    Absolutely charming inn, the main part of which was built around 1750. It has been stunningly…read morerestored to its original log walls and heavy ceiling beams, fireplaces everywhere, and a rustic country setting. The Innkeepers are unfailingly kind and accommodating. So hospitable. Nice wrap-around porch well appointed with rocking chairs (which we enjoyed in only the sunrise hours as it is July and brutally hot and humid.) The B&B is fully air conditioned with individual settings for each guest room. We stayed in the Silk Room, which is enormous! In the antebellum era, silkworms were raised in there and fed harvested mulberry leaves. Modern amenities such as walk-in showers are blended well with the historic features so that there is no jarring sense of disconnect. Breakfast is served each morning by the Innkeepers and is a feast for the eye as well as the palate. Coffee, tea, and ice are available in the dining room 24 hours. There is a shared refrigerator and microwave for guests' convenience. The common parlors downstairs are tastefully furnished with good antique pieces. We loved our brief stay, the last two nights of a two-week honeymoon. Back again someday? Hope so!

    What a beautiful B&B farm. If you're into quiet mountain mornings, adventure biking, fishing,…read moreswimming and relaxation; this is the place to be. There is a little bit of peace to be had for everyone. It's a pet friendly b&b farm, well behaved dogs are welcomed with open arms. The hosts: Deanie, Ken, Laura and Blair are amazing. They're so warm and welcoming, full of friendly conversation and inquisitive about everyone's interests and back grounds. There is plenty of morning coffee talk and stories a plenty. It feels like extended family. This is our second stay ( we knew we had to return again after our first visit) and it was just as amazing as the first visit. I recommend this place if you're looking to disconnect from mainstream life, and media and enjoy a quiet respite. My daughter and I enjoyed walks to pet horses, dogs, and cats around the property. We cannot wait to come back again.

    This is quickly becoming my home away from home. Going to Penmerryl feels like visiting family--if…read moreyour family had a giant, gorgeous piece of land with a swimming pool, canoeing/kayaking, a shaded tennis court, an on-call masseuse, and a number of places with fire pits (including a secret one by the pond!) The rooms are modern and the beds are really comfortable, and Deanie and Laura's breakfast is indulgently great. Now to the farm's semi-secret identity: it also happens to be a playground for adventure motorcycling! Don't worry, it's still QUIET near the lodge and the pool area (not a lot of loud Harleys here!) but if you're interested or just getting into the sport, this is the place to be. Blair is an outstanding coach and will teach you whatever you need to know about riding off roads (and will help you properly configure your bike to boot!) and there are miles of perfect trails through the woods to explore right on the property. If you're considering your first BDR, I'd HIGHLY recommend a few days with Blair and Laura at Penmerryl first--they'll get you ready to go. (They'll also point you to the local riding trails). I'm a little worried about this place taking off, but I couldn't help but share. If you come, you'll be hooked.

    Buckhorn Inn - Pumpkin French Toast

    Spent a quick night at the Buckhorn Inn and Tavern after a trip to Charlottesville. The room was…read morelarge. The queen bed was comfortable. For the most part the room was clean, but there were some small details that could have been better tended. The mirror in the bathroom needed wiped down and the sink faucet had some dusting of makeup powder for a previous visitor. There were some spots on the carpet that were missed during vacuuming. I would guess their water system is on a well as there was some sulfur odor from the water during showering. That being said the water was soft...so much so that rinsing soap away was difficult. We grabbed the brunch in the tavern in the morning. My husband had the farmhouse bowl which he enjoyed immensely. My pumpkin french toast was delicious as well. The Bloody Mary was tasty with the perfect amount of heat. The room was advertised as alloying a discount on brunch, however we were charged full price. The meal was very good, so we paid with no complaints, but if you stay and then eat, be sure to make sure to get your discount. Overall the stay was great. Just a few small items as mentioned, but nothing that would stop me from visiting again... well except maybe for the sulfur smell shower. We would definitely have brunch there again.

    Visited a month ago and then again today both times had chicken and waffles and both times I had…read morecompletely different experiences. Today's chicken and waffles included three chicken nugget like pieces on top of the waffle whereas last months was considerably more chicken and ham breaded strips. See attached photos. All other, meals during brunch were very good. During both experiences servers were overwhelmed, working both tables and bar. There appear to only be two wait staff.

The grounds are beautiful with a gazebo, fire pit, and small pond. We enjoyed a delicious three-course breakfast every morning. We suggested Brigitte should write a cookbook! She says she is thinking about it but needs more recipes. We will be watching the Facebook page for updates and will be one of the first in line to purchase it!! We celebrated our anniversary so splurged on some add-ons. Every extra was worth every penny. We will absolutely stay at the Foxfield Inn again! Thank you, Brigitte!

We stayed in the Hunt Country room. The king bed was very comfortable and had a romantic fireplace to keep the room warm. The room came with a jacuzzi bathtub that was perfectly sized for two. The Inn as a whole was very clean throughout and has great amenities. There is a coffee and tea bar in the hall for guests to use, and the Inn keeps it stocked with small snacks like nuts and popcorn. Guests can also relax in the hot tub out back or sit by the fire pit. The Innkeeper and owner Brigitte is lovely, and her cooking was amazing! Each breakfast started with a fresh cut fruit cup, baked good, juice, and coffee. We requested a savory main course, so we also had a small sweet dish to finish. Brigitte was mindful of our dietary preferences and did not disappoint with presentation or service. The Inn is conveniently located only a few miles from downtown and several hiking trails. You get the best of everything here, and we will definitely return!
