The owners of this property were absolutely wonderful and I would seriously consider staying there again. That said if you want a modern 5 star hotel this is not the place for you. Bed was comfortable but the room itself was not very large with limited space for luggage. Bathroom on the other hand was quite large. Due to age of the inn itself the floor were somewhat uneven in places.

Outstanding B&B!

An amazing stay in Appomattox. The property is charming, very clean, owner very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was outstanding! There are multiple porches, patios, and balconies to find a nice quiet place to relax and unwind. The room we had worked well for a family of three. Beds are comfortable and the shower in the updated bathroom felt so good.
