The service here is tremendous. Lovely people from top to bottom.

Delicious three course dinner.

Excellent massage by Lisa.

If tall, I wouldn't recommend staying in The Lookout - but if short in stature like hubby and me, the room is quaint. Nice touches - Keurig coffee maker and iPad in the room.

Will definitely come back in the Spring for another overnight - will bring bikes and hit the C&O trail, visit a winery, enjoy a delicious dinner and just relax and unwind!

This place had good and bad - we stayed in the Farmhouse, which had a lot of great modern amenities (two tvs, fireplace, nice shower, nice kitchen with limited use allowed), which we certainly enjoyed, but it is a couple miles from the inn. It's also across from a fragrant cow pasture - I didn't mind, but it probably should be mentioned.

The big deficit was in the details though. Other b&bs I've been to, the owner or innkeeper knows your name before you arrive and go out of their way to make the experience special throughout (at one especially nice b&b of similar size I've even seen the owner cleaning the rooms and doing home repair) -- not so here. You just get the feeling that it's a large operation with paid employees who don't know you from Adam, more like a hotel than a b&b, with less owner involvement.

The biggest kicker though, and the reason I knocked my score down to a solid 3, was that the breakfast room is next to the service entrance. On a particularly cold and rainy morning, the door right behind us was left open for several minutes while supplies were delivered and brought downstairs, flooding the dining room with frigid air (probably bringing the dining room temp down to 55 for the remainder of the meal). Then, to make matters worse, one of the staff sat down behind us with the delivery guy and started going over the order of windex, water, etc. right behind us -- it's a "bed and breakfast" -- where's the ambiance for one half of that? Other than that, random staff walked back and forth through the dining room throughout breakfast, making us almost feel we were in people's way. And the breakfast is good, if not overly artful. So, like I said, not a bad place, just luxury prices without luxury feel imo.

We spent a wonderful night at Hillbrook. This place is expensive, but it is worth every penny. We stayed in one of the cottage rooms; it was wonderful: nicely decorated, with a comfy king-sized bed and jacuzzi tub. Dinner and the tavern were great as well.
I think the highlight of Hillbrook is the atmosphere; although it is conveniently close to Charles Town (wonderful to explore itself), it seems to be in the middle of the English countryside. Lots of wildlife and quiet and serene.
The staff goes out of their way to assure a good time; wonderful and attentive.
My only regret is we did not get to stay long enough!

My husband and I spent New Years Eve here. The location was quiet and beautiful. The staff kind and attentive. The room "The Look Out" was cozy and wonderfully fun! The rooms all come with an iPad that you can use for concierge service, watching Netflix, or looking up a map before you hit Charles Town. I would definitely recommend this place, especially to those who like a good gourmet breakfast in the morning! :)
