“It felt like we were visiting family!”

We had a lovely candlelit breakfast of French Toast topped with banana and strawberries, sausage, juice, tea, and coffee. My husband declared the French Toast "the best ever."... More

Thank you so much for your kind remarks. Even after more than 26 years, we really appreciate being in this business when we get feedback that tells us we must be doing a good job. By the way, that wasn’t guests coming and going up the stairs. It was me serving breakfast to the other rooms. Guess I’ll have to... More

“Very enjoyable”

Reviewed September 26, 2012

My husband and I enjoyed a very quiet, relaxing weekend at the Governor's Trace B&B. Our hosts, Sue and Dick, were pleasant and very accomodating. The Spotswood Room was clean and comfortable, and we especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast served in our room each morning. The location is excellent -- an easy walk to Colonial Williamsburg.

“Wedding anniversary weekend”

Had a wonderful time, the room was very nice, and the hosts, Dick and Sue were responsive to all our requests. We enjoyed the privacy of the room and especially not having to get dressed and going downstairs to enjoy breakfast. Hard to ask for more.
