The staff at the Inn is so helpful and accommodating, the breakfast is delicious. Plus the added bonus of a live history lesson on the Battle of Yorktown during breakfast was so amazing!

Relaxing Long weekend

Beautiful inn ! Great breakfast !Friendly staff ! Don’t stay in room over kitchen !! Can hear all kitchen noise early as they are making breakfast . Also a trip hazard between room and bathroom! I fell there😒We were moved to the monument Grand room ! Absolutely stunning large room with a fireplace! Request that one if you can! No elevators so be prepared to carry your luggage upstairs . This inn is beautiful and i would definitely stay again!

Lovely B&B, staff really friendly and the history is interesting. Unfortunately, we had very early destinations so unable to enjoy the incredible breakfasts that are served. Would recommend it to anyone…especially for the historic surroundings.

We loved our stay at the Hornsby House. Staff member Kat was exceptional. Helping us throughout our stay. The breakfast was wonderful with a variety each morning. We especially enjoyed meeting new people each day as we sat around the breakfast table sharing stories and experiences. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We loved enjoying coffee on the porch watching people and dogs walk by and the occasional deer!

Read through so many reviews of hotels in the area and couldn’t find anywhere to stay with exceptional reviews until I came across the Hornsby Inn. After reading the reviews and experiencing staying here myself I can’t say enough good things! The Hornsby Inn is so quaint, clean, and gave us such a personable experience. The breakfast was amazing and so was the view. The Inn is surrounded by so much history and near the water with a nice area of shops and restaurants. We will definitely be returning 😊

This was an excellent stay. Due to the heat wave our room was upgraded at no charge to a cooler more spacious room. Breakfast was very tasty and the service was very caring. At breakfast we were greeted by the owner himself David Hornsby. He gave us a historical telling of the Hornsby House along with historical facts of the area with respect to the Revolutionary War. It was wonderful. Would definitely stay here again and we plan to do a special event here too.
