The Pembroke Room in the historic Holladay House

The Pembroke Room is in the oldest portion of the Holladay House, built around 1830. With its location in downtown Orange, wineries, historic homes, battlefield parks, Charlottesville, and much more are all short drives from the house.

The Pembroke is one of four guest rooms on the second floor and one of only two in the original, 1830's portion of the house. Because of its location in the pre-plumbing part of the house, the Pembroke's bathroom is located in the hall outside the bedroom door; two bathrobes are provided to Pembroke guests for that three-step trip :-).

On the first floor are the common-use parlor, study, and dining room (as well as the hosts' quarters); two guest rooms are located on the basement/parking entrance level.

Members of different First Families of Virginia have lived in or visited the Holladay House during its ~200-year existence, including Madisons, Pages, and Taliafferos. JEB Stuart attended a wedding reception here when Lee's army spent the winter of 1863-64 in Orange.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a balcony and space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bathrobes. Other standard amenities include a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.

Convenient Orange location

I have previously stayed at this location when it was operated as a bed and breakfast, this time it is only a lodging spot with complimentary drinks which was conveyed in the listing. The home is lovely and easily located in Orange, with quick access to many historical areas. While the Fenton is listed as having a bathroom, which it does, it is a tiny water closet at best. There is no standard size mirror or sink, the shower is also quite small. Overall, our stay was fine, but I did not like the ridiculously small bathroom.

Wonderful Stay in the Fenton Room

Pat & Monica made the check in process seamless. The room was so charming with everything we needed to enjoy our time in Orange. The Thornhill home was marvelous as a whole, as well.
