We stayed at the Brick House Tavern for a couple of nights in May 2013. The location on the main boulevard is fantastic: walk out the front door and you're in the heart of colonial Williamsburg. Staying here adds to the feeling of stepping back in time. The room was quite small, but for the most part we didn't mind.... More

We visited Williamsburg in June 2013 as part of a tour of Virginia. It was our second time staying in the Colonial Houses, and I had requested and been allocated the Robert Orell Kitchen, which is a charming little cottage with a living room, bedroom and two bathrooms in its own grounds. It also has the benefit of being right... More

Colonial Houses accommodations in Williamsburg are great for special occasions! It's like stepping back in time with colonial furnishings with modern conveniences! Go between Jan. 2 and middle of march for cheaper rates!!

We were so thrilled to be able to stay in an original colonial home on our spring break trip with our teenage boys. We stayed at the Brick House Shop just off the main road of Colonial Williamsburg. About 10 minutes after we checked in, we could hear the fife and drums coming down the street! We loved being so... More

From our check in through checkout, this was a fabulous place to stay. The wood plank floors, the canopy bed, the location on the main street of the colonial town, we had a great stay! Everything in the tavern was in period, the living room for the tavern was a great place to relax after a day of exploring the... More

This was our fourth stay in the colonial houses. We were given the Nicholas-Tyler Laundry. That was its name in the colonial era. It was charming! We had two rooms plus the bath. It had a working fireplace. House keeping would bring the firewood and start your fire. If you asked for more wood, they'd be there quickly with another... More

Very nice experience. Good location. Very nice and very clean room. Karen, the innkeeper was friendly and sat down with us at breakfast and just chatted. We love that kind of thing. It makes the stay more personal. The breakfast was good. The location is about a two minute drive to Colonial Williamsburg going past the College of William and... More

We stayed in the Brick House Tavern, on the second floor. There were two twin beds. There stairs were pretty easy to manage, and there was also a room to use in the basement. Pluses: Location: We were right on DoG street, in the center of it all. Can't beat it. Clean: It was pretty clean. The housekeepers were nice.... More

My husband and I wanted a simple get away with just a bit of history. The houses were very nice though a bit loud. We liked that we only had to cross the street to reach the town. The concierge was very helpful in planning our outside activities. The area is central to many historical areas. Our room was next... More

If you are trying to decide on a place to stay in Williamsburg, you should consider staying in one of the colonial houses. The proximity to all the action is unmatched. We stayed at the Brick Shop House for 3 nights with 2 adults and 3 kids, and were able to walk outside our door back in time to 1776!... More
