Wedmore Place

Such a peaceful spot with lots of history centric things to do close by. Although you could have a peaceful weekend without leaving the Inn because there's a wine tasting room, vineyard and tavern on the grounds. The rooms were decorated in different old European styles. The courtyard and breakfast room overlook each other. They also have a really cute old library. The espresso machines in the room actually made such creamy espresso, I'm considering getting rid of my old stove top one for a Lavazza. Also the toiletries and robes were much nicer than other Inns we've stayed at!

After wanting a romantic night away, we decided to book a night at Wedmore Place. The building itself is beautiful and full of history. The front desk staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating when checking in as well as throughout our night stay. The room we stayed in was so lovely. I would have stayed an extra night if we could've. We took advantage of going to the winery next door with our complimentary tickets to try our wine flights and really enjoyed ourselves. I would definitely love to come back here again for a weekend stay during the summer when their pool is open.

My husband and I stayed here for a midweek getaway and had a pretty lovely time! As wine people, the 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.

My fiancee and I stayed here from Virginia Beach doing one of the romantic weekend packages which included a bottle of champagne upon check-in, a wine tasting for two, a $100 gift card to the winery, and a 60 minute couples massage as well as breakfast every morning in the cafe on the lower level. The room was ready at check-in and it was very cute and well-appointed. We stayed in the Gascony room (#9) with a king bed loaded with pillows that was SO comfortable. It had a full bathroom with bath and shower and one sink and a fireplace. Staff at the front were super friendly and welcoming and the property is charming and "old world" with beautiful old decor and a large courtyard area with tables during warmer months. They had the wine flight coupons and our winery gift card ready and waiting for us and I had pre-scheduled the massage for the following day. We walked the property and enjoyed the scenery and enjoyed our lunch and wine tasting on property. It is also only 10 minutes into the town so you are only a few miles away from other dining and shopping and fun options.There were a few issues:-Fires can only be lit with one log which lasts about 1-2 hours, until 9pm at night so you rush back from dinner, and not at all if there is any wind. So we had a fire one night for about 1.5 hours with one small log, and then none the following day due to wind. Huge bummer.-Breakfast was a huge letdown. I have eaten dinner at the restaurant before and enjoyed it but breakfast was not that great. It consisted of some muffins and croissants, fruit, yogurt, cereal, and quiche which was all but completely fallen apart and picked over both days. Staff were friendly and provided tea and coffee and small talk - but this was not what I expected for a "French breakfast" where I thought we would be able to order some hot food options like eggs, crepes, or pancakes. Meh. My fiancee was not impressed at all and we ended up going elsewhere for breakfast the second day.-The couples massage was not that great. I repeatedly had to ask not to be jerked around on the table and the lady kept leaning into my head while trying to get to my back and was pressing my face into the table (she was much larger than me). I said something to her about it twice and asked her not to lean directly on my head anymore because it was uncomfortable. She jerked me around roughly and I kept opening my eyes to see what was happening with my fiancee while I saw him getting what looked like an actual massage... no rough jerks or movements. I asked for it to be more "relaxing" twice and she adjusted somewhat for a few minutes then would return to roughing me up. I'm petite so I don't particularly ask for massages to be super rough. She barely touched my lower back and shoulders at all until I finally asked her if she was ever going to massage them, she said she had 10 minutes left and at the end told me I should book a longer massage to get everything I wanted done. (I kept looking and my fiancee was having his back rubbed for like 25 minutes while she jerked my legs and feet around). Probably the worst massage of my life. I complained to the front desk about the massage experience and the gal up front said she would speak to her supervisor about it but I haven't seen anything yet. I chalked it up to a horrible experience and would never get another massage here - it was not relaxing at all. Aside from the massage and the breakfast - it's probably a 3.5 all else.

Disappointing. Staff was helpful and the adjacent winery was nice. Unfortunately, the hotel breakfast was underwhelming, the room was dirty and smelled strongly of burned wood. We couldn't open the windows to air it out but the front desk person closed the flue and it helped a little. Towels were not replenished after "cleaning." I heard that ownership has changed. They have their work cut out for them.

This place has a bougie, classic Williamsburg feel to it. The location in the Williamsburg Winery is gorgeous. There's a cute bar/restaurant in the basement and other nice places nearby as well. The decor, views, and natural lighting are cozy and classy at the same time. In addition to the historic vibe, the place is comfortable. The mattress is super thick and we slept like babies! They also provide the room with a lot of towels, which I love. You can light a fire in the room and they'll take care of it for you. The only improvements I'd wish for are small - we could've really used help with luggage and no one was around. Because the place is old, with low and sloped ceilings and thin hallways, a luggage cart is hard to maneuver. I also wish the bathroom had more than one outlet.

Romantic European charm with warm hospitality and original fire place and decor at the rooms.

We paid over $300 per night (plus taxes and fees) for what we expected to be a 1st class experience in Williamsburg. Our reservation included breakfast at this small inn which could have been wonderful had they put in any effort at all. Instead the breakfast fell short of what I would expect to be served at a budget hotel buffet., let alone a resort inn. It featured overcooked, dried-out cheese omelettes that appeared to be left over from the prior day(s), sausages that had been cooking since Monday (we were there on the weekend), and days-old quiche. An asian family sitting next to us spilled a drink as they were leaving. Rather than just clean up the mess quietly, the hostess and cleaning staff complained loudly about it a few feet from our table for all to hear.During our 1st night the temperature in our room was between 75-76 degrees, and adjusting the thermostat did nothing to change the temperature. The 2nd night after coming back from dinner the temperature in our room had climbed to 81 degrees (in December). Again, adjusting the thermostat did nothing. After my 2nd visit to the front desk we were offered to move to another room which we did. We had to pack our suitcases, laptop, toiletries, etc... and move ourselves to another room. When we checked out on Sunday morning, after suffering through the same overcooked cheese omelettes and sausages, we told the manager at the reception desk of the issue with our room. She said that she had heard about the issue and would let maintenance know of the issue, and apologized but said she was glad they had another room that we were able to move ourselves into. She offered us no accommodation on the full 1st class rate that we paid for a 3rd rate experience. My advice is to spend your money elsewhere.

Guests smoke marijuana in their rooms and it's supposed to be a non-smoking hotel, the walls are paper thin (no sound proofing), floors make so much noise when anyone walks, and the front desk staff besides Jo and Barb are rude and inconsiderate. Breakfast at the Cafe has completely changed; no more fresh scones or croissants. Even the honey for tea has changed! Stale rock hard quiche and cheese omelette and the Lavazza coffee machine doesn't work. It's clear they're cutting costs but the room rates are still high. Not worth the price to stay here anymore. Use to be a gem under previous ownership!

Great location, close to restaurants and Colonial Williamsburg. Accomodations were fine. Need more staff for in-house breakfast area (breakfast is included) Never got coffee, and many tables still had dirty dishes on them. Also when getting back to our room after visiting down town, housekeeping did not straighten up the room, make the bed, replace towels, etc. For the amount of people visiting this establishment, there truly needs to be more staff.
