It was a crisp fall day when we checked into the Rosemont Manor. We chose the Nixon suite because of its larger size and a sun porch. The room was quite nice except for the rather bad Nixon portrait and a few stink bugs. I guess we will have to choose a different room next time.
After unpacking we explored some of the other rooms which had yet to be occupied. All were very well decorated with themes based upon historical figures who had visited the Manor.
In the late afternoon, we were treated to wine, cheese and other snacks.
The town of Berryville has some very good places to eat or one could drive a few miles more to Winchester for a broader selection.
That night we were quite pleased with the comfort of the queen sized bed and slept very well.
The next morning we had a great breakfast which included three ginger pancakes with a dollop of vanilla yogurt topped with apple-butter jam, link sausage and baked apples. Yum-Yum.
In our package we were given passes to three nearby boutique wineries; each with their own variety of grapes and ways of creating some interesting wines. Rosemont also packed us a picnic basket lunch including a chicken wrap, chips, apple, cookies, bottled water and wine. Because of the excellent weather, we were able to enjoy a wonderful lunch on the road in a very scenic area of Virginia.
There is no television, so we brought reading material to enjoy before going to bed.
Breakfast the next morning included half of a pear accented with Devonshire cream, three cheese omelet, Canadian bacon and corn muffins. The service both mornings was outstanding.
We also were very pleased with all the other staff at the Rosemont.
This was a nice getaway with many interesting things to do or not do.

As a mid week get away, my wife and I traveled about 90 miles to the Rosemont Manor in Berryville. It is an historic, wonderfully landscaped, very relaxed bed and breakfast. It was very pleasant rocking in the chairs on the large porch enjoying the view of the grounds and mountains in the distance. Our room was decorated nicely and was comfortable. Breakfast was really tasty. The staff was very welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed this mid week get away.

Wonderful historic Mansion with huge rocking chairs on the enormous portico. Friendly staff and great accomodations. Beautifully landscaped grounds with acres of walking area. A nice quiet place to relax and get away from all the stress in our lives. Breakfasts were delicious and they have a room with complimentary snacks, water bottles, sodas and ice available at all times.

Myself and my best friend went for tea this past weekend under a Groupon deal. I have been to multiple teatimes here in the US and overseas. They do things a little different at this location…..they call it more US or Virginia themed. Upon arriving you are welcomed in the carriage house to pay any residual monies, sign up your email, which they use to give away a free future teatime, get your table assignment and sip on "fizzle tea" while you wait. The GM gave a brief description of the lands and told us of the tour planned. We separated into two groups in which one goes to the parlor and "The Roosevelt Suite" and then you go to the portico. Then you find your table in what used to be the library. We were joined by 3 ladies at our 5 top. I personally like to only be seated with the person I came with so we can converse quietly and privately. This was a little off-putting FOR ME because there was no way to have a private conversation....but socializing with other people is fine. The other problem is that when they bring the food out on the typical tiered platters and even though they give you two of each type of finger foods, the other patrons sometimes can be rude or gross....touching your food (tongs were not provided) or "stealing" your portion. Also, I had to flag down the GM because no one at our table or a few other tables had napkins, he looked mortified and we got some about 4 mins later. The first tea was okay, not that flavorful....a black blend. Oh, and you had no choice but to use the milk provided or regular cubed sugar (no splenda)....and that is IF you had enough milk for everyone. The chicken salad on banana bread was delicious and my favorite. I did not like the egg salad it had some herbs or seasonings I could not stand. The cucumber sandwich was very good. The two scones were very good and of two different flavors. Again, the other people at the table had to share the Devonshire cream and two preserves...second time around I got a pinkie of cream and had to use the other preserves. The accompanying tea was my favorite. Then the sweets came out. This was the most disappointing. An apple slice with caramel (I can make this at home), a brownie wedge (again I can make this at home) and a white chocolate rose (I can buy this)....the ONLY good thing about this round was the Lemon Verbena ice cream, WOW, that was amazing. The tea which was a "apple martini" or something was very basic. After the tea was done they announced the winner of the free teatime and introduced the main chef. We were adjourned to roam the manor and rooms then. The suites are all very nice and spacious, my favorite was probably "The Kennedy Suite" but the guestrooms were cramped. I probably would never go back for the teatime again but I may consider staying here one night as a weekend getaway or something...just to see what that is like. Oh, the service was pretty good, not very attentive but she did come around once more with each round of tea to see if we wanted more, although, during the second round, we got our tea almost 10 mins after the food came out.
