My husband and I were there to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We just had a night and day to get away, we appreciated being able to book a single night. There was parking in the back. Alex was a great host, came right out to help with bags, show us to our room and explain the amenities. We explained our dinner reservations and he gave us directions. We found we were so close that we could have a nice evening walk to dinner and back... it seemed that we were quite close to all we wanted to do. We had a beautiful room on the 3rd floor. I appreciated the evening ability to come and go as we pleased. Breakfast was served in a sunroom on the side with small 2 seater tables, which was a relief that we could have a bit of privacy yet still stay connected with the other guests. Alex made and served a lovely quiche, the best we had ever eaten! Then he kept the conversation light and cheerful as he attended to everyones needs. Checkout was a breeze. We would return and maybe next time we could bring the kids :)

We had a lovely weekend at the Cedars of Williamsburg. We stayed in the Patrick Henry room, which shares the third floor of the house with one other room, so it's very quiet (as long as other guests are considerate, which they were). The decor is neat and pretty, and the room was clean. Alex, the owner, is very friendly, and seems to truly care about his guests' comfort and enjoyment of their visit. He was also kind enough to allow us to check in early! Breakfasts were delicious and filling! I'd recommend arriving earlier in the breakfast hour—due to covid restrictions, not all tables are available. When guests arrived after the tables were full, they were invited to take tea/coffee in the sitting room while waiting for a table to open up.

Oh boy... where to begin... Alex, the host, is very charming and witty. He definitely took our breakfast conversations to the next level (in a fun way). The house itself was super cool and a short walk to Merchants Square. We stayed in the William Lee room and it was just right for us. The parking lot behind the house is good sized and I liked feeling that my car was secure. Each day we were provided with a different breakfast, which we greatly enjoyed. Leroy did a superb job of helping with breakfast. A number of people we interacted with were repeat guests, which says a lot about this bed and breakfast. I can see my Mom and I being repeat guests as well.
Thank you for helping to contribute to the fond memories that my Mom and I have from our December 2019 trip to Williamsburg.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home and for such positive and kind things to say. I'm very grateful that your breakfasts were not only tasty but filled with entertaining conversations. It's just the most fun when we have great guests like y'all interacting and making it enjoyable for everybody. I sometimes get into trouble with breakfast because I've missed appointments because our conversation just kept going! It's all great fun. I'm so blessed to be doing this for a living :-) I'm glad LeRoy could also make your stay enjoyable. He's far more than a breakfast man; his fingerprints are all over the house with many repairs and paint touch ups. Thank you for the kind words. Much more to say but suffice it to say we are grateful for your visit and we look forward to seeing y'all again!

My husband and I had the wonderful experience of staying for 3 nights in this lovely colonial style B&B. As soon as we arrived, Alex came out to help us with our bags and to give us great recommendations about where to go for dinner, which was greatly appreciated. Breakfast was a special treat each morning that we were there, and Alex was, by far, the most entertaining and personable host that we have ever experienced at a B&B. There are so many amazing things to see in the Colonial Williamsburg area, and I'm sure that given the opportunity, we will return to see some of the things that we couldn't fit in on this trip. When we do, we hope to be able to return to this delightful B&B. Thanks, Alex!

You're most welcome! I so loved having both of y'all and your personalities. I said it before: good hosting is impossible without good guests. Loved talking everything with you - we really ran the gamut of discussions! I am so, so thrilled that y'all were able to make it out and see us. Please: when you're back in town, give me a call and let's have another great experience. Loved having you guys. All the best.

Great location and very clean. We were in the Juniper room which was quiet and peaceful, though there was not a fridge as described. Toiletries were not refilled, but linens were replaced. The parking situation was safe. We missed breakfast (from 8-9), but the banana bread smelled great!

My husband and I recently stayed at the Cedars for a few days in Williamsburg. Staying at this bed and breakfast was so much more fun than staying in a chain hotel. We met so many interesting people and had the best conversations. The Inn is beautiful and clean with so many interesting antiques and decorations. Alex entertained us with his witty humor and vast knowledge of history each morning, as well as serving us a wonderful breakfast!
The location is perfect and is just a quick walk away from colonial Williamsburg, great shops and restaurants.
Thank you for the great stay! Hope to stay again in the future!

Wonderful overnight stay at the Cedars Bed and Breakfast! We were greeted by Leroy who showed us around the home and made us feel very welcomed! He provided some great dinner recommendations that were spot on!
We stayed on the first floor in the Martha Washington room and George Washington Suite. The suite was perfect for myself and two children as we had a twin bed to use in a separate sitting room. Rooms were clean and very homey feeling. Even being located on the first floor it was quiet and we felt we had the place to ourselves.
Breakfast the next morning was great! Unlimited coffee starting at 715 was a plus. The banana bread was fresh and so yummy- if you pleased my kids and parents you did well as they can be picky!
We would not hesitate to stay here again and enjoyed the hospitality that went beyond anything we could have imagined! Much better than feeling like just another guest at a chain hotel!

My husband and I planned a much needed, relaxing trip for just the two of us and The Cedars in Williamsburg was a part of our get away! We arrived at 5:30 pm and were immediately greeted by Leroy as we were getting out of our car. Leroy took our bags and showed us into the quaint red brick building. Once inside this beautiful historic house, Leroy asked us about our trip and inquired about our dinner plans, ready with suggestions and a map. It was an incredibly warm welcome. Our room was beautiful and it was evident that much love had been put into the decor. We met Mary, the chef, at breakfast the next morning and again could not get over the hospitality we were shown. The meal was delicious and plentiful all of the 4 mornings we stayed there. The fresh baked banana bread and muffins were outstanding as well as the quiche with shrimp, spinach and feta omelets, oatmeal with blueberries, bacon and more! The conversation was equally as good as well. Leroy and Mary are the epitome of southern hospitality. The rooms are quiet and relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. The bed and breakfast is a stones throw away from everything in Williamsburg. On the last day we got to meet Alex, the owner, who had been away with his family during our stay. We found Alex equally as warm and engaging. We had a wonderful stay and will return!

My husband, another couple, and I visited Williamsburg at the end of the Memorial Day weekend and what a gem we found in the Cedars. Leroy welcomed us when we arrived and graciously showed us our rooms and explained the arrangements. It was great to have a little fridge where we could store a few items we had in our cooler bag and to have newspapers and comfortable lounging spots both inside and out.
Both rooms were exactly as advertised. We had rooms on the main floor of the house. They both felt spacious with their high ceilings. I give the owners credit for creating comfortable bathrooms despite space restrictions. I loved having a chair in my room and endulged myself with a little introvert time after our first day before we headed out to dinner.
The next morning we had the opportunity to meet Alex who was such a delight--it's truly hard to share adequately. He took the opportunity to get to know us and then shared personal experiences which were both interesting and really humorous. Definitely can imagine standup in his future.
We would all highly recommend the Cedars and would revisit again if the opportunity provided.

The B&B is cool place with a nice cozy charm. Stayed 1 night in the Martha Washington, very basic, warm, like staying at an old person’s home in the spare bedroom, bathroom was nice, no tv. Breakfast was good, maybe a little skimpy for a 220lb guy, Im sure the owner is saying something snarky while reading this.

Hello. Currently three of our rooms have a television: George Washington, Juniper, and Dogwood. There is also a television in our main parlor. We do have splendid WiFi so streaming of shows or live broadcasts are feasible too.
Hello there,
We generally like to have an every-other-day mix of savory and sweet meals. Some days it may be an egg and sausage frittata and on others a berry French toast.
Right now we are in our fall seasonal menu which includes baked pears with homemade nutmeg whipped cream, pumpkin pancakes, baked apples, and a baked oatmeal with seasonal fruits (apples, pears, etc.). Meals are generally plated although on some weekends with a full house, it may be a buffet-style.
This winter we will be rolling out new recipes like eggnog French toast and orange gingerbread.
I hope this helps!
There are more places to choose from in the Williamsburg area.
