“So much history...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2012

We had a fabulous time. We stayed at the Martha Washington room: overlooks the street but it is very quiet. Breakfast is good and healthy, especially after our early morning walk through town. Service is excellent. We had dinner at the tavern the first night: delicious food using local produce, and very romantic atmosphere. The place transports you back in time with its typical "country inn" atmosphere. It is full of history: from a Civil War hospital and headquarters, to hosting Jackie Kennedy every time she attended the fox chases.

Room Tip: We had a corner room overlooking the street. Was worked at the beginning but loved it. Very quiet...

“Vintage Charm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 13, 2012

The bedroom was lovely with a canopy bed and white duvet cover and bedding in a quiet, private entrance room in the Stray Fox. The bathroom was fitted with plenty of nice towels and toiletries, and robes were provided. A full breakfast was included. We have stayed here a number of times and always pleased. The bedroom and bath both were spotlessly clean.

Room Tip: Stray Fox rooms are very private.

“Red Fox Inn, authentic Middleburg”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 7, 2012

What a wonderful slice of classic VIrginia hospitality. Charming and helpful staff, sweet surroundings--loved the boxwoods, the flowering shrubs, the four poster canopied bed. While the weekend in Middleburg was busy--it was Sidewalk Sale weekend, the Red Fox was quiet and civilized.

Room Tip: I stayed in #28, a corner room in the Stray Fox building and it was private, quiet and perfectly sun...

“Historic, charming, and in the heart of Middleburg”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 29, 2012

I spent two nights at this historic little inn and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had a suite that felt more like a tiny apartment with a hallway connecting a separate sitting room, a bedroom with fireplace and a nice sized, updated bathroom. The staff is very attentive and the dining room serves wonderful food. I had dinner there once and breakfast twice. Everything I ordered was superb. The surrounding streets ooze with historic charm, so it's a nice location for an evening stroll or morning walk.

Room Tip: The website has photos of each room. Very helpful.

“I wish I could give this place NO STARS!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 29, 2012

Wow! What a horrible place to dine. From start to finish it was just a disaster. The hostess, i think her name was Joann was awful and rude and didn't even try to crack a smile. We came in this past week and the service was so slow that by the time we got our food I wasn't even hungry anymore. The food was cold and the steak was so tough. It is obvious that they do not get good quality steaks. They were chewy and I asked for a Med Rare steak and got a Medium well steak with barely any pink inside. When I told the waitress how bad it was, she did nothing! The manager never came by and they never even asked if they could get me something else. I am just appalled that this restaurant even has business with how bad the evening was. We will NEVER return again and I would tell anyone else to do the same.

Room Tip: Do not stay here!
