diane went out of their way to make us feel at home.... More
