My fiance and I stayed at Smithfield Farm on a last minute weekend getaway a few weeks ago and it was absolutely incredible! We arrived later in the afternoon, signed the guestbook and headed upstairs to our room. The room is huge and absolutely beautiful, I couldn't believe we had snagged the last open room just a few days before. We stayed in the Jacquelin room. We didn't have an attached bathroom but had a dedicated bathroom across the hall that was enormous. There was a big soaking tub that I unfortunately didn't take advantage of (had we stayed more than one night I absolutely would have) as well as a spacious shower. The area around the main house is stunning, and they allow you to walk all around the property at your leisure. The backyard area had a couple little sitting areas and since the weather was nice we took our drinks outside and spent some time hanging out under the gazebo. There's also a farm store on property that is definitely worth checking out. We stocked up on honey from hives that are right there on the farm that was absolutely delicious. They also had lots of fresh meat and cheese, as well as homemade bbq sauce and canned jams. Speaking of delicious, the breakfast served by Ruth and Betsy was to die for. I'll be honest, I'm not really an eggs & sausage kind of girl, but it was incredible. My fiance was even shocked that I ate all of it. Literally the best breakfast I've had in a LONG time. Starting with coffee and tea, they also had fresh biscuits and fruit and then brought out a plate of eggs, sausage and potatoes. I'm sure this all changes seasonally but I'm betting no matter the season that the food is amazing. Ruth and Betsy are the sweetest hosts, they were so kind to us and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay and we will most certainly be back! …
After reviewing TripAdvisor, my husband and I decided to stay at Smithfield Farm’s B and B during our trip to explore my family’s ancestral history. What a wonderful and relaxing experience! For those who love history, it is an opportunity to step back in time. The house and farm was built in the early 1800’s and every building has a story. Ruth and her daughter, Betsy, are descendants of the original owners and very congenial hostess’. The house is set in the country with beautiful gardens, a koi pond and farm animals. After a long day of exploring, we were able to sit under the gazebo or by the Koi pond to watch the sunset and fireflies. For those with health concerns, Smithfield Farms was very clean and well maintained. Our visit to Smithfield Farms exceeded our expectations. This is not just someplace to “stop over”, but rather a destination getaway. Thank you Ruth and Betsy for sharing your lovely family home.…
What a wonderful and relaxing stay my wife and I had in this charming B&B. Before I get started on the actual place, I want to say a few words about Ruth and Betsy. We originally booked this stay 2 years (a lifetime?) ago. But due to a family emergency and then COVID, we weren't able to come until now. They literally held and honored our reservation from 2 years ago!?! And on top of that, due to some rearranging of the B&B during COVID, there was a price differential from 2 years ago, which they let us make up for in the farm store (which we would have bought things from anyway). They are lovely people and made the stay that much better. In terms of the place, the house is a charming house with loads of history. The bedrooms are comfortable and the food was fantastic. The grounds are gorgeous and a true working farm. They have a nice hiking trail around the property which is amazing. It is surrounded by a bunch of cute small towns and great food within short drives. It was relaxing and everything we were hoping it would be. We highly recommend a stay here!…
Our family (incl. 2 small kids) made a special trip to the farm from inside the beltway to pick up some farm fresh proteins and to just kill some weekend time. The country air and beautiful scenery felt especially decadent amid this quarantine. Can’t wait to enjoy some farm fresh omelettes and grass fed beef burgers soon! Will be back!
On our way back from Chautauqua, NY we made plans to stay at the Smithfield Farm B&B. Having never stayed there we did not know what to expect other than what we saw on the website. What an incredible surprise! The house has been lovingly restored by the owners over an 11 year time frame and is decorated with exquisite tastes. The location is in the middle of an organic farm managed by the 8th generation of the original family who still farm the land. The wonderful night and morning we spent there was wonderful.....peaceful, and invigorating. We would certainly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
We booked a room for one night when the chance came to get away from our kids for a night for a belated 15th Anniversary celebration. What a wonderful choice it turned out to be! This is a beautifully appointed B&B with friendly, attentive inn keepers - Ruth was so welcoming and gracious, taking the time to show us around and ensure we were settled in when we arrived, and spending a lot of time talking with us about how she and her late husband restored the property. Her daughter Betsy prepared the best breakfast I've had in years - most of the ingredients came straight from the farm, and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. We booked the "Honeymoon" cottage - the former summer kitchen. Even during a historic heat wave, the building was cool and comfortable, and the main house was fully stocked with cool drinks and thoughtful extras - sunscreen in case we'd forgotten any, light snacks and beverages. The property is quiet, peaceful, and well-maintained. Because of the heat wave, we didn't hike much, but did enjoy lazing in the hammock in the shade, listening to the sounds of the country. We loved everything about this place and the family that runs it. We ended our stay by visiting the Smith Meadows fair store on the property, and stocked up a large cooler worth of fresh eggs and meat. We will definitely return as often as we can, and refer our friends to this wonderful get-away.…
We stayed two nights and found Smithfield Farm B&B to be quiet and relaxing. Ruth and Betsy are welcoming and informative inn keepers. The house is gorgeous, well furnished, and quiet. There are a few rooms for reading and relaxing, and a nice garden area out back as well. Betsy made hearty and amazing breakfasts using some of their own farm-fresh products. Our room (Wellford)was tastefully furnished with a large en-suite bathroom. We felt it a privilege to stay in this grand historical home. Check our their farm store on the property for homemade jams, honey, and their own meat products. Hope to return to this fabulous B&B!
My girlfriend and I stayed one night and had a very pleasant visit. Ruth is a friendly host and made us feel welcome. Our room was comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. We are not into overdone decor and trappings. Smithfield is comfortable, grand but not pretentious. It is a very old manor house on a working farm. We enjoyed our stay and do so again.
Outstanding all-around. Lovely, historic inn, lovely farm, great food, splendid hospitality. Surrounded by lovely countryside and roads. We enjoyed strolling the grounds and loading up on great organic food in the store. Fantastic value.
My daughter and I stayed at Smithfield Farm for her December nursing school graduation from Shenandoah University in Winchester. What a treat! Betsy had us in the downstairs suite, with two bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen (I hadn't expected that). Coming from California, I'm not used to anything that's been around longer than 100 years, so staying in a home that's been around since before the Civil War was a first! (The bathroom entrance was a little trippy, but easily fixed by draping a rug over the doorway.) Betsy could not have been a better host: she accommodated my celiac daughter and GF me with delicious, photo-worthy breakfasts. I'd love to return in the spring sometime.
