Stayed at Colonial Gardens Williamsburg for our 30th anniversary in 2017. Stayed at a different B&B in Williamsburg in 2018, and it was a disappointment (see review for Cedars of Williamsburg.). So, we decided to revisit Colonial Gardens this year. This is a lovely home, with lovely grounds, even in the winter. The public areas are warm and inviting, and the four guest rooms are elegant without being pretentious. When we arrived, however, it was somewhat strange to find a note on the front door with my name. The note included instructions and a welcome message. Apparently, we were the only guests for that evening, and the hostess was going to be a tad late. The note said to make ourselves comfortable, so we did. I must mention that we were upgraded to the Primrose suite, even though we specifically booked the Library on the first floor, because stairs are a challenge. We managed to climb the stairs without incident, and were very pleased with the Primrose. Found out later that contractors were behind on work on the Library, which is why we were moved. My only complaint, but more just a concern, is that I thought we shyhave been notified of the change, since I was very special to why we wanted to be on the main level. Within a short time, Salem, our hostess, knocked on our door and welcomed us. Salem is a lovely and charming young woman, and made us my favorite breakfast . . . eggs Benedict. Breakfast was perfect, and I pride myself on knowing perfect Eggs Benedict. Although part of the charm if a B&B is meeting other guests, it was a bit of a guilty pleasure to have the house all to ourselves. Wanted to book two nights next December, but the can only book nine months out. I will be calling Colonial Gardens next April for sure. Sorry for being so wordy, but know that this is a beautiful property and we strongly recommend you try it if you are in the Williamsburg area.…
Incredibly clean and neat rooms, delicious breakfast, and friendly staff! The inn is only a few minutes from the downtown area, which was perfect for us. My husband and I spent most of our stay touring the colonial area. Tons of great restaurants and shops nearby too, the innkeeper had quite a few recommendations. We would definitely stay again
My fiancé and I had never been to a B&B, and we are so glad that this was our first! The staff was so kind, very helpful, the breakfast was beyond delicious, and made you feel like royalty!! We loved the sunroom and the checker board that stays out for guests to play. We stayed in the Rhododendron Suite and it was so comfortable with plenty of space to just relax, and enjoy each other’s company. We will most definitely be staying here when we come back to Williamsburg! Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for people to come and visit!
This place looks very different from pictures presented on the web. It is a small house 5 minutes driving from center of Williamsburg. You definitely need a car! We stayed in a suite, king size bed was pretty comfortable, a cot provided for a third person not so. Bathroom was kind of outdated, as the whole furniture in the room. Shampoo and soap was not provided when needed if used (nit during our 7 day stay). Eventhough we were supposed to have a breakfast, we did not have one in 7 days, as we wanted to have it on our first day, but was refused to us with reasoning that it is served at 9.00. We came for breakfast at 9.25 though. Just strange... Our overall impression was that we would not stay there again if not forced...
From the moment we booked this room until we checked out it was a wonderful experience! We went for a mother/daughter getaway. The owner takes pride in the house and it’s history. The room was perfect. We stayed in the Azalea Suite which was perfect as there is a king bed and daybed in a separate room. So many comforts of home are provided. The location of the home is convenient to everything we wanted to do. Breakfast was delicious and served with our choice of coffee or tea. We would definitely recommend!
