Turned out to be a great decision. The Innkeeper met us and gave us a short tour and history of the property and showed us some of the rooms. What a great building and location! We stayed in the Washington Suite and there was only one other guest there that night, so it was like we had the whole place to ourselves. That night we had a bottle of sparkling wine outside by one of their fire pits. In the morning, we got up early and walked around the property. They have a boat house with kayaks and fishing rods for guests. There's an historic cemetery on the property where a relative of the British Royal Family lays at rest. The breakfast was wonderful. Again, there was just one other guest there, but the kitchen offered their full menu. The food was delicious, service was great and overall it was an excellent experience. Could not have asked for a better stay.

Upon check-in, we were told we needed to put a card on file--which was expected--but then were informed of a $130 hold being placed on it. This was never mentioned during booking, and our room had already been paid in full. Once we got to our room (after needing our key cards reactivated three separate times), we discovered the AC was barely working. I reported it to the front desk and was told to "wait until night" to see if it improved. It didn't. The pull-out couch was incredibly uncomfortable--thin padding with metal bars digging into your back all night. We also had to call maintenance because the toilet wouldn't flush. Turns out, it needed to be rebuilt. WiFi was another issue. It only worked if you were standing right by the door. Anywhere else in the room? Zero signal. While the staff were friendly and the pool was nice, the splash pad area was shut down for the first day and a half of our stay. Everything around the resort felt like it was "off-season" despite being the middle of summer. The putt-putt course was completely unmanaged, several buildings on the property were visibly falling apart, and the onsite restaurant was closed. Breakfast was underwhelming and overcrowded. It seemed like anyone could just walk in and eat--even people not staying at the hotel--which added to the chaos. The website also advertised golf, but there was zero mention or sign of it during our entire stay. For the price we paid and the additional resort fees, we expected much more. Unless those fees actually go toward providing a fun and well-maintained experience for families, I wouldn't stay here again.

My husband and I stayed here for a midweek getaway and had a pretty lovely time! As wine people,…read morethe proximity to the tasting room and the gorgeous scenery was a big plus. We spent one entire afternoon just sitting on the patio and enjoying a drink. There are so many great things about this hotel. It's got an excellent old world vibe, the beds are big and comfy, the rooms are spacious, and service is courteous. You can easily drive into the historic part of Williamsburg. I was also worried about the temperature of the room - it's quite large and tall, so I expected the air to be painfully cold to compensate, but our room was always a pleasant temp. I knocked down one star for the terrible sound insulation. I understand that this is an old property, but it's also a hotel where people want to sleep - I should not be able to hear every conversation of the people next door or, the absolute worst, every rumbling footstep of the person above us. It was especially awful the last day when our upstairs neighbor woke up at their usual 7:30 time and spent two hours packing. I didn't bring this up to staff because I had already unpacked and gotten settled in that first night and it felt like quite a hassle to potentially move rooms. I do hope they invest in a way to improve sound insulation, and if I stay here again it would only be on the top floor.

Let me lead with the good stuff. The employees were first rate. Helpful. Welcoming. They took…read moreeffort to remember you and ask about plans, and followed up with inquiries about how the day went. We felt respected and valued. The location was also good, if it's what you want. Basically we were less than 15 minutes from everything. So just far enough away that it was an escape, but close enough that you're not spending forever in the car just to get somewhere. The breakfasts were also good. Though it was mostly a set menu, so little change between days. That's sadly where I have to end with the positives. The whole hotel felt like it was once lavish and beautiful, but has since been neglected and permitted to fall into disrepair. Everywhere you looked you would see something in need of attention. Drywall corner tape was peeling throughout our room. Leaks had been repaired (I hope) but the damage to the walls and ceiling had not. Sections of outside trim was missing (a welcome invitation to critters). The pool tiles were mostly cracked or damaged which could be extreme hazardous to bare feet. Fixtures and fittings throughout the hotel clearly had been installed with little to no attention to detail. Like i said, it looked nice once upon a time, but needs A LOT of effort and money spent on it to get back to that level. The price they're charging today doesn't match. The cleanliness of the room was also far from acceptable. Under the bed and sofa clearly hadn't been cleaned in a year. Surfaces that were in eye sight were dusty, pet hair was in the carpet, and we found used tissues and makeup pads in the room after we checked in. There are spider webs on the ceiling of the lobby, and dust caked into the air vents (improperly installed I might add) in the bathrooms. We also ran out of shampoo and body wash on the second day.... meaning these were not checked between guests. The hair dryer was broken. The shower head was so powerful it hurt to use. There were never any cushions on any of the outdoor furniture. And part of the pool area was covered in fruit berries from a tree rendering it unusable. Not once cleaned in the 4 days we stayed. Not to mention trash in the flower beds that had not been cleaned up from other guests. But maybe worse (certainly more inconvenient) than that, there is no WiFi or cell service in the hotel. So any planning of activities, uber orders, keeping touch with work/family has to be done away from the hotel. And though we didn't plan on any TV watching, the TVs don't work. So don't plan on any internet or TV access during your stay despite it being listed as an amenity. Once upon a time this could have been a grand place to stay, and it seems like the owners are still living in the past. Despite the above, we enjoyed our time, but won't visit again. 2 stars is honestly pretty generous a review.

(This visit was made during the times of Covidious earlier this month. When things return to a look…read moreof normality - your experience likely will vary.) So, if you've ever been to Colonial Williamsburg and needed a place to stay, you know that every hotel chain on planet earth has one of their lower tiered brands on Bypass Road and/or some timeshares in the nearby vicinity. But if you really want to be "close to the action", you can stay a CW affiliated property and the most unique of the lot are the Colonial Houses. Let me start by saying that the hardest part of this experience is simply knowing what choices you have. Why? In 2021 I think it's safe to say that most people when they reserve a room like to see an actual or generalized picture of said accommodations along with a basic idea of where the actual property is located. If you want that here, good f-ing luck because it doesn't exist. How it works: Go to their website and put in your dates of stay along with the number of people in your party. Available Colonial House properties show up along with pricing and then you choose one. What's crazy is that CW on their website doesn't offer a map of where their Colonial House properties are located nor do all of the properties offer any pictures as to what the rooms look like or even what the property looks like. What's even crazier is that when you cross-reference that concept with the dough that they charge, it's a hell of a leap of faith for something that you can't fully research before they expect you to plunk down $400 or more. We stayed at the Nicholas-Tyler Laundry which is across the street from the Magazine and on the grounds of the Williamsburg Lodge (which by the way is where you check in for all Colonial Houses). Why this one? A lot of the Colonial House properties are on the smaller side and when you go above two people you knock out a good number of places which for the most part leaves only entire houses and that's where things start to get really pricey even in the off season and on shoulder nights. Nicolas-Tyler has two floors and overall is nicely appointed. The house has two dedicated parking spaces near the house at the far side of the main Wiliamsburg Lodge parking lot. The houses's first floor has a sitting area with small TV and a working fireplace that the housekeeping staff will light if it's below 50 degrees. There is a also a small dorm style fridge oddly placed in a random corner. There is a king sized bed and full bathroom as well. The 2nd floor has a couch, pull out trundle bed and two twin sized beds that are rock hard. There is also another bathroom and shower that are very interesting to use since the pitch of the roof encroaches on the head space big time (i.e. don't be too tall or else showering is borderline impossible). The main view from the back side of the house is of the Magazine and the Courthouse and if you're a CW lover, that can't be beat. With all this there needs to be some context. This house is not one of the original 88 but everything (aside from the TV's/fridge) are dated to look period appropriate. The pricing as I mentioned is super steep. A bit north of $400 for a one night Sunday stay during a sleepy time of March is nuts and at best is a one off gimmick that while nice, is seriously uaffordable to re-do with any kind of frequency let alone some of their other offerings that breach the $500 or $600 per night plateau. If you're looking for value, obviously this isn't it. But if you're looking for a special occasion splurge or something unique for a CW lover then this is it.

And to make it worse I was recovering from surgery and was a week out from going back to work so it was supposed to be a special trip. I called the front desk to let them know of the issue but said we'd stay in the room for the night since it was late but that I wanted to be moved the next morning. They of course apologized and said moving wouldn't be a problem. I stopped by the next morning and they assured me they were going to move me to a different room and would call to let me know when it was ready. They did move us to a much better room along the lines of what I expected. They also removed one night from our stay. It is a pretty hotel but I am concerned with the judgement of putting paying guests into the first room we were in. They gave excuses of a wedding and funeral but then just take the room offline and move us to another hotel for a night. We've stayed at The Jefferson, The Historic Cavalier and other luxury hotels and this one fell far short.

As many of the reviews previously stated, this is a cute little bed and breakfast. Also as…read morepreviously stated, the hosts, especially John, do have an encyclopedic knowledge of the history here in Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. Some further things to consider as you decide whether to make this place your stay while in Williamsburg: 1. Breakfast takes at least an hour as John will ask you where you are going for the day and then regale you with stories of the location, watching you as you eat. If you're a history buff with a deep love for stories and a desire to be fully engaged at 8am, this is the place for you. If you like to drink your coffee in silence while you slowly wake up, it may not be. 2. Ask a question, however small, about any part of the house or object in the house and a story is tied to it. Sometimes one story launches into another and it's hard to get away. 5 min or 30 min, you never know how long and politely extricating yourself can be difficult. It is delightful that every part has meaning, but this style may not be for everyone 3. There are English Country dances Tuesdays and Thursdays which they strongly recommend you joining in. Even should you choose not to go, the bedrooms are right off the ballroom and the dancing goes till 10pm. This may not be for everyone 4. There is a house rabbit that stays primarily in the kitchen with the millers but during breakfast is allowed to roam the main floor freely. Depending on whether you're allergic, this may not be for you. 5. The mattresses are hard and the pillows are quite firm. This is to my liking but may not be to yours 6. There is rooms are somewhat cooled. If you're used to sleeping at 75 degrees, shouldn't be a big deal. If you like to sleep at 65, you'll be quite warm. Overall, if you're looking for a warm, inviting place with hosts that will catch you whenever they see you to chat by sharing their stories and delight in living in Williamsburg, this is the place for you. If you're looking for a quiet uninterrupted holiday, you may want to look elsewhere.

You may find that is something reflected elsewhere in Colonial Williamsburg as well, but possibly not as consistently. Newport House is, as promised, walking distance to the places you will want to see in Williamsburg. It is across the street from William & Mary, if you are visiting there. The phrase "museum quality" likewise applies. If you enjoy history, and learning things, you'll enjoy the many stories and insights gracious owner John F. Millar can provide. You just need to ask questions. He's more than happy to share. He also will be dead on where it comes to where to eat, how much time to budget for various attractions, what is worth seeing, and what to avoid. Ask about the spoon bread at Christiana Campbell's. It's worth tasting. Aside from his personal connection to "Master and Commander" and "Pirates of the Caribbean II," John is a reliable guide where it comes to exploring Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. Aside from the dwelling and the furnishings, even breakfast will be a historically accurate experience. Ask hostess and wife Cathy Millar (also very friendly) about Josephine Bunnyparts and house rabbits. Or bee keeping, if you prefer. Newport House does not accept credit cards, so keep that in mind. If you want accommodations that are in keeping with the Colonial Williamsburg experience, Newport House is for you. If you like learning things, it's even better.
