    Perfect getaway
    We stayed for a week, on our first real vacation since the pandemic began. We were very comfortable and felt at home right away. Thom is so gracious and welcoming, and makes excellent breakfasts! We loved meeting the pup, Aida as well. The week was a good balance between relaxing on the porch and getting out to some beaches and nature trails. The Spinning Wheel is in a convenient location, walking distance to restaurants and the wharf in town, and well situated for exploring other parts of the Eastern Shore. We are already planning to return next spring.

    A Terrific Experience
    My wife and I stayed at Thom and Linda Nolan's Spinning Wheel Bed and Breakfast in the quaint town of Onancock in early June. We were there to visit a long-time friend who had moved to Onancock. We have a little dog, Bandit, that we were traveling with and Thom and Linda have a wonderful first-floor pet-friendly room that was perfect. The Spinning Wheel is obviously a labor of love for Thom and Linda. It is clean, rustic, filled with hundreds of curiosities, full of light, and best of all, it has two of the most interesting innkeepers we've ever met. Our biggest problem was that our conversations with Thom and Linda were so interesting that we arrived late at our friend's house on a couple of occasions! Most interesting of all is that Thom Nolan is a musician and singer and a member of a music ensemble called the "3 Sheets". For breakfast, Thom put on his delightful CD "The Light of Assateague", and my wife and I had a delicious egg souffle while listening to Thom's wonderful singing and playing. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase the CD during our stay and it has given my wife and me hours of enjoyment. My wife and I loved the "Blue Room" where we stayed. The bed was fantastic. The walls were painted a beautiful blue and had amazingly interesting historic mantels. The bathroom was serviceable and it was easy access to the front door. The dining room is painted in a bright yellow and has a wonderful eastern exposure so you have breakfast with sunlight streaming in. Also, Thom makes a great cup of Joe. Breakfast came with a wonderful fresh fruit and toast accompaniment to the souffle. All in all, my wife and I had a wonderful time at the Spinning Wheel. Thom and Linda are fantastic people and we felt like old friends when we left. You can feel the good Karma at the Spinning Wheel and don't forget to ask Thom to sing you song! The next time we return, my wife and I will definitely go hear Thom and the "3 Sheets" perform!

I just spent 4 nights at the Spinning Wheel B&B. It’s a beautiful Victorian home and very comfortable. Thom is a great host and his breakfasts are excellent! I loved sitting on the front porch and enjoying the early mornings and evenings. I walked to dinners in town in the evenings and found everyone so friendly and welcoming. I hope to get back again next summer and would look forward to another enjoyable stay at the Spinning Wheel!

My husband and I spent one night at the Spinning Wheel B&B. The B&B's victorian home is located on a quiet street within an easy walking distance to all that the town has to offer. Our hosts Thom and Linda were kind and helpful, the room was quaint and well decorated. The breakfast was freshly cooked by Thom and delicious! We enjoyed the company of Chudley, the friendly dog. You feel like you are at home in the country, when staying at the Spinning Wheel.

I am a student who was staying at the B&B for a few months. I stayed in the cottage in the backyard. I'm really not able to speak to the rooms that guests typically get or the quality of the breakfast. I can say that Thom and Linda are very welcoming hosts. They can offer a recommendation on many of the places around Onancock and the rest of the Eastern Shore. The front porch is a nice place to sit and relax. Gives you the feeling you've got nothing better to do than let your mind wander.

Staying a night or two with Thom and Linda as our hosts has been delightful both times we visited their B&B. Dogs are welcome in their one downstairs guest room. Breakfast made by Thom in the sunny dining room was a tasty and perfect beginning to a new day of travel and exploration. We love traveling the more relaxed eastern shore on our way south to the Carolinas or Florida, and Onancock is a welcoming little town we discovered a few years back. Comfortable bed in a quiet room with friendly, knowledgeable hosts!

I stayed here for 2 nights & loved every minute. Thom & Linda, the hosts, knew great places to eat & visit in the area. I took the boat from Onancock to Tangier Island (a pleasant day trip) & had a great meal at Mallards Restaurant on my return. The next day I headed up to Chincoteague for 2 days -- only a 40 min. drive. There's plenty to see on the Eastern Shore. Don't let dismal, boring Rt. 13 fool you; go off the beaten path! (p.s. My regards to friendly, beautiful Chudley)

My husband and I stayed here for two nights and the hosts Thom and Linda were wonderful. We traveled by bicycle and they let us bring our bikes to the room since we had our gear on them. Their B&B is close to town and several great restaurants so we were able to walk there for dinner. Thom knows how to cook up a great breakfast and even prepared foods that were good energy for our cycling travels. Their 3 legged dog Chudley was a great host as well and Linda even let me use her personal hair dryer since I didn't have one. We had a wonderful adventure staying at their B&B.

Due to an unexpected trip we had to make to this area last month, my husband and I were delighted with our choice of the 1890 Spinning Wheel B&B in Onacock, VA. We were graciously welcomed by Chudley's non-threatening barks and the Nolans as our wonderful hosts. Our first floor room was charmingly decorated with its own bathroom. Thom provided us with delicious vegetarian breakfasts "southern style" with no difficulty as requested upon our arrival. The local eateries conveniently located within walking distance of the B&B are worth a visit as well. We highly recommend this B&B and will definitely stay here again!
