Roger and Carol run, without a doubt, a superb B&B. Our room, the Norris Room, was large and comfortable. During one of the hottest spells in Leesburg history...106 degrees on July 7, 2012---the window air conditioner operated quietly and kept the room cool. Carol's breakfasts were imaginative and delicious and Roger served them with good humor and fine conversation. For anyone considering a stay in Leesburg, the Norris house should be a must, located in the middle of the downtown, convenient to dining and shopping. If you don't have to go to Leesburg for any other reason, do it to experience and enjoy this fine hostelry and its delightful hosts. Then explore the downtown. You'll fall in love with this gracious old burg. Avoid the visual toxicity of the once lovely countryside, quickly being destroyed by avaricious developers polluting it with grotesque housing and shopping centers.

We were riding the C&O Canal trail to Washington, D.C., on bike. We had reservations at the "other" place in town frequently recommended on bike sites because of price. Then, we realized the ride into Leesburg is not bike safe - ignore the bike sites that tell you it's a quick pedal into town - it starts with a ferry crossing, and then a steep 11/2 lane road with Washington commuters, followed by a 50+mph highway. Roger (with advance coordination and before rush hour) will meet and pick up trail riders; definitely worth the couple extra bucks. The Norris Inn is outstanding. I'm not a B&B guy and especially when you are in close quarters or share bathrooms. Roger and Carol live in a house behind the Inn within walking distance. They have a "bike corale" to store and wash bikes, a garden, food was amazing (got recipe), room was clean and impeccably decorated. They gave us the key to the place and directed us to a great restaurant and a pub with a real jazz band on Wednesdays. I think my next trip to see family in Norfolk may need to be a two-day trip to purposefully stay at Norris House again. Civil war diaries were a plus as well.

Good stuff. My wife and I went for our one-year anniversary and the stay was awesome. Roger and Carol are awesome, wonderful hosts. Rooms are very comfortable and spacious, breakfast was delicious and filling and the location is prime for any of the good restaurants and shops in Leesburg. Easy drive to the wineries around Leesburg as well.

What a fabulous place to stay in a great location. Roger and Carol are outstanding hosts and their attention to detail and exceptional standards are evident throughout this lovely house. I spent 4 nights staying at The Norris House Inn during early May with my husband who was in the US on business and my sister. My husband and I stayed in the Norris room which was beautiful with a very comfortable four poster bed and a full en suite bathroom with whirlpool bath. My sister stayed in an equally comfortable room at the top of the house which she loved. Roger gave us a key to the front door and we could come and go as we pleased, a real home from home and we relaxed immediately. Carol's breakfast menu and cooking, just amazing. Fresh fruit with Ginger drizzle, home made entree with special recipe eggs Norris our favourite. The Inn is located close to many of Leesburg's best restaurants, many Zagat rated. We would recommend Lightfoot, Palios Italian and Tuscarora Mill. Overall a fab stay, we will be back!
